MARS
The planet of bad ideas wrapped in good intentions. Cold, empty, and still somehow irresistible. Mars is the universe’s red warning light, and we keep treating it like a vacation home. This poster celebrates humanity’s favorite delusion: the belief that we can fix loneliness by moving it somewhere else. Because if there’s one thing we’re great at, it’s ruining new worlds beautifully.
Poster Survival Guide
Don’t Sunbathe It
Posters love light… just not that much light. Keep it out of direct sunlight unless you’re into that washed-out, vintage look.
Frame It, Maybe?
Frames aren’t just for rich art collectors. They keep your poster flat, clean, and safe from the horror of accidental coffee spills.
Dust, Don’t Crust
A gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth once in a while is enough. No, your mop does not qualify. And please… don’t use cleaning spray. It’s paper, not your kitchen counter.
Roll Responsibly
Moving? Roll it loosely and stick it in a cardboard tube. Don’t fold it. Folds are forever, just like bad tattoos.
Climate Control (For Posters, Not Your Mood)
Keep it in a dry, cool place. Humidity makes posters wrinkle like raisins. Basements and bathrooms? Hard no.
Recycle the Right Way
If, for some unholy reason, you stop loving it... don’t trash it. Donate, swap, or recycle.
For the Detail Freaks
The posters clean up nice with a sturdy wooden frame, already kitted out to hang straight on your wall (because wrestling with nails is overrated).
Ready-to-hang: Comes with the hanging kit, so you can skip the assembly drama.
Frame Material: Solid pine wood. Tougher than it looks.
Frame Size: Chunky enough to last (20-25mm thick), sleek enough to look good (1014mm wide).
Paper Weight: Heavyweight 200 gsm (a solid 80 lb), because floppy posters are a tragedy.
Paper Finish: Smooth matte, zero glare. No accidental mirror selfies here.
Protection: Shatterproof plexiglass, because accidents (and clumsy friends) happen.
Sustainability: FSC-certified or equivalent, so your conscience can relax.
On-Demand Magic: No warehouses, no dust. Printed fresh and shipped just for you.
What do I actually get?
If you only buy a Poster:
You get the artwork, printed in high quality, rolled up safely in a tube. No frame, no extras, just pure visual goodness waiting to hit your wall.
If you buy a Framed Poster
Same high-quality print, but this time it comes already living in a sleek frame (ready to hang the moment it arrives).
Ship & Flip
CAN I RETURN MY ORDER IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
Yep! EU law gives you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. So if you unpack your poster and decide it’s not love at first sight, you can send it back within 14 days. No hard feelings.
How do I start a return?
Just drop an email at hello@distinctroom.com with your order number. We’ll send you the return address and next steps.
Who pays for return shipping?
Changed your mind? You cover the return shipping.
Got a damaged, misprinted, or wrong item? That’s on me. I will replace it free of charge or refund you in full.
My poster arrived damaged. What now?
Snap a quick photo and email it to me (hello@distinctroom.com) within 30 days. I will sort it out with a free replacement (or a refund if you’d rather). Easy.
What if my order never shows up?
If your package takes a holiday and gets lost in transit, I will send you a new one. No extra cost, no stress.
When will I get my money back?
Once your return lands back with me (or you show us proof it’s on the way), I will refund you to your original payment method. Usually within 14 days, but often faster.
Can I swap for another design instead?
Not directly. Since everything is printed on demand, the quickest way is: return your poster → get a refund → place a shiny new order.
Are your posters considered personalized?
Nope! All designs are my own creations, not customer-customized. That means they are returnable under EU law. If we ever launch personalized prints, those would be non-returnable (but we’ll make that super clear).

Mars
Hope is a silent killer
I never dreamed of Mars specifically. I’m not one of those kids who watched The Martian once and started drawing domes in their notebooks (great movie though, Matt Damon was terrific). I just liked the idea that one day we’d look at a literal death planet and go, yeah, we could totally vibe there. That’s the human condition right there: zero chill, maximum delulu.
The idea of colonizing another planet has always felt kind of… comforting? Like, okay, we’ve messed this one up a bit, but at least we’ve got a backup plan 225 million kilometers away. That’s hope. And hope kills.
Mars isn’t special. It’s just close enough to make bad ideas sound realistic. It’s freezing, dusty, and occasionally tries to murder rovers with planet-wide storms... but sure, let’s move in. That’s what I love about it. Humanity’s collective response to “you can’t survive there” is basically “watch me.”
Red Confession
Humans never really stop. We like to call it exploration, but sometimes it feels more like restlessness, like we’re allergic to stillness. Every time we reach the edge, we build a ship, light a rocket, or draw a new border just so we can say we made it further. It’s how we survive. It’s also how we ruin things.
Mars might be next, the unlucky witness to our ambition. A planet that’s been silent for billions of years, minding its own cosmic business, waiting in the cold. And here we are, already dreaming of planting flags, building cities, changing its air to match ours. We call it progress, but maybe it’s just another kind of hunger.
There’s something both beautiful and cruel about that. Our need to explore is the same spark that keeps us alive, but it burns everything it touches. Mars won’t be the first world we scar, but maybe it’ll be the first to make us look back and wonder if we were chasing life... or just trying not to feel alone in the dark.
Curiosity in overdrive. The playlist for explorers who mistake distance for discovery... chasing new worlds just to avoid themselves:
