Complete decoration guide
The entryway is the first impression your visitors get of your home, and a personalized city map poster can make it memorably elegant. In an entryway, wall space is often limited and foot traffic frequent, which demands specific choices. Hang the poster at eye level (155-165 cm from the floor to center) because in an entryway, you are always standing. For narrow entryways, a vertical 30x40 cm format avoids visually cluttering the hallway. Wider entryways can accommodate a 50x70 cm, or even a 70x100 cm in a large hall. A frame is essential in a high-traffic area: it protects the poster from rubbing, rain splashes, and bumps. Choose a frame with anti-glare glass if your entryway faces the door. Terracotta and Copper Patina styles instantly warm the welcoming space, while Noir and Emerald bring a sophisticated touch. Complete the scene with a matching coat rack, a mirror opposite to enlarge the space, and a small console under the poster with a catch-all tray. Since entryway lighting is often artificial, a wall sconce or adjustable recessed spotlight highlights the poster the moment the door opens.
The ideal ambiance
Terracotta and Copper Patina instantly warm up a hallway or entrance hall. Your city map, carefully framed, tells every visitor: here, we travel, we live, we have a story. It is the first artwork you see and the last you remember.

Frequently asked questions
What poster format for a narrow entryway?+
For a narrow entryway (less than 1.5 meters wide), opt for a 30x40 cm format that does not visually clutter the space. Hang it on the longest wall, at 160 cm from the floor to center. You can also create a duo with two 30x40 cm formats stacked vertically (two different cities) for a vertical composition that visually lengthens the hallway.
Do I need a frame for a poster in the entryway?+
Yes, a frame is strongly recommended for the entryway. This high-traffic area is exposed to rubbing, rain splashes, and drafts. A frame with glass protects the poster and adds a professional finish. Choose a slim frame in black aluminum or natural wood depending on your style. Anti-glare glass is a bonus if the entryway receives direct light.
Which city should I choose for an entryway poster?+
The entryway is the ideal place to display the map of your hometown, current city, or a destination close to your heart. It is a personal touch that every visitor will notice upon entering. Cities with organic street plans (Paris, Rome, London) create particularly aesthetic posters thanks to their winding, irregular street networks.
