Featured product: Abstract Black & White Mountain Landscape Poster · Parent category: Line Art Minimalist Posters
Quick rule: pick one vertically oriented poster sized roughly ½–⅔ the width of your console or bench, and hang the center at ~145–155 cm for a calm read in motion.
Why minimalist ink landscapes work at the door
Hallways move fast. Black line on a light ground is easy to read from across the space, and the negative space keeps visual noise low. A single horizon, a soft moon, or spare ridgelines add structure without crowding hooks, baskets, or a console.
- Clarity: high contrast remains legible in low or side light.
- Versatility: pairs with oak, rattan, matte black hardware, or stone consoles.
- Scale control: simple compositions look tidy even in small formats.

Styling cue: keep the console surface 70–90% clear; use one key tray and a slim vase to protect the calm effect.
Sizing & spacing for narrow foyers
- Single statement: for 120–150 cm entries, choose a 60–80 cm wide piece.
- Above furniture: leave 10–15 cm of air above a console or 15–20 cm above a bench.
- Door trim clearance: 8–10 cm minimum to keep edges safe and uncluttered.
- Series: stack two 40×60 cm verticals with a 6–8 cm gap if the wall is long.
Canvas vs. framed poster
Canvas is forgiving under strong side light and has soft edges that feel tidy near doors. Framed posters deliver crisp borders and budget flexibility—choose a thin black or natural oak frame with a generous white border (mat) for breathing room.
Palette & materials that flatter ink art
- Three-tone formula: light wall, dark art, natural wood.
- Metals: matte black or brushed steel; add one small brass accent if needed.
- Textiles: charcoal runner or jute mat to ground the floor plane.
Lighting for calm first impressions
Use warm-neutral bulbs (2700–3000K). Angle sconces slightly off-axis to reduce glare on glass; or choose matte posters/canvas. If hardwiring isn’t available, a plug-in picture light or shaded table lamp on the console adds soft focus.

FAQ
What size works above a 110 cm bench?
Center a 60–80 cm wide piece above the bench, leaving 15–20 cm of air between bench top and artwork edge.
How high should I hang art in a hallway?
Keep the artwork center ~145–155 cm from the floor. Adjust slightly for household height averages.
Is one large piece calmer than a pair?
Usually yes in tight spaces. Choose a pair only if the wall is long enough to give each piece breathing room.
Do framed posters glare near glass doors?
They can. Use matte finishes or angle light off-axis. Canvas avoids most glare thanks to its textured surface.
Which frames suit ink landscapes?
Thin black or slim oak frames keep attention on the composition; a wide white border helps the ink breathe.
