Modern Motions

2 posters · 2 × 19.7x27.6 in

Modern Motions pairs Sculpted and Evening Arc, two of Postery's own abstracts built from overlapping arcs and half circles. Sculpted stays in sand, beige and brown, while Evening Arc moves into muted blue, olive and deep navy, so the eye travels from warm to cool. A white margin around each motif gives a calm, gallery-like finish. Instead of a straight line, the posters are staggered, which echoes the movement in the shapes. Both are 19.7x27.6 in and suit a reading corner, a living room or a bedroom with soft, rounded furniture.

Styling tips

• Oak frames keep the warm side of the palette in focus. Slim black frames would sharpen the look and make the navy in Evening Arc stand out.
• Echo the rounded shapes in the furniture: a soft lounge chair, a round side table or a lamp with a half-moon shade.
• Mix cream textiles with a darker wood such as walnut, so both the light and the brown tones in the prints return in the room.
• Repeat a touch of olive or dusty blue in a book, a vase or a cushion, so the cooler poster connects with the rest of the corner.

Hang the wall

With 2.5 in between the frames, the wall measures about 43 × 39 in. It works best above furniture that is 55–63 in wide. Without furniture directly below, place the center of the group 57–59 in from the floor. Hang Sculpted first, then place Evening Arc to the right and about 10 in higher, as in the picture. Mark both positions with masking tape before you drill.
