Gallery Wall HOW TO!
Any large, empty wall space is calling out for a stylish and quirky gallery wall. Whether it's the empty space over your couch, or your bed, or over a desk: a gallery wall can serve as an expression of images that inspire you or surround you with pictures of the ones you love. However, it can be a daunting task to get the spacing and the arrangements just right. That's why we're here today, folks! FEAR THE GALLERY WALL NO MORE! Let's begin by measuring the space on your wall that you want to fill. Tape that space out on your floor, including switch plates or anything extra on the wall that you need to consider. Now, gather all of the frames, special items, posters that you'd like to display in your gallery. (NOTE: If you have items you want to hang but you don't have them in your hot little hands yet, just use tape to represent their dimensions in your arrangement.)
Arrange your items within the taped off space as you'd like to see them displayed on the wall. Once you're thrilled with your arrangement, it's time to hang.
Take the largest or most central piece, the frame or item that anchors the entire arrangement, and hang it on your wall. You already know where to hang it because you were super careful to measure it's position within your taped-off floor gallery. You are so very smart: GO YOU.
Then, measuring, remove a piece at a time from the floor arrangement and hang!
Keep measuring the floor and hanging according to those measurements on the wall. It's a gallery wall. All good things take time. Keep hanging. (If this DIY isn't your jam, just go ahead and contact me and my team will get it done as a part of your design plan.)
Complete making adjustments as needed (it's just a tiny hole, don't stress too much!) When you're happy, level each piece, applying putty in the bottom corners to keep them in place.
Voila! Stylish, gallery wall. And you did it all.by.yourself. You're amazing.
