Posters, paintings, photos and other small items skilfully presented on the wall can be a great reflection of our passions and dreams. A properly exposed wall gallery will also be a unique decoration of our apartment. Below we present some suggestions how to arrange it.
A wall gallery is a great solution to complement our interior design – in a cheap and simple way, it allows you to arrange, for example, a wall in the living room or the one at the head of the bed. Its greatest advantage is undoubtedly its uniqueness – thanks to personalization, we can not only create a unique decoration, but also express our artistic preferences. However, it is worth planning such a gallery skilfully to avoid the impression of chaos and randomness.
Eclectic or geometric?
The way of arranging pictures in a home gallery depends only on our fantasy and preferences. If you are a fan of minimalist rooms, better choose frames in a similar style. Arranging them in a geometric order will additionally emphasize the harmonious interior design.
In this case, fans of various arrangements and “creative chaos” can also let their imagination run wild, freely mixing the sizes and arrangement of individual elements. You don’t have to decide on the same frames either. Diversity in this matter can greatly emphasize the eclectic nature of the interior. Therefore, there are no obstacles to hang a picture in a richly decorated frame next to an elegant black frame. However, it is worth setting a general overview of our gallery – for example by relating its dimensions to the width of the sofa, the centre of the wall or other such elements.
Not only pictures
We already know how, so the question is what is worth putting in our gallery. In addition to photos, posters or paintings, it can also contain other decorations – such as small shelves with decorative trinkets, plants or books. If we want to visually enlarge the space, adding a mirror to our decorations will always be a good solution. It is a fashionable trend to introduce spherical shapes into the interior, so maybe it is worth choosing a round one, hung on a rope or chain?
An interesting solution is also “including” in our galleries those elements of the apartment, which on a daily basis play a more practical than decorative role. Thus, for example, a TV or… a door can “blend” into the wall pictures. It is true that displaying paintings is usually associated with the wall above the bed in the bedroom or the sofa in the living room, but nothing stands in the way of locating a bit of art around our door frame. Or maybe we could take it a step further and make the door itself an element of such a gallery? For this purpose, it is enough to, for example, decide to paint them in a distinctive colour, which will also harmonize with the gallery itself. In our door offer you will find not only a wide range of colours, but also products that allow you to choose colours yourself – such as Compact doors.
Any changes you want!
A wall gallery is a great way to express yourself, but also to quickly change the interior design of your apartment. It is enough, for example, to replace black and white photographs with pastel paintings or flowers arranged behind glass to breathe a completely new life into our interior. Or maybe you are inspired by the recently fashionable boho style more than spring arrangements? Easiest thing in the world! Add a dream catcher and a mirror in a characteristic for this style frame made of grass and wicker to your wall gallery, and you will immediately feel the exotic breeze in your four walls.
“Dry” tests
Before you grab the drill and start hanging new paintings, it is good to test in which combination they will look best. Hence, it is worth, for example, arranging them on the floor first, checking various combinations, and when we discover the perfect one – just take a photo that we can later use as a model when creating a gallery on the wall.
It is also worth thinking over the methods of fixing the paintings. Various types of mounting tapes seem to be a simpler solution, as they allow you to avoid cumbersome drilling and, above all, holes in the walls (which can be especially important in case of renting an apartment). With such assembly, however, it must be borne in mind that attaching the frames to the wall makes it impossible to remove the paintings from the walls to replace our gallery. So, if we like to change the decor often, nails and hooks may be a more practical solution.
