What Do We Need To Know About Gallery Walls?
Gallery walls can feature a grid, more regular, or free form shape, the latter being more chaotic and eye-catchy. Choose the form of your gallery wall according to the style of your space – if it’s formal, you will need a grid gallery wall, if not, then a free form is always a good idea.
Now for the frames. You may be using mismatching or matching ones, matching ones are great for grid gallery walls, while free form ones may include mismatching but still somehow cohesive frames – black and gold, for example, or matching in orientation, or of the same type of wood. Even if you are rocking a free form gallery wall, you need something cohesive in it, and your frames can help with that. If you are going to use all different frames, make your gallery wall cohesive with a single color scheme or type of art. The same goes to matting – you may use it or skip it or prefer matting and frames for some artwork and for others no.
Ledge gallery walls are also a great idea, besides not drilling your walls that much, you get a gallery wall that can be easily changed anytime you want.
Where To Place A Dining Room Gallery Wall?
A dining room gallery wall is usually placed on the wall that you see upon entering – it guarantees that this feature will be always seen. Of course, you may go for another wall that is blank, to fill it in and to make your dining room more eye-catchy. You may even fill a whole wall with artwork and photos if you like, without puzzling over shapes and placements. Get inspired!
