At TROC Leuven, we curate second-hand posters that bring colour, culture, and personality to your walls. Our posters range from vintage film and music to travel, typography, and minimal graphic design. Selecting pre-owned posters is a smart, sustainable choice that adds character without stretching your budget. In our Herent showroom near Leuven, each piece is reviewed for condition, priced fairly, and ready to hang or frame to suit your space.
Why choose second-hand posters?
• Sustainability and circular design
Buying pre-owned posters keeps printed art in circulation and reduces the need for new production. Paper and ink deserve a longer life, and responsible framing helps preserve them for years.
• Unique character and story behind every piece
Second-hand posters often carry a gentle patina, a printer’s mark, or a dated caption. These small details make your home feel personal and lived in, not staged.
• Affordable quality without compromise
Posters offer large visual impact at a sensible price. With second-hand value, you can experiment with scale and style while staying within budget.
• Two-day reservation and delivery anywhere in Belgium
Spotted a favourite? Reserve it for two days while you measure your wall or choose a frame. We deliver throughout Belgium with a distance-based fee for careful, safe arrival.
What you’ll find in this category
Our selection changes daily, so every visit is a fresh discovery. Expect a broad mix that suits modern flats in Leuven and family homes across Belgium.
• Vintage film and music
Cinema posters, concert announcements, and album promo prints with bold imagery and typography. Ideal for living rooms, media corners, or creative studios.
• Travel and city posters
Airline routes, festival posters, and cityscapes that celebrate places you love. These posters create atmosphere in halls, kitchens, or guest rooms.
• Graphic design and typography
Minimal layouts, abstract shapes, and type-led compositions that add rhythm and clarity to contemporary interiors.
• Educational and decorative prints
Botanical charts, astronomy maps, and school-room illustrations that look great above desks or in children’s rooms.
Buying tips for second-hand posters
• Measurement and fit
Measure the wall area and note standard frame sizes before you visit. Posters often align with formats like A2, A1, or custom proportions. Leave space around the image for a mount so the composition can breathe.
• Material condition
Check paper thickness, edges, and the reverse for signs of prior mounting. Light creases, clean pinholes, or gentle fading can be acceptable and even desirable. Avoid heavy moisture ripples, mould, or brittle paper unless you plan restoration.
• Matching style with space
Choose posters that echo your room’s palette or introduce a controlled contrast. Cool blues calm a bright kitchen. Warm reds energise a hallway. In compact Leuven apartments, one large piece can feel tidier than several small ones.
• Restoration or care suggestions
Use acid-free mounts and UV-protective glazing for valuable posters. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity. For unframed storage, use archival sleeves and keep flat. A professional framer can flatten light waves and repair small tears.
How to style your posters
Start with a focal point. Above a sofa, hang a single large poster at eye level, then add a slim picture light from our Lighting category to create evening emphasis. In a dining area, pair two medium prints with aligned bottoms for a calm, graphic effect. For a studio or home office, build a grid of four posters with consistent spacing and matching frames. This structure keeps the room organised while showcasing your taste.
If your walls are textured or your furniture is patterned, choose posters with clearer compositions and fewer colours. This prevents visual noise. For minimal rooms in Herent, experiment with bold graphic posters to introduce energy. In family spaces, mix travel posters with botanical charts to tell a story of places and passions. Add a small plant and a ceramic piece from our Decoration category to soften edges and bring a natural note.
Framing choices shape the look. Black frames feel crisp and modern, natural oak adds warmth, and white frames blend with pale walls. A wide mount gives breathing room and elevates modest posters. For renters or temporary displays, use poster rails or clips to keep things flexible and light.
What you’ll find across sizes and formats
• Small prints for shelves and desks
Prop a small poster on a sideboard or bookshelf to create layers without drilling walls.
• Medium formats for pairings
Two medium posters hung side by side bring balance to corridors or dining nooks.
• Large statement pieces
A large poster above a bed or sofa can anchor the room and reduce the need for extra décor.
• Sets and series
Series from the same event or designer create cohesion. Hang them in sequence for rhythm and flow.
Complementary categories to explore
Posters work best in dialogue with your furniture and lighting. Browse Decoration for vases and sculptures that echo your poster’s tones. Explore Lighting for picture lights, floor lamps, and warm table lamps that make colours sing at night. Consider Cabinets with display space for books and objects that support your visual theme.
