Turn Large Wall Art into a Gallery Wall

Take your bare walls to the next level with a photo gallery wall. A gallery wall is a collection of different styles of photos and artwork arranged close together in a group. There are no rules to creating a gallery wall in your home or office, you just need to choose what you like. Whether you want a monochromatic theme or pictures in all colors and styles — it’s up to you. Here are some helpful tips to create a gallery wall with large wall art for your space:

Find inspiration: Whether you want to stick to one color palette or create an eclectic gallery wall full of quotes, artwork, and family photos — determine the vibe you want to create with your gallery wall. Consider the room it’s for, too. For example, you might hang pastels or neutral colors in a nursery, but your dining room might feature bolder colors and different styles of wall art like metal prints, canvas prints, acrylic prints, or photo tiles.
Consider the design and placement: Once you have an idea of your photo and artwork collection, you can focus on designing your gallery wall. This is the part where you pair your favorite photographs with materials and textures that reflect your personal style and freshen up your space. Decide if you want your wall art pieces to be the same size or not. Keep in mind that using a variety of sizes for your frames or prints can add more interest to your wall and make your space pop.
Hanging your wall art: The final step is hanging your wall art. Spacing between frames, making sure your wall art is leveled, and marking where to drill holes are all important factors. Hanging your template onto the desired gallery wall area can make this project easier than you imagined. Shutterfly offers an easy template called Design-a-Wall, which helps you visualize how your gallery wall will look. With many different templates to choose from, you can find the perfect arrangement for your wall.
