Aperitif Posters

Why this collection works on a wall

Vintage drinks advertising is pure mood — warm colour, elegant typography and the glamorous, sun-soaked charm of the continental cafe. Artwork in this style brings instant character to the rooms where you relax and entertain, which is exactly why it sits so well in a home bar, kitchen, dining room or alfresco-style nook. A single bold poster lifts a drinks corner or shelf display, while a matching pair flanking a bar cabinet looks deliberately styled and inviting. Because the palettes are rich and the lettering decorative, these prints add personality without needing any other decoration to support them.

How to choose your size

• Smaller prints are perfect for a home bar, a shelf ledge or a grouped gallery wall, where two or three pieces can build a layered, collected look together.
• Medium prints are the dependable all-rounder above a desk, console, sofa or bed — large enough to read clearly from across the room without dominating it.
• Larger prints turn a dining room or feature wall into a genuine focal point, carrying colour, detail and presence at full scale for maximum impact.

How to frame it

Warm, decorative artwork suits a thin black or brass frame; group two or three with matching frames above a bar or sideboard for a curated, hospitality-style look.

Whichever finish you choose, match the frame to the room rather than the artwork, keep mounts even on all sides, and hang the centre of the piece at roughly eye level so it sits in natural balance with the wall around it.

How to care for the print

Keep the print out of harsh, direct sunlight to protect the inks over the long term, and dust the surface now and then with a dry, soft cloth rather than any liquid cleaner. In busy, high-traffic rooms, framing under glass or non-reflective glazing adds a useful layer of protection against knocks and fingerprints. Treated this way, a quality matte print holds its depth and colour beautifully for many years.
