Gallery walls are a fabulous way to liven up any space in your living spaces. We love creating feature gallery walls in our home, it adds splashes of colour to otherwise dull spaces such as hallways and above beds + its a great way to display all your favourite art pieces at once! Read on for our top tips and tricks to create an eye catching gallery wall in your home.
Tip No.1 Keep it Simple
Gallery walls can be anything you want. Your favourite photos, art prints, drawings – really, anything you can frame! Collect all your favourite pieces up, this may take some time but we promise its worth it.
We took inspiration for our gallery wall in the shop from The Dybdahl Co collections – these really are something to aim for!
This Japanese inspired gallery wall really has our hearts!
Tip No.2 Find your Theme
Colours, look, pictures or prints? What is the theme you’re going for – find your colours, pick out which pieces fit from there. Keep your gallery wall special and pick out your favourite pieces, over time your collection will grow and more can be added as memories are made.
You can shop by category over on the prints page of our website.
Tip No.3 Lay it Out
Measure out your space and lay out your finalised pieces on the ground to decide on your final layout. From there you can decide which pieces to keep and if any need removing – leave a gap between each piece to add some space and take a picture once you’re happy. This bit is entirely up to you, if something feels wrong then take it out!
From big to small choose a variety of prints to really make a gallery wall that pops – or choose all the same size for a grid effect.
Tip No.4 Ready to Hang
Take picture hooks and a hammer and get ready to hang your gallery. We suggest making a template on the wall of where the top of the frames will be / where the nail needs to go – this can be erased after and saves any mistakes being made!
Tip No.5 Stand Back and Enjoy
Stand back and take in all your hard work – remember if you don’t like something you can always take it down and replace with a similar sized print or picture. Your gallery can easily be updated if you decide on new favourites and make new memories!
