Movie posters from classic films, cult films or favorite films are a great addition to any home, office or commercial building. They are ideal for a home theater room, giving that touch of going to the movies right in your own home.
The choice of authentic, rare, or difficult to find movie posters always creates a conversation piece in the room. Finding the right movie poster frames to highlight the poster and draw the eye adds to the look of any art.
Frames to Match The Era
Different areas of film from the silent pictures to what is now known as the classics are often displayed in very traditional types of movie poster frames. These are simple and elegant, highlighting the poster without creating a distraction.
For the older movies and the silent pictures, a great look is a very thin frame that creates a soft border. Often in black or dark brown, perhaps even lacquered to give an antique look, these are sophisticated looking for black and white or color posters.
A Glamorous Look
Another option for classic movie posters or for modern romances or epic types of movies is to choose a very glamorous and gilded look. The gold frame or the gold mat with a beautiful black frame will really stand out and create a focal point for the room.
Pairing the gilded gold or silver frame with an overhead art light adds a bit of dazzle and shine to the poster. This is ideal as these two metals will match with any color from earthy tones to vibrant reds, blues, and greens in the poster.
A Futuristic Look
Science fiction and futuristic movie posters will look amazing in a frame that is silver or chrome. Keeping the lines very clean and crisp will provide the minimalist look that will allow the artwork in the poster to be the center of attention.
Choosing movie poster frames that include a main color in the poster will also add to the look of the design. Trying different frames and considering various options will provide a better perspective before making a final decision.
