Gallery walls are a wonderful way to infuse personality and story into your living space. While large-scale statement pieces can stand alone in their grandeur, there’s something uniquely charming about curating a collection of smaller works of art that create a tapestry of memories and style.

In our home, creating this gallery wall was a labor of love - a mix of treasures from our travels and pieces made by dear friends. Every piece on this wall has its own story, evoking memories of faraway places or cherished moments. It’s amazing how art can transform a room into a sanctuary, sparking joy every time you pass by, and offering a gentle reminder to pause and reflect.

 Adding Depth and Dimension

To add dimension, we mixed frames of various colors and shapes and even included one of my favorite sculptures. This variety creates a layered, dynamic look that effortlessly draws the eye. While there are “rules” about layout - like anchoring the composition with a large piece at the center - we found that following our intuition worked best. Our goal was to find that balance where the display feels intentional but not overwhelming.

We began by laying everything out on the floor exactly as we envisioned, rearranging the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle until we settled on a final layout we loved.

Your Wall, Your Vision

What I’ve learned is this: there’s no right or wrong way to do a gallery wall. It’s about expressing your unique style, your memories, and the art that resonates with you. Whether you’re team gallery wall or prefer the simplicity of a single artwork, the key is to surround yourself with things that make you happy.
