If you have more artwork or photographs than wall space in your home or office, you want to make great use of the walls that you have. A clever way to do this is to create a gallery wall featuring your favourite artwork or photos, while giving your space a unique touch.

Colour-Coordinated Images

The way to start creating a perfect gallery wall is by choosing a colour-coordinated theme for the images. If you’d like a more classic or vintage look, use black and white photos in your layout. You can also opt for a monochromatic theme with several shades of the same colour on your wall

Complementary Frames

Another way to create a cohesive look for a gallery wall is through the use of complementary frames. Similar frame sizes, colours, or textures can help tie disparate elements together. We can help you at the gallery to create perfect picture frames to complement your theme and can advise you on creative designs to achieve your desired look.

Create a Layout

Before you hang your artwork or photographs, organize your gallery wall layout by measuring the space where you want to hang your works, then re-create those dimensions on the floor with tape. Next, place your framed works on the floor within the taped outline. Arrange them in different configurations, playing with the placement to create a balanced layout. Be sure to consider colour and the balance of negative space in your layout. Once you have a layout that is aesthetically pleasing, take a picture for reference and use the measurements from your arrangement on the floor to help you determine where to place the picture hooks or nails.
