The ones in the link aren't exactly what I'm after, ideally they would have an all black frame. If I find them in black and I don't like them I'll start looking at frames.

Surely they are more expensive than frames ?

Ikea do nice, simple frames for this sort of thing. Much better looking than the spring things imo

Cheers for replying. It's not really like that to be honest.

The best way of describing it is the spring would look similar to one in a pen. It is connected to a metal corner piece and attaches to a similar one which would be screwed into the wall.

Something like this you mean?

Theres also tensioned wire systems like this

Seem a bit OTT for a living room though....

When we do the extension one of the rooms is going to be a dedicated movie/lounge. One of the things we were thinking of doing was hanging several classic film posters.

Framing them isn't very cost effective and using blu-tac seems a bit cheap. When I used to live in Glasgow one of the HMV's used to hang massive posters using springs connected to each corner. I can't for the life of me find anything like it available.

Has anyone ever seen anything similar? Can you suggest any hanging options that are a bit different but look good?
