I have never really liked plain walls. Somehow, they make my room and living space look more like a dormitory. Recently, I came up with the idea of decorating my walls, especially with a gallery wall, but with so many options available, I just cannot decide what to go for. Should I choose one big artwork or multiple portraits? If you are also looking to style your gallery wall but can’t decide what to choose, here’s what you can add without overcrowding the space.
What to consider: Check the artwork’s dimensions, frame finish, orientation and hanging requirements before buying. A gallery wall is an excellent choice for displaying multiple prints, photographs, or illustrations. Rather than relying on a single large piece, you can create a composition with frames of various sizes and orientations. You can keep the arrangement cohesive by selecting a common theme, such as botanical art, travel photographs, abstract prints, or black-and-white images. Alternatively, use frames with similar finishes to bring together artwork of various colours and styles. If you want your home to feel more personal, combine artwork with photographs from trips, memorable occasions, or everyday moments. This approach gives the wall a collected look rather than making it feel like a display of prints bought all at once. For a cohesive arrangement, use black-and-white photographs, choose frames in two or three complementary finishes, or mix personal pictures with illustrations in a similar colour palette. This idea works well in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms, particularly where you want the decor to reflect your interests and experiences. If you find it hard to mix different styles of artwork, picking a theme can make it easier. Botanical prints, architectural sketches, abstract art, landscapes, and travel photos are some ideas to try. A theme doesn’t mean every piece has to look the same. You can mix different sizes and styles while keeping a link through the subject, colour scheme, or frame style. For example, botanical illustrations can go well with natural wood frames and some green touches in the room. Travel photos can be shown with maps or architectural prints, while abstract art can match colours already in the furniture and soft furnishings.
