Retro Swimmer Wall Art: Styling a Two-Print Set

Pair of retro swimmer posters in blue and red

Elif’s retro swimmer prints come as a pair: two pool scenes in clear blue, each with a single swimmer in a red cap. A two-print set looks simple to hang, but a few choices make the difference between “nice” and “designed”.

Product images are room mockups: they show how a print could look on a wall, not photos of a finished print.

Where a swimmer pair works best

  • Bathrooms: the obvious and very charming choice. Frame them behind glass and keep them away from the shower.
  • Above a bed or sofa: two portrait frames side by side fill the width nicely.
  • Hallways: a cheerful surprise on the way in.
  • Home offices: the blue is calm and focused, the red caps add energy.

How to hang a pair

  • Same size, same frame. The prints are designed as a set; matching frames let them read as one piece.
  • Small gap: about 5–8 cm between frames. Further apart and they stop feeling like a pair.
  • Shared centre line: align the tops (and bottoms) exactly.
  • Above furniture: the pair together should be roughly two-thirds the width of the piece below.

Frames and colour

  • White frames keep things fresh and summery.
  • Light oak warms up the cool blue.
  • Red accents nearby, such as a towel or a cushion, pick up the swimmers’ caps.

Want something softer?

If the blue feels too bold, Tiny Swimmers in Blush Pink offers the same playful pool theme in a gentler palette.

See our guide to sizes and ratios before printing, so both prints match their frames exactly.
