A gallery wall is one of the most popular types of decorating and personalizing a space, and you can find an idea for literally any space, theme or color scheme. One of the current trends is a seasonal or holiday gallery wall, and today’s roundup is about the cutest kind of it: Christmas gallery walls.
Why Making A Christmas Gallery Wall?
First of all, it’s a huge decoration that will create a vibe in the space and you won’t have to spend a lot of time or effort to make it. Second, it’s a nice way to personalize your Christmas decor style and theme or colors and tie them up to the existing interior. Third, even a small Christmas gallery wall will make a big difference, wherever you make it.

Wall-Mounted Christmas Gallery Walls
The most traditional solution is hanging your art and photos or other items on the wall, and this is a cool way to get lovely decor without taking shelf or floor space. If you aren’t ready to drill the walls just for seasonal decor, remove your existing gallery wall and hang your seasonal one there, and you may even use the same frames, which will make mixing and matching easier. While choosing what you’ll hang, consider the style and colors of the space. Besides photos and art you may include prints and even wallpaper and gift paper in frames (these are much easier and faster to make), and if you want to go more creative, you can try faux taxidermy, garlands, monograms, ornaments and much more.

Ledge Christmas Gallery Walls
My favorite idea is a ledge gallery wall because it’s the easiest way to change and mix and match as much as you want without drilling holes or applying other effort. If you have ledges, just remove the art that doesn’t match and place your Christmassy pieces. Here you may also use everything you want from art and signs to books and cute toys and figurines. Besides getting ledges, you may use shelves, consoles, mantels, cabinets and just coffee tables at the wall. The larger the surface is, the more and bigger objects you can include.
