How to Create a Gallery Wall Easily and Cheaply
A gallery wall, that is, a wall decorated with paintings , frames , photographs or other works of art, is a great way to showcase the personality of your space, without spending a fortune. In today's article, we will show you how to create a gallery wall that will impress, easily, creatively and economically.
✅ Step 1: Choose the right wall
The gallery wall can be placed almost anywhere:
- Above the sofa in the living room
- In an empty hallway
- Above the bed in the bedroom
- At the entrance of the house
Prefer a neutral wall that has enough light and no other bright decorations , so that your frames stand out.
✅ Step 2: Choose your topic
A gallery wall is more impressive when it has coherence. Choose a common theme:
- Black and white photos
- Abstract art or illustrations
- Vintage posters or magazine covers
- Photos from trips or family moments
A good combination of personal and decorative elements makes all the difference.
✅ Step 3: Mix sizes and styles
The "secret" of the gallery wall is visual interest. Combine:
- Frames of different sizes
- Horizontal and vertical oriented projects
- Wooden, black, white or even metal frames
👉 Tip: If you want a more modern look, choose uniform frames. For a boho or vintage feel, mix textures and styles.
✅ Step 4: Do a rehearsal on the floor first
Before nailing anything to the wall, lay the frames on the floor and experiment with the arrangement.
You can:
- Tape papers to the wall in the dimensions of the frames.
- Take photos to compare layouts
- Use apps that help with “visual planning” (like WallApp or Canva)
✅ Step 5: Install the frames without nails (if desired)
For an economical and non-permanent solution:
- Use Command-type adhesive strips
- Prefer lightweight frames
- Or even wall shelves to place and change decorations with ease

A gallery wall is not just decoration, it's an expression. You can add:
- Small mirrors
- Letters or quotes in a frame
- Decorative objects with 3D texture (such as knitted or wooden elements)
Don't be afraid to experiment! It's your space.
