Decorating with Movie Memorabilia

Movie posters have a whole new lease on life. Remember back to your teen years when you put up your favorite movie posters on your bedroom walls, and you swore that you’d never grow too old to surround yourself with mementoes of the best movies ever? Well, movie posters have grown up. These days, movie memorabilia, including movie posters and entertainment memorabilia from your favorite stars, movies and sports, are among the hottest tickets in home décor. You can celebrate your love of Middle Earth with LOTR posters, hang your favorite Star Wars poster on the wall of your man room or deck out your home theater with celebrity autographs and entertainment collectibles and no one will blink an eye. In fact, your friends will be impressed with your collection of Hollywood memorabilia or sport memorabilia.

Home Theater Décor Ideas

Who would have imagined back then that you might have a room in your home dedicated to watching movies? These days, home theaters are popping up in even modest homes. Decorating your home theater room can be a whole lot of fun, especially if you choose a theme and run with it. Grab that Star Wars: The Duel movie poster – signed by the actors who played Darth and Luke, of course, and bulk up your collection with other Star Wars memorabilia.

Of course, movie memorabilia from one particular movie is only one of the ways to develop a theme for your home theater décor. You could also focus on collecting movie posters from movies directed by your favorite director, or starring your favorite movie stars. You could put together a display of movie posters and Hollywood memorabilia from Hollywood’s Golden Age, or focus on a particular movie franchise, such as Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and the other Pirates of the Caribbean movies. If you’re a Bond fan, you could create a collection centering around a James Bond poster or a Bond display featuring all of the actors who have played 007 over the years. The possibilities for personalizing and customizing your collection of movie memorabilia are practically endless.

Authentic Movie and Hollywood Memorabilia

The biggest difference between the movie posters you collected as a teen and today’s movie memorabilia is authenticity. Memorabilia dealers command high prices for items, photos and movie posters that are autographed or that came from the sets of famous movies. When you invest in expensive Hollywood memorabilia or sport memorabilia, it’s important to only buy from reputable dealers who can authenticate the signatures and memorabilia items that you buy.
