Gallery walls are certainly not new things in the design world, but if you have yet to try out this simple DIY decor idea, now might be just the time. Spice up any bare wall in your home at 95twenty using these inspirational tips for curating and designing a gallery wall that even the pros would admire.
- Decide on a shape. First, think of what type of shape you’re going for. Are you looking for something structured and symmetrical that uses frames in all the same sizes, or something wild and eclectic filled with mix-and-matched frames?
- Choose the frames. Visit your local thrift store to pick up a variety of frames in all shapes and sizes to create an artistic gallery wall. If you’re going for a more structured style, visit a craft store and hunt for bargains on frames in the same styles and sizes.
- Create your own art prints. Get creative with the prints that will go inside the frames. Print out your own Instagram photos, change old family photos to black and white for an antique look, or simply cut out images that you love from vintage art books.
- Create a map. Finally, map out the shape of your gallery wall using painter’s tape before hanging the frames themselves. Once you find the perfect shape, hang them using a device that’s easy to remove.
