Motivational Prints: Lift Your Mojo & Get Stuff Done

The Game-Changing Mojo of Motivational Posters: Give Your Space a Bit More Heart and Hustle
In today’s world where our eyes are bombarded with visuals everywhere we go, motivational posters have stepped up from just being wall fluff – they’re now powerful brain boosters that help shape how we think and act. Here at Posterscape, we’ve handpicked a choice collection of motivational wall art that not only looks the part but also packs a punch in sparking inspiration and drive around your home or mahi space.
The Kiwi Take on What Makes Inspiration Tick
Studies in environmental psychology show that the visuals around us quietly nudge our behaviours without us even clocking it. A key study from Oxford Uni reckons workplaces that use clever motivational visuals get a solid 33% boost in productivity[6]. This is thanks to what the boffins call priming effects – basically, your brain gets prepped for action by seeing the same encouraging messages over and over.

A Quick Yarn on the History of Motivational Art
While motivational posters became a big deal in the office culture of the 1980s[2], their whakapapa goes way back. Ancient Egyptians carved motivational sayings into hieroglyphs, and Victorian “samplers” stitched with uplifting quotes were the old-school forerunners of today’s wall prints[2]. The modern era kicked off with Victor Baldwin’s 1971 “Hang In There, Baby” kitten poster, which flew off shelves with 350,000 copies sold[2], proving that people love a bit of inspiration on their walls.
