If your concern has been that putting together an amazing gallery wall is a touch too challenging for you, we at Artflute want to show you otherwise. This handy guide will help you design a gallery wall that makes a style statement and that you love enjoying in your home.
Tips to get started
To start off, there are some questions to consider. What is the space you are looking at to create the gallery wall. It can be the wall along a stairway, it can be the space above a sofa or even the corner of a room. Choose a place that you like and then begin choosing artworks— both originals and prints, souvenirs from your memorable travels suchs as masks, street art and decorative plates, and your favourite photos and more. The wall or the space you have chosen for the gallery wall will itself determine the type of art and objects you can hang on it. To begin designing a gallery wall, it is important to consider the various artworks, their dimensions, how they will be framed, the wall they will be hung on and the rest of the decor in that room.
Gallery Walls above the Sofa
For a more relaxed look, you can arrange your artworks in a square or rectangle keeping them aligned either along the centre or top or bottom. This can appear ordered without being too formal. This arrangement would look great above a sofa, making for a beautiful vignette.
For a Stairway
If you’re planning a gallery wall along a stairway, an uneven pattern can make it eye-catching. The group of artworks you choose an also be hung in a stair-stepped fashion. Varying the spacing makes for an interesting look. Bold, minimalist artworks or psychedelic graphic prints are great choices for a space such as this. You can choose your artworks to tell a story to Bina Parmar’s minimalist works.
For the living room
When it comes to the living room, choose artworks in various sizes but frame them using the same material. The frames can bring together a gallery of widely varying sizes of art and make the wall look spectacular. The theme in this case of the artworks need not be similar and covering a wall from floor to ceiling can easily make this room a favourite with your guests.
A Unique Arrangement: On Shelves
A narrow shelf is a great way to showcase an assortment of artworks. Choose varying sizes of matt white frames, and frame your artworks with enough white space to keep your art shelf interesting.
Final tips to keep in mind
Don’t hesitate to mix your original artworks with art prints, souvenirs, your favourite vintage postcards or even art in various media. Mixing mediums, color with black and white, and high and low art could add a magnetic touch to your wall’s multi-dimensionality.
