Quick Guide to Creating your Own Gallery Wall

If you find joy in designing your walls to make them look livelier and timeless, curating your personal items like photographs, paintings, and other works of art must not be a new thing for you. If this has always been your hobby, you must surely have a dream gallery wall in mind that you want to achieve.

If this is your first time doing it, there isn’t a hard and fast rule. Mahoneys Framing offers custom framing solutions for any of your artwork. Finding the best-fitted frame to match your dream gallery wall should be your top priority to achieve the best final look.

If you opt for a diverse design and a myriad combination of frame colours, keeping them in the same size or shape will help. Either way, custom frames from Mahoneys Framing can keep up with your fancy preference and desired impression.

Resist the temptation of jumping over to your wall and start hooking all your frames randomly. Though it sounds easy and fun, without the direction of a layout plan, any gallery wall can easily look messy and out of place.

Some people trace the shape of their custom frames onto craft paper and arrange the paper cut-outs on the wall or arrange them first on the floor and then put them up on the wall. It all depends on which of the techniques works for you.

After carefully selecting your custom frames from their size and shape down to their colours and then creating a layout in arranging them, now is the time to decide where to hang those frames. As a rule of thumb, always keep the frames at least two inches apart from one another. This is to make your display feel and appear more balanced. Also, try to keep the middle line of your collection at eye level so that people can pay attention directly to the subject of your artwork. And lastly, make sure to measure twice and hammer once.

Now, after all your hard work and effort in building your own gallery wall, showing it off to your family, friends, and loved ones is the best and most rewarding part. Your friends will surely start shooting you with questions and asking you tips on how to achieve an amazing job well done.
