Minimalism can sometimes feel cold and sterile, but when you mix the clean aesthetic with warmth, personality and queer art, something magical happens.
At QueerWall, I've gathered posters that will help you create a home that is both stylish and full of soul, emotion and personal expression.
Minimalism + LGBTQIA+ = Perfect balance
Minimalism is all about stripping away the unnecessary , but that doesn't mean your home has to be boring. On the contrary, the right art can make it so:
-
airy
-
harmoniously
-
personal
And that's where my queer posters come in.
Tip 1: Choose one color accent
Minimalism works best when you have a neutral base, white, beige, black or gray, and then a color that pops .
For example: a poster from the Text & Quote collection with a strong color against a white wall provides both focus and warmth without being cluttered.
Tip 2: Play with sizes, a statement poster does the job
A large piece of art (e.g. 50×70 cm or larger) does more than several small things put together. A single piece from Queer & Vintage Retro Posters gives the room both feeling and history, without cluttering it.
Tip 3: Leave some air – let the art breathe
Minimalism loves white (or blank) space around the subject. The frame around the poster is almost as important as the subject itself.
It gives the room:
✔ balance
✔ focus
✔ a sense of harmony
It's quality of life, even if it's a queer, cocky poster.
Tip 4: Combine simple form with emotion
Minimalism doesn't have to be emotionless. A poster from the Love is Love collection sets the tone for the room by conveying a warm, human feeling, perfect in both a bedroom and a living room.
Short guide on how to do it:
-
Choose basic colors in the room (neutral).
-
Pick a color accent from your favorite poster.
-
Choose a major masterpiece – the rest will simply have to wait.
-
Leave the wall space free around the art .
-
See how the warmth radiates throughout the room.
