There’s just something oh-so-stunning about gallery walls! Wouldn’t you agree? And the trend sure is catching on! Is it because they require less effort than wallpapering or painting? Nah!
Gallery walls are a perfect way to add whatever a setting requires, from just some color or texture, to personality and drama! Here are 9 ways of making sure you’re getting your gallery walls right!
1. Stun With Neutrals
The notion that ‘anything can go into a gallery wall’ is far from what’s aesthetically sound. Maintain a balance between different materials and elements like wood, metal and fabric. And keep the same rule in mind with colors.
2. Create A Delightful Distraction
Gallery walls are an amazing new take on the usual must-haves in your living room, like a TV, for instance. But it’s important not to go overboard with this new trend. Keep the room neutral, to help balance the bold artwork.
3. Bring Out Your Vintage Pieces
While selecting artwork, give it careful consideration. Select pieces that will go well together visually. Like the vintage works of art here.
4. Make Clumsy Corners Come Alive
While clumsy corners can make it difficult to hang a huge piece of art, a gallery wall can come to your rescue and save the day! Like it does in this setting.
5. Find Unusual Spaces
If you are looking to make a statement, then consider creating a gallery wall in unique spaces like the wall above the headboard or in the bathroom.
6. Use That Wall Next To The Staircase
A major part of the plan when creating a display wall is finding the right spot to create it in. Think of the ignored walls of the stairwell and get them to make a statement.
7. Keep It Minimal
Keep the gallery wall light and breezy just by restricting your color palette and keeping the furniture and decor accessories minimal. Choose a white base in your frames to keep your gallery wall contemporary.
8. Simplicity is Key
A few pieces of art is all that you require to bring in a major change in your decor. Arrange your artwork along a vertical axis, giving the arrangement some asymmetry, for a truly contemporary look.
9. Mirror, Mirror On The Gallery Wall!
A gallery wall made of mirrors can add a touch of opulence to your home and can make the space appear bigger. And you don’t need to break the bank to do this. Just buy old mirrors from antique or second hand furniture stores and paint the frames in rich antique gold and get started with your gallery wall project!
