Create The Perfect Gallery Wall: (5 Tips To Do It Right).

May 2021
How to create the perfect gallery wall 1

Gallery walls are a great, personal way to decorate your home. They bring together all of your favorite art and photos into one cohesive style. The secret to creating beautiful gallery walls is simple: Get someone else to do it! No, we’re joking. With the following tips, you can easily create a fantastic-looking statement wall in any room. With so much personality in one place, your gallery walls are sure to be a focal point! Read on to learn how to make a picture wall and which pieces will help make it stand out.

STEP 1: Pick your theme

Start by choosing a theme for your gallery wall to tie everything together. This would set the general look-and-feel for your wall. Sounds complicated? Lou made it super easy for you with pre-curated gallery combinations [LINK] in a variety of style. For the free spirits out there, don’t worry: You can also create your very own style mix easily.

STEP 2: Get griddy

We'll offer you different layouts to choose from – though feel free to go off the grid (??) if you want things a little more personalized. These will help you preplan how to hang your art, and ensure it’ll look great on your wall. Decide if you want to go for one large statement piece or combine smaller sized prints for a mixed-and-matched look. Think about the space you have available - it's always good practice not only consider how large of an area is needed but also what kind of layout fits best with other decor pieces around them.

STEP 3: Make sure it's removable (and yes, quality matters)

Time to pick your gallery wall art! You'll find a great selection of styles, from colorful abstracts to toned down typographical posters and black and white photographs. There are endless options to choose from, and if you feel bold, you can also mix styles together to create a super-unique look. Don't be afraid to experiment: this eclectic space should be all about you and your style.

STEP 4: Choose the finishing touches

You want your pieces on canvas? Framed? As posters? Really, it`s up to you. Showcase your one-of-a-kind wall with finishing that expresses your individual taste. Use different types of frames to create depth on an otherwise flat wall surface. We want your wall to keep looking great, which Is why all finishes and frames are museum-quality and made to last from the finest materials.
