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.

Does Eclectic Tickle Your Senses? 

The dining room decor can typically err on the snoozy side if you don't pay attention. The fix? A combination statement piece on one side balanced by a gallery wall on the other that complements the aesthetic of the room.

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.

Trade Your Headboard for a Gallery Wall

A gallery wall in the bedroom calls for soothing art hung slightly above the head resting area. And if you're pressed for inspiration, turn to abstract art. Also, utilize the wall art to bring in a healthy dose of color to the room.

Up the Wall

When you have an entryway that doesn't allow for traditional decor elements, because of architectural constraints, put up a gallery wall. This entryway gallery wall featured in the design emulates the shape of the staircase by using frames of different sizes.

Gallery Wall With a Touch of Vintage

For the gallery wall that comes with the intention of adding a touch of vintage, French chic is apt. And that's precisely what we did with this room by adding the collage above the sofa.

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.
