Gallery wall like a Pro
Are your walls feeling a little bare? It's time to unleash your inner curator and create a stunning gallery wall that'll leave your guests in awe.
I recently shared some expert insights with Huff Post on mastering the art of gallery walls, and today, I'm spilling all the secrets just for you!
Let's dive right in.
Start with Pre-Curated Galleries:
Short on time or overwhelmed by choices?
Opt for pre-curated art galleries available for purchase.
Select a color scheme that suits your space and let the curated collection do the magic. Easy peasy!
Frame it Right:
Choose frames that complement your art pieces. For a cohesive look, stick to one frame style and color.
Feeling eclectic?
Mix and match different frame styles for a unique touch.
Incorporate Items Beyond Art:
Don't limit yourself to traditional artwork.
Add mirrors for a touch of elegance or sculptural elements for added interest.
Your gallery wall is your canvas – get creative!
Selecting the Art:
Build your gallery wall around an anchor piece that speaks to you.
Mix and match items of coordinating color or style to create a visually appealing arrangement.
Remember, your gallery wall should reflect your personal style and story.
Layout Tips:
Lay out your gallery wall on the floor first to experiment with different arrangements.
Stand back and assess the balance and composition.
Once satisfied, transfer your layout onto the wall using brown paper cutouts or tape.
It's all about finding the perfect balance!
Hang with Precision:
Use a level and museum putty to ensure your frames stay in place.
No more tipsy gallery walls – it's all about that perfect presentation!
