Another great trick with designing a gallery wall is to incorporate a variety of frame sizes. Use an oversized frame and mat for a smaller picture. Having white space in a gallery wall helps it in being successful.
Map out the gallery wall first. Draw out the size that will fill the space. Next, pick your must have items. If you don’t have enough personal items for the gallery wall, use filler items to help set the theme of the space. Picking art, quotes, and mediums that add variety helps create the eye appeal in the gallery wall.
Using cut outs from paper to get an idea of sizes needed will give an idea of what size of frame to use. It makes it easy to label and move around before every putting hammer to nail. Move the paper around multiple times in getting the correct idea for the best look for the gallery wall.
