Create your own Gallery Wall

Do you want to update your home without having to pick up that paint brush? Creating a gallery wall is a simple way to bring style and personality to any room.

We’ll show you how with just a hammer, frame hooks and a collection of your favourite prints and photographs, your living room, bedroom, staircase or hallway can be transformed.

How do I make my own Gallery Wall?

The only rule when it comes to selecting the right prints for your frames, is to let your creativity shine! We recommend using a combination of photographs and prints in different style frames, including both size and colour, to make your gallery wall stand out.

Tip: Unsure where to source photographs?

Tip: Take a photograph of your frames on the floor
