Ways to Hang an Art Gallery Wall

Are you looking to transform a large empty wall in your home into a captivating focal point? Consider creating a gallery wall with original artworks. Whether you choose to display your pieces in a cluster or row, showcasing multiple small works can make a big impact on the overall look and feel of the space.

What is a Gallery Wall?

A gallery wall is a curated display of artwork, photographs, or other decorative items arranged in a cohesive manner on a wall. It allows you to showcase your personal style and interests while adding visual interest to a room.

Cluster or Row: Which Layout is Right for You?

When creating a gallery wall you have the option to arrange the pieces in a cluster or a row. A cluster layout involves grouping the artworks closely together, creating a more eclectic and dynamic look. On the other hand, a row layout features the artworks lined up in a straight line, offering a more structured and organized appearance. I personally love using a horizontal row for a hallway, a vertical layout near tall furniture like bookcases, and a cluster when I want the art to take up more space, like part of a small living room decor. 

Displaying Original Artworks and Art Series

Original artworks add a unique and personal touch to your gallery wall. Consider incorporating pieces from the same artist or art series to create a cohesive and harmonious display. This can help tie the individual artworks together and create a unified look. As an added bonus, you can try painting the wall you are displaying these on a contrasting color to make the work pop more. 

Taking Up a Larger Space

Displaying multiple small works on a gallery wall is a great way to take up a larger space and make a statement. By carefully arranging the artworks and paying attention to spacing and alignment, you can create a visually striking display that enhances the overall aesthetic of the room.

Whether you opt for a cluster or row layout, showcasing original artworks on a gallery wall is a creative way to personalize your space and showcase your unique style. Experiment with different arrangements and compositions to find the perfect look for your home.
