In this video, I go over my do's and don'ts of gallery walls! Gallery walls can be very tricky because on one hand they can look overcrowded, messy, busy and a hot mess, on the other hand they can look bare, disjointed from the space and confusing. So in the video I give you the do's and don'ts so you can design a beautiful gallery wall.

I've learnt that I'm very sentimental with items in my home and i like to have a connection or a story connected. Gallery walls of generic or art thats just up to fill a space doesn't speak to me at all. I'd rather an empty wall before a crowded wall of stuff. To me, it another extension of comodification.

I've been searching for a house online, and it seems to be popular now to actually stencil word art all over the walls of your house. At odd heights. With cringe-worthy sayings. I always think "that's gonna take a few coats of primer to cover it up". Ugh.

Thanks for this informative video. One more tip... When placing all the paper cutouts on the wall to visualize all the art, carefully measure where the hanging hardware will go first, and nail them into the wall through the papers. That way you can tear off the papers and hang the art in the exact space the first time, without making additional holes, and messing up your wall. 🤔🤗

Nick, I am a professional carpenter that has had many occasions now to hang pictures for clients. Of course the technical skills of aligning many objects of differing dimensions according to eye level or sometimes top or bottom alignment of frames is within my skillset. What I appreciated so much about your video is on the composition of walls which is purely aesthetic and artistic. Many clients don't know how to express their ideas and may need help with their composition which can be very personal and subjective. As I said, I am a technical person and sometimes this creates a disconnect between what the clients want and what information I need to implement their vision. Your video gave me many tools and discussion points to bring up with potential clients in order to satisfy their gallery wall desires. Thank you for your exceptionally well-spoken and detailed presentation.

But the photographs are so striking and beautiful. Way to go

My favorite gallery wall belongs to my SiL.. its a mix of cross stitch, needle point, and embroidery pieces she thrifted from barn sales and yard sales over the years with a few pieces mixed in made by my mom back in the 70s, and some skulls. It's super eclectic, but it works! I'm currently curating a gallery wall of my own that will be all art made by myself or family & friends. It'll be on the wall in my office so the whole point is about it being what brings me joy, a sense of calm, and makes me feel loved. Oh! Another favorite gallery wall of mine is at my extended family's cabin. It was built in the 1800s and every generation of the 3 families who have owned the property have added to it. The cabin is remote and its hard and expensive to bring new stuff/update stuff... so the cabin has items that belonged to the original family that built it and every generation/family since including things like life jackets, kitchenware, bed linens, furniture, board games & puzzles, etc but my favorite is most definitely the family picture gallery wall in the upstairs hallway. All of them are dated with and labeled with who is in the photo. It's a time capsule for the property. My extended family had the place corn blasted and the logs resealed to restore the place, but they put the gallery wall back, exactly as it was and have only added to it. The cabin will be passed to their boys and eventually their grandchildren so I imagine the gallery wall is safe for another 100yrs at least.

The problem is that a lof of your interior design depends on your funds. You can be super rich and have no taste, sure. But if you do have a taste, it's so much easier to create sth beauthiful with a lot of money. I'm also proud of my new space, but in some places I had to go for a compromise. E.g. if I wanted to spend more, I would have the kitchen, hallway furniture and wardrobes custom-made. It would definitely look better. Why I'm saying that is: although I love your idea, I think it can be difficult to deliver value with such an assessment without knowing what funds/ stores sb has access to.

Great tips, thank you! I completely agree about not using generic art.

And the wall makes me happy when I look at it because I love every piece and I know I supported independent artists in the process.

@punkitten2456
@punkitten2456 2 года назад
I love framed album covers. I did this in one of my children’s rooms. My mom sent me old kids albums I loved from my childhood. They were well worn and scratched so not the best for actually playing. I purchased simple frames from Ikea and hung them up. Not only do all of my kids absolutely love them, they make me smile every time I see them. Vintage albums in simple frames make symmetry a breeze. We have other albums up as well in other areas. Most signed by the artist. As music lovers it works perfectly for us mixed with unique pieces of art and photography. I take forever to decorate but it’s only because I want to make it personal and unique to our family. Plus I always have the internal battle between wanting symmetry with wanting something more eclectic. I have been planning out a gallery wall for family photographs and I am so grateful Nick released this video. I was hoping he would toss a bit of his knowledge our way. I know what I want but I also know how easy it is to mess it up. His advice was so helpful. I finally feel like I can proceed.

The first time I did a gallery wall, I found it useful to start with a large imaginary rectangle and hang everything within it. The tops of the frames are in line, continue down the sides, then get to arranging the space between items. I don’t strictly adhere to that, but it was a good place to start. Before I stumbled upon that tip, nothing was getting hung!
@jeanvignes
@jeanvignes 2 года назад
I think your comments about MOOD of the space is super important. Let's be brutally frank for a minute: if your gallery wall is 12 photographs of your most beloved family members who have died? The mood is not going to be right for a cheerful yellow breakfast nook! If a young person in your family has disclosed to you that Grandpa Sylvester abused her as a child? Don't expect her to sleep in a guest bedroom with a gallery wall that heavily features Grandpa Sylvester! I love the idea of paintings, framed art prints, mirrors, and small shelves of objets d'art on a gallery wall, but family photos can be tricky. Think it through!

