Creating a gallery wall is one of the most exciting and personal ways to decorate your home. It’s not just about hanging pictures—it’s about curating a story, a vibe, a feeling. And the best part? You don’t need to be an interior designer to do it! Here’s how to create your very own stunning gallery wall with art prints:
- Start with a Theme or Story
Decide on a loose theme: maybe it’s travel memories, abstract moods, black-and-white minimalism, or bold color explosions. A unifying idea will help your wall feel cohesive even if the prints are different styles. - Choose the Right Wall
Pick a wall that feels like a natural canvas—above a sofa, along a staircase, in a hallway, or even in a cozy reading nook. Think about how much space you have and the kind of energy you want to bring to that spot. - Plan Your Layout
Before hammering nails into the wall, lay your prints on the floor and experiment with different layouts. Symmetrical grids create a formal look, while eclectic, freestyle arrangements feel more relaxed and artistic. - Mix Sizes and Frames
Combining different sizes adds visual interest. You can unify the look with similar frames or mix frame styles for a more bohemian vibe. Just make sure there’s enough balance so it doesn’t feel too heavy on one side. - Hang at Eye Level
As a general rule, the center of your gallery should be at eye level—around 57-60 inches from the floor. Adjust slightly depending on your room’s height or furniture placement. - Embrace Imperfection
Your gallery wall should feel alive and evolving—it doesn’t have to be “perfect.” Add new pieces over time, swap a few out seasonally, and let it grow with you.
