Who doesn’t love a great gallery wall….I know I do.

I have to admit, before I attempted my first gallery wall in my home, I thought it was a daunting ordeal. Precision, matching frames, guidelines, theme…….. which is not at all how I typically like to approach a decorating project. Stress before you even get started.
So without a lot of thought and planning and throwing the rules out the window, I began sticking frames filled with my children’s art, pictures and things that really matter to my family randomly on the wall.
 

Hang things that matter

Personalize your wall

Another example of a easy gallery wall idea that is more personal is the gallery wall in my home office. The silver frames bring a more cohesive look to the various sized pictures of my family. I chose silver frames so it wouldn’t compete with the print of my wallpaper.

Choose a theme

My entry way is an example of a gallery wall that is more precise with a specific theme. Here, I took the same sized frame and used prints from a botanical book. The exact spaced frames give the illusion of one big art piece. Since I approach this gallery wall thing with not a lot of rules or prep work, I do have more nail holes then I care to count in the wall.

   I say when it comes to creating easy gallery walls, hang what you like and try not to follow too many of the rules that you see around gallery walls. Create your own. You’ll be surprised how amazing your wall can look.

Speaking of amazing, I am joining up with my monthly challenge pals who are sharing some gallery wall tips of their own.

  5. Love them all, Laura! The botanicals are so pretty, but the kid's artwork makes me smile! Love that you have made room for both! 🙂

  7. Thanks for the tips, Laura—I love all of your themed walls, each has it's own personality and fits the space so well. I love the kids colorful paintings! Going back already? It seems to get earlier and earlier each year!

    Have a great last day with them!

  10. I must admit that I've never had a gallery wall before. I've stacked matching pictures but that's about it. It certainly is a great way to make a statement in a room! I like your kids artwork hung together.

  11. Your gallery walls are beautiful Laura! That wallpaper is amazing. I adore it and the dresser! And I LOVE the botanical print gallery wall. Looks like something out of a magazine….just gorgeous!

  12. I was scared to do a gallery wall after I saw photos of our first home and the willy nilly way I hung things on the wall. You've maybe taught me a thing or two since that time.
