Fine Art Posters

College dorms and the apartments of recent college graduates are notorious for looking absolutely terrible. The households of most dorms appear to suffer all of the interior decorating abilities of hand grenades, and their rooms and apartments usually appear to be decorated with this speedy but unaesthetic technique. So how do you provide your first apartment from coming across as like your high school bedroom, full of dirty clothes and torn Metallica posters? Though this may surprise some of the guys out there, when you invite girls over they really don’t want to trip over your dirty clothes and see posters of semi-nude women on the wall. Contrary to popular belief (especially popular among college freshman men), pictures of naked women do not draw the interest of real naked women. I know, it’s a shocker.

There are a number of ways to class up your apartment. Picking your clothes off the floor and learning to use a hamper is a good start, but you still have to do something about the wall decorations. Posters of the Backstreet Boys or Jenny McCarthy just won’t do. Fine art posters offer a nice alternative to the standard poster or photograph-adorned walls usually found in beforehand apartments, as they cost an inexpensive way to add a touch of class to a dorm room or apartment.

Fine art posters can work in any room, according to dingy, cinder-block dorm room to posh apartment. Since they’re easily available from poster and framing shops for $10 or so, it’s simple to find a fine art poster to fit your style and location. Monet, Van Gough, and Rembrandt posters are always popular picks, and it pays to put some thought into what astronomical art posters will give the impression best in certain locations. “Sunflowers” may be a great way to brighten up a dark bathroom, while it may clash with a living room that’s already painted bright green, as it’s not costs it to repaint your living room to accommodate a $10 poster. Vintage absinthe or alcohol are popular art posters as well, and they’re great for adding a stylistic touch to your home bar (even if your home bar is a handful of bottles kept on an end table).

Though fine art posters will look sharp unframed, it’s usually a great touch if you can give an inexpensive frame for them. Since they’re big this can sometimes be tough, though one-piece glass or Plexiglas frames are nice ways to cover the posters while not overshadowing them or breaking the bank.
