DESIGNING YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE

Ever wanted to create a focal wall or a gallery in your home? Creating a gallery is fun, creative and showcases your personal items in a unique way. The nice thing is a gallery can work in any room or hallway. It’s a great way to make a statement as it brings style and personality to a space.

The best way to start is to collect all the pieces you wish to puzzle together on the wall and lay it out on the floor. It is essential to have 2-4 focal points depending on the size of your wall to establish your anchor points on the gallery.

Here are some helpful ways you can layout a gallery wall.

A more modern way of doing a gallery wall is the layer items on a thin shelf mounted or picture ledge on the wall and incorporate other small objects along with your photos.

From there, the next step would be measuring the wall you want to work on. A decorators tip is to tape out the area on the wall with painters tape that you want to fill. The best way to see the placement is to place the frames arranged on the floor before placing them on the wall.

Here you can start to place all the frames inside the taped area and makes the necessary adjustments to make everything look balanced. If you don’t want to know hang the photos up with a hammer and nail, there are great alternatives now that don’t harm your wall. Down below under the ‘useful links’, I’ve linked the best adhesive tabs that you can easily purchase off of Amazon to securely hang your photos.

Another nice thing about creating your own gallery wall is you can have fun with the choices of fames you choose. You can keep them all uniform or you can have fun with all different types of frames or even antique frames mixed with modern ones. The photos can be all colour or in black in white. The choice is all yours.

If you decide to do the more modern way which is layering items on a picture ledge, there are so many great ways to incorporate interesting decor along with your photos as well as the placement.

Want to create an even bigger statement? Using larger prints across a wall packs personality and is a perfect fit for a bold and unique look. For added ambiance, lighting can be installed just above the frames to highlight each one.
