How to Create a Gallery Wall

Make a plan: Lay your gallery on the floor before you start hanging.
Choose your style.
Choose your location and layout.
Make it personal: Add in art or favorite objects/mementos. (For example, I hung my son’s “beads of courage” on our gallery wall. these beads are significant and important to my son’s healing journey and I love seeing them everyday. Framebridge will also frame objects and moments too if you’d prefer a more polished look.

Where should I put my gallery wall?

Where could the sight of some of your favorite places, faces, and experiences create the stop-you-in-your-tracks kind of joy? Those are just the kind of spots we recommend setting up your gallery wall. Think of rooms in your home with a good amount of blank space on the wall. Also, consider where you spend a lot of your time either in passing or in rest.

What style fits my space best?

Think through your layout and choose your style. After you decide on those, make your selection of frames and get ready to begin.

To measure or not to measure?

Feel free to forgo the tape measurer entirely, but for all you type A's out there, here we go... Measure your wall and mark the same amount of space out on the floor with painter's tape. There you can arrange your frames within the outline on the floor, moving the pieces around until you find the look you love. Most recommend starting with the largest piece first and working out from there. Take note of the amount of space between frames with your tape measure.

You can then label a few pieces of tape for each frame, and recreate the look with the tape pieces as markers on your wall.

Now you're ready to put your hammer and nails to work and hang the frames! Say hello to your new favorite wall in your home.
