Bauhaus posters: Timeless design for the modern home

The Bauhaus movement revolutionized the design world at the turn of the 20th century and continues to inspire us today. With its clean lines, geometric shapes and functional aesthetics, Bauhaus design has become synonymous with modern elegance. Let’s dive into the subject and explore how you can use Bauhaus posters to create a sophisticated and timeless interior design in your home.

What characterizes Bauhaus design?

Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Germany, the Bauhaus school united art, craft, and industry in a completely new way. Simply put, the movement was about creating beautiful design that was also functional and accessible to everyone.

Some characteristic features of Bauhaus design are:

• Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles, and rectangles
• Limited color palette with a focus on primary colors
• Strong emphasis on functionality
• Clean and minimalist aesthetic
• Typography as a design element

Bauhaus artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and László Moholy-Nagy created iconic works that still inspire designers and interior designers worldwide.

Why choose Bauhaus posters for your home?

Bauhaus posters fit perfectly into today's interior design style where clean lines and minimalism are at the center. To make it clear – these posters are not only beautiful to look at, they also contribute to creating a harmonious and balanced feeling in the room.

Here are some things to keep in mind when considering Bauhaus posters:

Timeless appeal : Bauhaus design has survived for over 100 years for a reason. The style's clean lines and geometric shapes never go out of style.

Versatility : These posters work just as well in a modern living room as in an industrial office or Scandinavian bedroom.

Color harmony : The limited color palette makes it easy to match the items with your existing decor.

Quality in focus : Just as the Bauhaus philosophy is about function and quality, our Bauhaus posters are printed on premium paper that will last for many years.

How to create a Bauhaus-inspired art wall

Creating an effective wall of Bauhaus posters requires careful planning. Here's what you can think about:

Choose a focal point

Start by deciding which wall will be your main focus. A clean, light wall works great as a backdrop for Bauhaus art because it allows the geometric shapes and colors to shine through.

Balance shapes and colors

Bauhaus design is all about balance. Combine different geometric shapes but make sure they complement each other. If you have a poster with strong red accents, balance it out with another that has blue or yellow elements.

Consider sizes

Vary the sizes of your posters to create visual interest. A larger centerpiece can be surrounded by smaller posters that support the overall theme.

Frame choices that complement the Bauhaus aesthetic

The right frame can really elevate your Bauhaus posters. Our wooden frames in wood, black and white are all perfect for this design style:

Wooden frame : The natural wood texture adds warmth and contrast to the strict geometric shapes. The unique pattern of the wood makes each frame a work of art in itself.

Black Frame : Creates a sleek, modern frame that lets the artwork take center stage. Black works especially well with posters that have light backgrounds.

White frame : Gives a clean and minimalist look that really enhances the Bauhaus feel. Perfect when you want the poster to blend in harmoniously with light walls.
