Creating a gallery wall doesn't have to break the bank. You can hang a mix of pictures of family and places you've visited. Mixing up different types of photos makes the room look more cohesive and purposeful. A gallery wall can also showcase an exceptional painting or photo.
You can place a gallery wall anywhere in the house. It looks great in hallways and stairways. You can create a theme based on what you are displaying. For example, a funky food theme would work in the dining room, while a character or book theme would look great in a child's room. Another great spot for a gallery wall is around the TV area, which is one of the most frequently used areas in the house.

Before placing your frames on the wall, it's best to measure the space where you'll be placing them. Then, transfer the pieces to the wall. If you're particularly dedicated, you can use a measuring tape. If you're impatient, however, you can wing it and use a paper template. You can even nail it into the wall. However, be sure to keep in mind that the template will tear apart around the nails, so keep that in mind when transferring your pieces.
Another way to save money on a gallery wall is to go frameless. Although you can buy inexpensive frames, they can quickly add up. A gallery wall without frames can still look very chic. You can use quirky elements to add character and make it look unique. You can also use a variety of different wall lights.
You can also buy original art pieces from local thrift stores or flea markets. They can be very inexpensive and still have a unique look to your space. Don't forget to replace them often as they wear out. If you can't afford to buy original art, consider buying prints instead. This way, you'll be supporting an artist you love.

Before starting to choose artwork and frames, make sure that you've established the overall design and theme of your wall. Then, you can begin selecting sizes and placements. Remember to think about the frames for each piece. A good frame can add to the display but should not distract from the artwork.
Gallery walls are a great way to show off your favorite artwork and family photos. They can also act as conversation starters and add continuity throughout a home. There are a variety of ways to create a gallery wall, and you can incorporate different materials to create the perfect look. Some homeowners choose to paint the wall before hanging their artwork, while others opt to hang their pieces directly on the wall.
Another affordable option is a floating shelf. This versatile wall accent is cheap, easy to set up, and can be a great base for an art display. It can also be used as a storage space and can be dressed up with accessories or photographs.
