How do I make my own Gallery Wall?
Step 1 – Choosing your frames and prints
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?
Unsplash is a great source of beautiful photographs, gifted by the world’s most generous community of photographers.
Step 2 – Perfecting your layout
Though it’s tempting to get those frame hooks into the wall, we recommend planning your piece by first laying out the frames on the floor. We recommend leaving a generous gap of approximately 8-10cm between the frames.
Once you are satisfied with your unique configuration, it’s time to start hanging!
Tip: Take a photograph of your frames on the floor
Be sure to take a photograph of your frame configuration, which can be later referred to when hanging.
Step 3 – Hanging your frames
Once you’re happy with the layout of your frames its time to start hanging. We recommend hanging your largest frame first at eye level. Be sure to reference your photograph from Step 2 to avoid making unnecessary holes.
Step 4 – Invite your friends over!
Congratulations, you are now a superstar frame hanger / gallery wall designer. Be warned – your friends will be asking for your help for their gallery wall in 3, 2, …
