Gallery Walls are near and dear to my heart. I love how creative people can get with them, and it’s completely true that the possibilities are endless.
Our apartment is the typical beige on beige with white walls, so our gallery wall really adds to the living room decor.
The pieces are a bit more neutral as our living room is a eclectic, boho style with more neutral pieces and pops of color in rugs and pillows. I tried to choose neutral, but eye catching pieces for the wall to keep that range.
Here it is all together:
I’m sure you’re wondering where the pieces came from, here’s the breakdown…
Hobby Lobby:
Arrow Painting
Steer Skull
Feathers
Wooden Arrow
“M” Initial
Target:
White Stag Head
The LOVE letters were from my Bridal Shower, wooden and simple painted gold
The wooden board with one of my favorite sayings was a gift from a dear friend
Here are some of my tips to create a great gallery wall:
- Lay it Out
We’ve all been there when you just start putting things up and you step back and it looks like your 5 year old kid just told you where to put it all. Lay out all your pieces exactly how you’ll want them on the wall.
2. Tape it out
Next, take the time to measure things out on the floor and use painters tape to tape where each thing goes on the wall. I promise you won’t regret taking the time to do this
3. Choose Your Accents
You can see that the stag head and steer skull stick out there in the middle, that’s because they’re my favorite of all the pieces. I wanted to center everything around those two and work out from there. Since they’re smaller I put the larger pieces in the corners to pull the eye outwards then
