How To Create The Perfect Gallery Wall Layout For Your Home
Why Do I Need A Gallery Wall?
Decorating your home with a gallery wall is a great way to add personality and style to your space. But creating a gallery wall can be a daunting task. With so many frames and pieces of art to choose from, it's easy to get overwhelmed. That's why we've put together a guide to help you create the perfect gallery wall set for your home.
The talented designers at Nook At You have also created a ton of pre-made gallery wall sets. This can help you get inspired for your own gallery wall!
Start with a Plan
Before you start hanging art, create a plan for your gallery wall. Decide on a theme, color scheme, and layout. A great way to get a visual idea for your gallery wall is by using paper cutouts to create a mock-up of the wall and experiment with different arrangements.
Choose your art
Select art that fits your theme and color scheme. Mix and match different styles and sizes to create visual interest. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles and sizes to create visual interest.
You can use framed art, canvas prints, posters, or even objects like mirrors or decorative plates look great in a eclectic Gallery Wall.
Pro Tip - Using personal photos in a gallery wall can add a touch of sentimentality and personality to your home decor
Use a Variety of Frame Sizes
When incorporating photos into your gallery wall, it's important to use a variety of frame sizes. This can help create a balanced display and allow your wall art and photos to stand out in their own unique way. Mixing and matching different frame sizes can also add depth and texture to your gallery wall, making it more eye-catching and engaging for visitors
Vary the Orientation For Your Gallery Wall
To create a balanced and visually interesting gallery wall, it's important to vary the orientation of your frames. Mix horizontal and vertical frames, and consider incorporating some square frames as well.
Play with Placement
Once you have your art, start playing with placement. You can create a grid layout, a salon-style layout, or a free-form layout. Experiment with different spacing between the frames and try to balance the overall composition.

Hang it up & Add Those Final Touches
Once you have your layout, it's time to hang up your art. Use a spirit level to ensure that your frames are straight, and use picture-hanging hardware that can support the weight of your frames. If you purchase your art framed from Nook At You we provide heavy duty hooks at the back of our frames so you would only need to add nails to your walls.
Once your gallery wall is up, you can add finishing touches like decorative objects or plants to tie the whole look together.
VOILA! Your very own gallery wall for your favourite Nook!
