10 Tips for Perfect Gallery Walls
Creating a stunning gallery wall can transform any space into a work of art. Whether you're a seasoned art collector or just starting to curate your collection, these 10 expert tips will help you achieve the perfect gallery wall.
1. Plan it Out
Before you start hammering nails into the wall, plan out your gallery wall layout. Consider the size and shape of your wall, the spacing between frames, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.
2. Mix and Match
Don't be afraid to mix different frame styles, sizes, and artwork types. Browse through our diverse collections to add visual interest and personality to your gallery wall.
3. Find a Focal Point
Select a focal point for your gallery wall. We suggest a large piece of artwork to be your focal point. Browse all designs which are all available in A1 size. Build the rest of your gallery wall around this focal point to create a cohesive look.
4. Measure Twice, Hang Once
Ensure your frames are hung at the right height and are evenly spaced. Use a level and measuring tape to guarantee precision in your layout.
5. Play with Patterns
Experiment with different patterns and arrangements when hanging your frames. Try a symmetrical layout for a classic look or a more eclectic arrangement for a modern feel.
6. Lighting Matters
Consider the lighting in the room when choosing the location for your gallery wall. Natural light can enhance your artwork, while artificial lighting can create a dramatic effect.
7. Test Before Committing
Before hanging all your frames, lay them out on the floor to test different arrangements. This allows you to visualize the final look and make any necessary adjustments before hanging.
8. Add Variety
Incorporate a variety of artwork styles, from paintings and photographs to prints and sculptures. Mixing different mediums can add depth and texture to your gallery wall.
9. Consider the Surroundings
Take into account the furniture and decor surrounding your gallery wall. Ensure that the colors and styles complement each other to create a harmonious space.
10. Personalize It
Make your gallery wall a reflection of your personality and interests. Include pieces that hold sentimental value or showcase your unique style to make the space truly your own. Or, even better, browse our personalised collection to add prints to your gallery wall that are personal to you!
