If your poster has a lot of color in it, then a complementary colored frame may aid in accentuating the art. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"s1\">As it relates to the size – if your poster is a standard large size such as 24” x 36” or 27” x 40” – then a thin profile frame is likely to look better than a wide frame unless you have a large space to fill and really want to make a statement. If you have an off-size or small event poster, adding a mat and frame will kick it up a notch and make it look more like an art piece.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"s1\">When you buy a frame from Framedestination.com we will supply you with all the fittings you will need – as well as with step by step instructions to show you exactly how to frame a poster.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>See our other guides:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/guide-to-framing-concert-posters\">Framing concert posters\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/how-to-frame-movie-posters\">How to frame a movie poster\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"s1\">Finding the right frame for your poster and getting it framed isn’t as hard as you might have first thought.
