7 STEPS

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

STEP 1

Use common visuals

When choosing items for a gallery wall, use some common visual elements to unify the look of your display. This could include repeating a motif or colour in the artwork. Or use the same type of frames to tie it all together.

Pick the right hardware

Choosing the right hardware will ensure success. Consider the material of the wall, as well as the type and weight of the objects you are hanging.
