I just love gallery walls! They are so inspiring and they really do change a room’s mood, adding color, style and personality in any space. From beautiful quotes, brilliant designs and illustration, to family pictures and drawings, gallery walls, could feature anything that you love to see everyday, that lifts your spirits or inspires you. However, creating the perfect gallery wall for your house is not an easy matter, it needs careful consideration and planning in order to achieve this laid back, casual look. Here are some tips to help you rock your gallery wall!
Don’t be afraid to play with colors, but keep a basic color scheme.
Yes, if your goal is to make a gallery wall that adds a splash of color in your room, go for it! Don’t be afraid to play with different hues and textures, but try to find a common color thread between the things you hang.
You don’t have to ruin your walls.
You don’t need to hang the objects in order to make a gallery wall. If you are hesitant of making holes in your wall just use a shelve, a bench or a table and decorate it with your favorite art !
Play with the sizes.
Don’t stick to one size of artwork! Give a sense of variety to your gallery wall by including pieces of different dimensions and use them to create interesting combinations.
Don’t be too strict with spacing.
Good spacing between your pictures or art is an important part of a gallery wall, as you don’t want it to seem overly cluttered, but you also need to give a sense of unity and coherence. Before making holes in your wall, use a pencil to sketch the outlines or the objects you would like to hang to see if they fit in a nice way. However, don’t be afraid to put some pieces closer to each other to make them ‘read’ as one piece.
