FRAME SIZE FOR AN 18×24 POSTER
The 18×24 inch poster (45.7×61 cm) is a popular medium-large format that slots neatly between 16×24 and 24×36. It is commonly used for art prints, photography, and advertising posters. The extra 2 inches of width compared to 16×24 give the image more presence without requiring a significantly larger wall space. Without a mount, you need an 18×24 inch frame. With a 2.5-inch mount border, the frame becomes 23×29 inches. The calculator below handles any mount width you choose.

WHERE TO HANG AN 18×24 POSTER
An 18×24 inch print fills a similar role to 16×24 but with a bit more visual weight. It works above two-seater sofas, over console tables in hallways, and as a single statement piece in a bedroom. In a dining room, two 18×24 prints side by side with a 10 cm gap between them create a clean diptych effect. The pair spans about 100 cm, which suits a wall section behind a four-seater dining table. In a home office, an 18×24 print behind your desk chair adds colour and personality to video calls. Hang the centre at about 145 cm from the floor for standing eye level, or 120 cm if you are mostly seated. This size also works well leaning on a mantelpiece or a deep shelf, propped against the wall at a slight angle.

FRAMING TIPS
An 18×24 print pairs well with a medium moulding (20–30 mm). At this size, the frame is large enough to benefit from a slightly wider moulding without it looking chunky. Natural wood tones (oak, walnut, beech) suit photography and fine art prints, while black or white frames work for graphic posters and illustrations. If you are hanging two prints as a pair, match the frame finish exactly.
