They’re not just for metalheads or those who haven’t redecorated since college. Replace that dog-eared print of van Gogh’s Starry Night with a poster-size enlargement of an intimate close-up shot for a bold, portraitlike presentation.
Where to get it: Photoworks (www.photoworks.com) can make prints of up to 36 by 48 inches from digital images in about a week. The website offers simple instructions for uploading, cropping, and removing red-eye.
Cost: About $35 for a 36-by-24-inch print.
How to hang it: With 54Dean’s ReFRAME system ($26 for a 24-inch-wide frame, www.54dean.com), you can hang your poster like a school map. At the top and bottom, magnets hold it between a strip of walnut (shown here), birch, or ebonized walnut and a wall-mountable metal strip underneath.
