In a world of digital reminders and calendar alerts, there’s something grounding about seeing your month laid out on paper. A wall calendar doesn’t just organise your days – it becomes part of your space, a small daily ritual, a moment to pause and look ahead.
Whether you’re planning a busy family year, marking milestones, or simply want something beautiful on the wall, here’s our guide to using (and loving) a personalised wall calendar.
Do people still use wall calendars?
Absolutely – and for good reason.
Wall calendars offer something screens can’t: clarity at a glance. No swiping, no notifications, no forgotten tabs. Just your plans, beautifully laid out where you can see them every day.
For many, they’ve become a welcome analogue counterpoint to digital life – a slower, more intentional way to keep track of what matters, from birthdays and holidays to the small moments worth remembering.
What are the benefits of a wall calendar?
A wall calendar works quietly in the background of your life.
It helps you:
See your month or year in one glance
Keep shared plans visible for everyone at home
Build simple rituals around planning and reflection
Add something thoughtful and design-led to your space
With Papier calendars, there’s also the joy of personalisation – choosing an illustrated design you love, or turning your own photos into something you’ll see every day.
Where should I hang my wall calendar?
The best place is wherever you’ll naturally look.
Popular spots include:
The kitchen – ideal for family plans, school dates and shared schedules
A home office or desk area – perfect for deadlines, goals and work–life balance
Hallways or utility spaces – often passed, rarely cluttered
All Papier wall calendars are wire-bound with a hanging loop, making them easy to place and move as your year evolves.
Do wall calendars make good gifts?
They make thoughtful, personal gifts – especially when customised.
Illustrated calendars are a lovely way to give something useful yet design-led, while photo calendars turn memories into an everyday keepsake. Filled with travel moments, family photos or favourite snapshots, they’re gifts that quietly give all year long.
They’re especially popular for:
New homes
Milestone birthdays
Thoughtful Christmas gifts
Long-distance loved ones
Can you choose the starting date for a wall calendar?
Yes – and it’s one of our favourite features. With our 2026 wall calendars, you can choose your starting month, whether that’s January, May, September or anywhere in between. It means your calendar can begin when your year does – aligned with a move, a new job, a school term or simply a fresh start.
No wasted months. Just a calendar that fits your life.
What size wall calendar should I choose?
We offer two considered sizes – A4 and A3 – each suited to a slightly different way of planning.
An A4 wall calendar is ideal if you prefer a neater footprint. It works beautifully in smaller spaces, home offices or pared-back interiors, while still giving you room to note key dates.
An A3 wall calendar gives you extra breathing space. It’s perfect for busy households, shared planning or anyone who loves seeing the month laid out in generous detail.
Both sizes are printed on luxurious paper and designed to feel as good as they look – it’s simply a question of how much space you
want to give your year.
A year, your way
A wall calendar isn’t just about dates – it’s about intention. Choosing what you put on the page, how you mark time and what you want to see every day.
Whether illustrated or photographic, starting in January or September, minimal or full of notes, a personalised calendar lets you shape the year ahead – one beautiful page at a time.
