I mean who wouldn\u2019t be? They are a great way to display <em>all<\/em> your favorite photos in one place, (well, maybe not <em>all <\/em>your favorites, but you get the picture!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you are looking for a new home decor project and ready to transform an empty wall in your space, look no further! We\u2019ve got you covered with 5 tips to create an eye-catching, artistic, and awesome gallery wall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-find-your-gallery-wall-theme\">1. Find Your Gallery Wall Theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Veronica_Le_@lovenikkile_001.jpg\" alt=\"Gallery wall of family photos \" class=\"wp-image-11256\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Veronica_Le_@lovenikkile_001.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Veronica_Le_@lovenikkile_001-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Veronica_Le_@lovenikkile_001-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step you will need to take is to find your theme. Family photos, travel destinations, furry friends, and original artwork are always great options. Think about what is most important to you and what deserves this grand display in your home.&nbsp; You probably won\u2019t have to think too hard, because you most likely already know the answer to this. All those pictures of your growing family, your obsession with vintage movie posters, or your collection of black and white photography make the perfect <strong>gallery wall theme.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, since this is your home, there are no real rules! You can add a little bit of chaos and mix up your gallery wall. A theme doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be exactly the same; instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/mixing-and-matching-frame-styles-for-that-ultimate-gallery-wall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mix and match<\/a> photos, wall art, and frame styles to create a beautiful madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-look-for-inspiration\">2.

If you do, consider yourself lucky. Less work for you. But if you don\u2019t, don\u2019t fret. A gallery wall often takes careful planning (<em>or what we call trial and error.)<\/em> But before you purchase your frames, try different arrangements until it works for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be as simple as drawing it out on a piece of paper. It\u2019s not precise, but it can get you started in the process. Using painter\u2019s tape or craft paper to try multiple layouts is a great way to see what your wall will look like before you commit and start making holes in the wall. A gallery wall takes a bit more planning than hanging a single frame, but it will be well worth the added effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not familiar with gallery walls, there are tons of different layouts that give off a different <em>vibe <\/em>but are equally impactful: asymmetrical, grid style, layered, and more! Take an in-depth look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/gallery-wall-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different arrangements<\/a> you can try for your gallery wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-add-other-decor-pieces-to-your-gallery-wall\">4. Add Other Decor Pieces to Your Gallery Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Aubrey_Westmoreland_@modish.life_002.jpg\" alt=\"Neutral gallery wall \" class=\"wp-image-11253\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Aubrey_Westmoreland_@modish.life_002.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Aubrey_Westmoreland_@modish.life_002-700x875.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Aubrey_Westmoreland_@modish.life_002-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, since we are a framing company, we are fans of <em>frames, <\/em>but a gallery wall doesn\u2019t need to be <em>only<\/em> picture frames. Add some other decor pieces such as typography, mirrors, shelves, clocks, or any of your favorite things. This is a great way to spice up your gallery wall, plus you can switch up the decor depending on the season, holiday, occasion, or even just your mood!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallery walls are a great way to show off your personality, so have fun with it and do whatever works for your space. Get creative and see where it leads you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5-let-it-grow\">5. Let It Grow <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2_Andrea-Teggart_@luckyandi_005.jpg\" alt=\"Gallery wall above couch \" class=\"wp-image-11250\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2_Andrea-Teggart_@luckyandi_005.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2_Andrea-Teggart_@luckyandi_005-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2_Andrea-Teggart_@luckyandi_005-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because you\u2019re ready to start your gallery wall now doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it needs to be finished right away. Baby steps here, too! Envision a layout that you love that leaves room for more pieces if you decide to add them later on. You can start with one piece (centered, of course) and build off of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life and your interests are constantly changing and your gallery wall can reflect that change! Adding or changing up pieces in your gallery wall can make it feel brand new with every addition or change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Christyann_Parisi_@thefarmhousepamperedchef_001.jpg\" alt=\"4x2 gallery wall \" class=\"wp-image-11254\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Christyann_Parisi_@thefarmhousepamperedchef_001.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Christyann_Parisi_@thefarmhousepamperedchef_001-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Christyann_Parisi_@thefarmhousepamperedchef_001-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand that creating a gallery wall for your home can be a daunting task, but we hope with these tips you feel more confident to take on the challenge!
