The New Year: A Time to Refresh Your Space and Style

The New Year brings fresh opportunities to embrace new styles, set new goals, and enhance your personal space. Whether you’re updating your wardrobe, repainting a room, or adding new artwork, small changes can make a big difference in how you feel and live this year. If you’re looking to transform your space, adding a custom poster from owthentic is a great place to start. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the perfect poster for your space?

1. Understand Your Space

Before adding new decor, take a moment to assess how your space makes you feel. Is it cluttered or chaotic? Or does it inspire calm and creativity? Understanding the energy and purpose of your space will guide your decisions on how to transform it for the new year.

Identify the areas that need attention. Perhaps your office lacks inspiration or needs minimalist art to keep you focused. owthentic’s collection of custom posters offers the perfect solution, providing everything from motivational quotes and abstract designs to minimal art, all helping to create a space that motivates and reflects who you are.

2. Consider Size and Placement for Maximum Impact

Once you’ve evaluated your space, the next step is choosing the right size and placement for your posters. From signature square sizes to classic 18x24 sizes, you need to consider these choices. These unique sizes make it easier to find a size that complements your space, whether large or small.

A large poster can create a bold focal point, while smaller prints are perfect for intimate spaces. When deciding on placement, think about balance. Posters above a sofa or desk can anchor a space, while those near a window can play with natural light. Since our posters don’t require frames, you can even choose a larger size to add more visual impact.

With Owthentic, our diverse range of designs allows you to experiment with different sizes and placements, ensuring your space feels cohesive, vibrant, and full of purpose.

3. Choose Themes and Colors that Reflect Your Personality

The start of the New Year is the perfect time to embrace change, and your space should reflect not only your style but your values and aspirations. When selecting posters, consider how the theme and colors will enhance your environment and evoke the right mood.

Think about the theme of your posters. Do you want to feel inspired by motivational quotes or energized by bold, abstract art? Maybe you find peace in nature-inspired imagery. The right theme helps you shape how you feel in your space. A playful theme brings joy, while minimalist designs offer calm and clarity. When your posters align with your personality, your space becomes a true extension of who you are.

Next, consider the colors. Bold hues like red or yellow can energize a room, while soft blues and greens promote relaxation. Neutrals like beige, gray, or white create a sophisticated backdrop that complements any design. 

4. Mix and Match: Create a Unique Look with Different Styles

Decorating your space gives you the freedom to express your individuality, and sometimes that means mixing different styles for a truly unique look. Combining posters with various themes, colors, and designs can add energy and interest to your environment.

Embrace contrast by pairing bold, modern prints with minimalist designs. This creates a sense of harmony and visual intrigue. For example, a vibrant abstract piece can be balanced by a simple, monochromatic quote. Mixing styles adds layers of interest while maintaining balance.

One popular way to mix styles is by creating a gallery wall. By combining posters of different sizes and themes, you can curate a visually striking display that feels intentional, not chaotic. Group similar themes together or scatter various styles across your wall for an artistic, spontaneous look. Our square 12x12-inch metal posters are perfect for building a dynamic gallery wall.

5. Quality Over Quantity: Invest in High-Quality Posters

When it comes to decorating your space, quality matters. Carefully chosen high-quality posters can elevate your space far more than a large number of lesser-quality prints. By investing in premium posters, you ensure your decor stands the test of time, both in style and durability.

Durability is key. Our posters are made from high-quality materials, like aluminum metal, which ensures they remain beautiful and vibrant, no matter where they’re displayed. Unlike traditional paper posters, our metal prints don’t bend or fade, making them a lasting addition to your home or office.

A well-crafted poster features crisp, clear prints with rich colors and fine details. Whether you love photography, illustration, or typography, our posters capture the essence of each design. High-quality posters don’t just decorate—they enhance your space and energy.

With the right choices, you can create a space that feels thoughtfully designed and lasting, year after year, time after time.
