The only underlying theme of my wall is that all the frames are wood or a wood-like material and there are gold accents sprinkled throughout the wall. |
At first, I started with only 2 pictures, but the 2 pictures quickly grew to 2 rows:
As you can tell from the picture above, I moved the monogram from the first row to the third so that it would fit better. One of the reasons why I've been so comfortable with this laid-back way of assembling a gallery wall is because I've been using Command Strips. If I'm not happy with the way a frame is positioned, I can easily and quickly move it without leaving a hole in my wall.
I definitely want to add a couple more frames below the clock and maybe a whole new row? I'll stop adding frames when I feel like the wall is complete. For now, I love how my gallery wall is coming along. The gallery wall makes a statement and is a conversation starter since it's the first wall my guests see when they come into my home. I also like how the gallery wall adds height to my living room by drawing your eyes up towards the ceiling.
Here are some of my tips for assembling a gallery wall (the slow way):
- Use Command Strips
- Try to stay in a general layout (No matter how many frames I add to my gallery wall, I've been able to achieve the finished or almost finished look by staying within the general outlines of a rectangle)
- Choose pictures and items that you love!
- Use a level
What do you think about gallery walls? If you've assembled one I would definitely like to take a peak!