Here's one tip I once read about gallery walls that I thought was very useful and that I successfully implemented myself, back when I had wall space for this kind of things: using lines and their intersections to organise the different elements of the gallery. You can for example make a cross with a long vertical line and a long horizontal one where the intersection is the centre of the gallery wall and every element is placed from the centre to the borders in the 4 spaces that the lines have created. Or have that centre of "gravity" be a top corner of the wall (which I did and it looked surprisingly great without much effort). Or have one long horizontal line at the top of wall and the elements go downwards from there. And so on. Thinking of it in terms of lines / centres of gravity makes the whole process easier and helps keep a good balance.

We have a fairly small, but well lit corridor upstairs going from bathroom to master bed and kids' room. Nothing in it, but wood flooring and white walls, so I painted a light grey rectangle on one of walls (painted about 30 cm from bottom, ceiling and sides) and within it I placed different sized white frames with my kids' drawings. It came together nicely, had designated area, made my kids proud to have their work displayed and puts a smile on my face as I walk past. It is not a gallery wall for guests, but for us.

I think you have to ask yourself "what story does this wall tell?" A bunch of squiggly lines framed on a wall in the latest trendy color might look really professional and grown-up but it says nothing. Sure, those individual pieces might be really artsy but then they would be better on their own, spread around the house. It's much more meaningful if the wall tells the story or the interests of the inhabitant's life. Pictures of all the places you went to, maybe a sunset wall with sunsets of all the places you traveled to, your own art if that's something you make, pictures of all the dogs you've had, pictures of your kids growing up, or all the crazy adventures you have been on. A lot of the gallery walls you see in retail catalogs or Pinterest look good in terms of colors and design but if you copy that at home, it's going to make your life seem empty.

A person that is confident in what they advise does not need to mince words. Besides all of that you are very handsome. Thank you.

Love the way Nick illustrates the point he's making as in a visual clue - this is good; this, not so much ✅❌ It's really helpful. I personally am so over a gallery wall, I find them too busy and do you really look at each item properly ever? In lots of cases, I think choose one, maybe two items, place them beautifully to relate to a piece of furniture or the layout of the room and it will have much more impact. Less is more sometimes, right? And Nick's point about make it personal is key.

This is so timely and helpful! I am curating family photos for a gallery wall and never thought about texture. I will now add a rosemailed plate made for my inlaws to celebrate their anniversary, made in Norway by a family member and maybe a few other treasures that tell our story. I really hadn't considered anything other than family photos until I watched this video.

Whew! Sigh of relief, I think I've done pretty well, based on these guidelines! I feel like I am fairly skilled at creating gallery walls now, I've done many, and at least in my opinion, they look very nice. I seem to have a knack for choosing the right pieces and arranging them well. I also like to lay out everything on the floor to get a visual of how the actual pieces will look in the arrangement I have in mind. Then use the pieces of brown paper taped on the wall to get the alignment correct, and you can put your hangers, nails, or whatever over the paper and tear the paper away when you are done for easy hanging!

We have a gallery wall that goes up our stairs that is a collection of family photos through the years. My husband took the time to measure everything and I love the way it turned out. Not too busy but not too bare. We used the same size frames from our wedding as our "baseline" and then expanded out from there with different sizes, textures, and layouts. We planned it out with newspaper stencils of the frames before we hung a single nail.

I usually don’t like the dark wall thing but the one in your dining area works. I like how it contrasts with the kitchen giving it a real sense of separation and the way it looks from the white-walled sitting room. It also looks like it’s in a corner giving your eating area a sense of intimacy. The color and glow of the ceiling fixture warms up the space and plays nicely against the warm kitchen cabinetry and the warm woods in the living room. 👍🏾

Perfect timing! I’ve been repurposing frames for old family pictures. We formed a Facebook group and invited all the relatives we could find so we could share old photos. I now have beautiful family pictures from the 1800’s on up. The only changes I made to them was the I printed most in sepia tones since that was what many of them were anyway. I have dozens framed but haven’t worked up the courage to start hanging yet.

Great timing for this video! I’ve just spent an hour planning out my gallery wall for a wall in my new flat. I’m only guilty of one of the “don’ts”; I’m using mostly generic art. 😆 However, I’ve chosen each print carefully to work well together and with my colour scheme, as well as my personality, and I’ve stayed far away from anything I’ve seen elsewhere a million times. In the future I would love to incorporate some more personal pieces. For now I only have 3 “original” pieces out of 13 total (it’s a BIG wall). Ah well, I love every single piece and in the end that’s what matters most. Thanks for another great video! ☺️

I have a huge collection of original screen prints and paintings from other artists, as well as myself, that I dream of putting into a gallery wall, but I've always been so nervous about doing such because of how many poorly executed gallery walls I've seen. This video was really helpful in getting past that fear, though! You had some really great tips!

Not a fan in general. I prefer a larger statement piece. I have seen some gallery walls that really work, but I still default to a single piece. The most I will go to is a multi-piece artwork, like a triptych. But this is just me :)

You said "don't use generic art" but then a lot of the "do" walls had art that looked incredibly bland and generic 😅 For example in the wall in the room with the piano and brass lamp, most of the prints look incredibly bland. One is literally 3 blobs of grey, framed. I'm guessing it was a catalogue photo?
