Create Your Own Gallery Wall in Your Home!

A gallery wall is simply a spot where you dedicate most or all of the wall to art. This is a really fun trend and can transform a formally dull room. If you have a lot of art you don’t know what to do with or want to start collecting, having a gallery wall is the perfect avenue to go.

Planning

The key to a good gallery way is planning beforehand. With all different shapes and sizes of your art, it’s really important that you first mark up where you want everything to go before nails start going in the wall.

Theme

A good way to make sure your gallery wall has some flow to it is to pick a loose them that you want to abide by. Whether that’s color tones, a specific medium, a subject, or anything else, having a theme will give you a good direction to follow. At the same time, don’t be too matchy-matchy or your gallery wall won’t seem genuine, so don’t be afraid to take a couple risks!

Change Things Up

If you’re someone who can’t sit still and likes to redecorate often, consider spreading the pieces far enough apart that if you want to change the order it won’t be a problem. Or, consider finding things of similar sizes so you know they can be changed with other pieces.
