Gallery Wall Ideas to Dress up Your Walls

An instant way to elevate even the most humbly decorated rooms is by designing a well-thought-out gallery wall. Be it in the living room, dining room, entryway, or kids room, walls that come clad with a curated mix of art and print bring in a major dose of personality and life. 

Design Your Gallery Wall by Motif

Design your gallery wall by a theme. It is an easy way to ensure the overall cohesiveness of the decorative layout sans having to overestimate the placement. In this dining room design, we did just that, by opting for an abstract motif, which in turn fit right in with the room's overall eclectic aesthetic.

Not Outside The Realm of a Gallery Wall

Step up your gallery wall game. Instead of hanging all your frames on the wall, for some frames, opt for a lower display. This setup offers a more dramatic finish. Layer the oversized prints on the floor and filter in smaller decorative objects to break up the continuous flow of art.

 From Whitewashed to Minimal Chic

The white walls add to the dining room's fresh and airy vibe, but it runs the risk of looking whitewashed. If you would like to maintain the clean and minimal vibe, build a gallery wall with a hint of color that elevates the look of the entire room to lively chic.

Have a Spring Fling With Your Gallery Wall 

Swap your existing gallery wall or create a brand new one to embrace the seasonal changes. This gallery wall we designed boasts no shortage of color, which we think is vital in achieving the spring look. In this design, furnishing and furniture are earthy. The gallery wall, however, saturates the wall and adds the vibrant pops of yellows, reds, and green, which manages to complement the overall Spring aesthetic of the living room.
