How to Create a Gallery Wall

Gallery walls are one of the most powerful ways to transform a room. They turn blank walls into curated spaces full of personality, colour, and texture. Whether you’re decorating a living room, bedroom, or hallway, a gallery wall can make your interior feel polished and intentional.

Here’s how to create a gallery wall that feels effortless, cohesive, and uniquely yours.

Choose Your Art & Theme

Start by considering the story your wall will tell. Gallery walls work best when there’s a theme or common thread:

• Colour Palette: Stick to 2–3 complementary tones to unify different pieces.

• Subject Matter: Consider botanical prints, abstract shapes, travel photos, or minimalist line drawings.

• Material & Texture: Our plywood prints automatically add natural texture and warmth, helping different framed pieces feel cohesive.

Pro tip: Don’t be afraid to mix sizes and shapes. A combination of small, medium, and large prints creates a dynamic, layered effect.

Decide on the Layout

There are several ways to arrange your gallery wall:

• Grid Layout: Structured and clean, with pieces lined up neatly. Ideal for minimalistic or modern interiors.

• Salon Style: An eclectic, asymmetrical arrangement for a more casual, artistic vibe.

• Linear Row: Perfect for narrow walls or above furniture such as sofas and console tables.

Tip: Lay your art out on the floor first to experiment with spacing before committing to the wall.

Spacing & Placement

• Keep consistent spacing - generally 5-10cm between pieces.

• Eye level is usually the most comfortable, but for walls with multiple pieces, the centre of your arrangement should align roughly with eye level.

• Consider the furniture below: Your gallery wall should complement rather than compete with sofas, beds, or consoles.

Mix & Match Frames and Mediums

One of the joys of a gallery wall is mixing textures, materials, and mediums:

• Combine our plywood prints with canvases and/or framed pieces. Due to our wood texture, they automatically complement any wooden frames you choose.
  

• Try sourcing frames from charity shops - you're guaranteed to find something unique!

Personalise Your Gallery Wall

Finally, don’t forget the personal touches. Include family photos, travel souvenirs, your own illustrations or heirlooms.
