    How to create a gallery wall

    7 STEPS

    Want to turn that blank wall into a gorgeous gallery space? Don’t worry — you got this.

    WHAT YOU'LL NEED

    Step

    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.

    Step

    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.

    Step

    Trace each object

    Using craft paper, trace each object to make cut-outs. This will allow you to test out different arrangements on your wall before you hang any of the actual pieces.

    Step

    Test out arrangement using wall cut outs

    Step

    Place largest cut out first

    Start with the biggest cut-out first; hang this in the centre of the wall at eye level.

    Step

    Ensure the pieces are spread out evenly

    Take the next largest pieces and arrange them so that they balance around the centre piece. Be sure to leave an even amount of space between each piece.

    Step

    Fill in remaining spaces with smaller items until you are done
