A gallery wall is a very popular decor feature for every home, it helps to personalize your space and to tell the story of your home or family or show off your personality. More and more homeowners opt for such gallery walls to give interest to various rooms, from bedrooms to bathrooms, and today’s roundup is for those who want to create such a decoration in the living room. But let’s first consider some features and ideas of gallery walls on the whole.
Common Features Of Gallery Walls
Gallery walls can be grid or free form ones, the first giving a more elegant touch to the space, the latter looking more creative and eye-catchy. What to choose? It’s totally up to you and the style of your room – the more refined and chic it is, the better a grid gallery wall will look. After choosing the shape of your gallery wall, you will need to make a layout using paper or your PC, make a photo with your phone and repeat it on the wall.
The frames you are using can be mismatching or matching, matching ones are great for grid gallery walls, while free form ones may use mismatching but still somehow unified 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 them. If you are going to use all different frames, make your gallery wall cohesive with a single color scheme of art you are using. 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.
