the
key to making your interior perfectly personalized begins with a blank wall.
from there, the decisions are up to you. creating your own gallery wall can be
one of the best representations of your personal style. having a gallery wall
brings a sense of excitement into the space and allows your guests to get an
immediate impression for your likes. the feature can add texture to the
space making the room pop amongst your overall interior.
the
first step is to determine your individual aesthetic. begin by establishing the
type of layout you wish to visualize. whether that be random, a grid, matching
or varied artwork and/or frames or incorporating in alternative pieces, the
decisions are up to you. try to select each article based upon what feel best
expresses yourself.
when
it comes to selecting your artwork, the fundamental base of the wall lies in
selecting a large centerpiece to begin with. by starting with a piece to build
off of, you can set a foundation to anchor your pieces around. having only
small frames makes the wall look disorganized and cluttered, thus beginning
with a big piece brings the attention outward, conveying various shapes, sizes
and colors.
additionally,
the best way to assure that you will be pleased with your “gallery look” is to
lay the pieces you wish to include on the floor prior to hanging. doing so
allows you to visualize the wall display and get a sense for the distances you
wish to have between each piece. this also lets you coordinate your pieces to
see which complement each other best, whether that be based on subject, color
or size.
alternatively,
if you chose not to have exclusively art on display, there are several items
you can also feature on your wall, these include:
taxidermy, hats, sculptures,
mirrors, clocks, tapestry weavings, banners, garland and plates.
ultimately,
the possibilities are endless when designing a gallery wall. the decisions are
yours, so chose well.
