Gallery walls are amazing for personalizing your space, they give it a character at once. There are various types of gallery walls, free form, grid ones but my personal favorite is a ledge gallery wall. A ledge gallery wall is like it says – a gallery wall placed on some ledges, and it’s amazing for literally any space in any style.
What Are Ledge Gallery Wall Advantages?
A ledge gallery wall is perfect for renters who aren’t allowed to make many changes in their homes but want to add interest to the space. Ledges suppose that you can change the artworks and remove and add elements anytime and all the changes possible are totally available and are very easy to make. Ledges also suppose that you can create a gallery wall with any form – a free form or a grid one depending on your needs and again change it anytime. Ledges can be done in any color and with any stain, which means that you will easily find an option for your space, whatever style and decor you have. You can also vary the size, length and highness of your gallery wall as it’s totally customizable, it can take a whole long wall in the corridor or just a small awkward nook somewhere in the kitchen and both options will look gorgeous. Ledges can hold not only artworks or photos, so you may easily include signs, clocks, potted greenery and succulents, figurines, statuettes and much more, anything is welcome!

What Are Ledge Gallery Wall Ideas?
The ledges you use can be contrasting or matching the wall, and the first idea is for those who want to highlight the gallery wall and make it a bold feature in the space, while the second way is to make all the objects on display floating in the air, which looks cool, especially for a modern, contemporary or Scandianvian space. A rustic or farmhouse gallery wall can be done with stained wooden ledges, and the frames can be stained, too. The frames of the artworks can be matching the ledges or mismatching them and each other, it depends on the look you want – more eclectic or more cohesive. Some artworks may have no frames, it’s also up to you and your taste.
Compose your gallery wall placing pieces forming a grid or a free form gallery wall but make sure they are all well visible, even if you hesitate, you can always make changes. You needn’t do any measurements or fix your gallery wall look on the wall as these are ledges and everything can be changed in a second, so just place your art and enjoy!
