How to create a gallery wall
Creating a gallery wall is about finding a balance between personality, colour and form. Here are some simple steps to help you along the way:
1. Start with your favorite designs
Choose a few designs that you really like, they will become the foundation of your picture wall and act as key images from which to build out the rest of the collection.
2. Find a common thread
Try to find something that connects the designs, it can be a colour, a style or a feeling. Designs that complement each other create harmony and make the whole gallery wall feel more more considered.
3. Highlight the colours
If you want a certain colour to dominate, let it reappear in a few of the designs. This gives a unified impression without feeling monotonous.
4. Break up with contrast
Dare to add something unexpected! A contrasting color or a motif that stands out can give the wall more life and character.
5. Create balance in the composition
When building a larger wall of art, you can divide the designs into 2-4 categories. For example, nature art, abstract art or graphic prints. Spread the categories so that they balance each other visually.
6. Go with the flow
Most importantly, choose art that you love and that reflects what you want to convey in the room. Do you want to create calm, energy or inspiration? Let the art tell the story.
