Crafting the Perfect
Gallery Wall





Choosing artwork to showcase in your home is one of the most creative and personal aspects in the interior design process. Styling your home with wall art that you feel a personal connection to and matching the aesthetic you’re creating in your space is the goal. Gallery walls are a favorite when it comes to incorporating several pieces of art in the same area. A gallery wall can be described as a display of collected art to add warmth and character to a space. These walls can correlate through color, style, subject matter, etc. Today we’re sharing our favorite tips for crafting the perfect gallery wall and achieving that wonderfully styled look in your home.





Designing a gallery wall presents the opportunity to get creative. An assortment of new and old pieces can be combined to create a visually appealing display that suits your personal taste and starts conversations. Think about your favorite color or subject matter and start from there. If you love blues, you can go for a mostly blue themed palette and add in supporting colors to keep it interesting. If you love landscapes, use one or two pieces that showcase landscapes as the focal point and bring in complementary pieces like ones depicting nature and florals. Select art that speaks to you and use these coordinating tips to bring the wall together and help it look intentionally styled.




Gallery wall pieces we love that aren’t traditional framed art


A key component of curating the perfect gallery wall is having variety. Art in different sizes, portraits, landscapes, frame colors, mediums, you name it. You want to train the eye to move seamlessly around the wall from piece to piece because there are so many interesting things to look at. Don’t forget to think outside the box, or in this case, outside the frame. Framed art and photos aren’t the only things that can be used for a gallery wall. Try hanging plates, wall sculptures, or mirrors in coordination with framed art to give your gallery wall some diversity.



Three Things To Remember When Crafting A Gallery Wall


1 - Balance

Have a mixture of large and small pieces as well as portrait and landscape pieces. This will help the gallery wall appear equally distributed and not too heavy or too light in any one area.


2 - Color

Think of the colors in your home and how you can coordinate your gallery wall art with those colors. Deciding on a color palette can help get the gears turning if you're unsure where to start with your gallery wall.


3 - Let Your Personality Shine

Let us not forget that this is YOUR home. If you have an antique piece that was passed down to you, something you collected along your travels, or even a piece that includes your favorite color, a gallery wall is the perfect place to highlight those personal treasures and elevate them in your space.






The great thing about crafting a gallery wall is that it can be as simple or as detailed as you like. They allow creativity and personal taste to blend as one so that your home truly feels like you. The above tips and tricks should help you get started when envisioning your own gallery wall. Designing a home you love is an exciting endeavor and the little creative choices throughout are what really make everything come together so beautifully.
