How to Design Your Travel Accent Wall

1. Choose your layout

Whether you prefer a symmetrical layout, a gallery wall style, or a minimalist row, we have design templates and mockups to guide your choices. From small formats like 8x12” (S) to oversize 20x30” (XL), you can mix and match poster sizes to create rhythm and contrast.

2. Pick your destinations

Start with places you’ve been, want to go, or that hold a special meaning. You can filter by country or theme on MyRetroPoster.com to find the perfect match.

3. Frame it your way

Frame your prints locally, mount them with gallery rails, or use minimalist hangers — whatever suits your interior style. We also offer custom framing upon request.

4. Stay at eye level

When hanging your travel wall, always keep the center of the composition around eye level. This ensures harmony and visual balance in the room.
