Picking a gallery wall design that enhances your space can be tricky if you feel unsure of what would work well. With these four fail-safe ways to hang, you can pick one that suits your style, personality and wall best. In this series, our Art Advice team help you on the way to creating beautiful interiors with focused art advice for different areas of the home. Let's get started by showing you four different options for hanging your gallery wall.
What to think about for a gallery wall
There’s no right or wrong way to hang art, just different ways to express yourself. With the same wall and the same furniture, you can create four very different looks just by picking a specific way of hanging the art. Here are four tried and tested arrangements which create very different looks:
The Triangle
Adds a playfulness and a softer impression to a room with the artworks lining up along the bottom.
The Square
This look feels balanced, calm and considered, and can bring focus and order to a space if there is a lot going on elsewhere or if you prefer symmetry and minimalism.
The Diamond
This look feels balanced, calm and considered, and can bring focus and order to a space if there is a lot going on elsewhere or if you prefer symmetry and minimalism.
The Horizontal
With this arrangement the artworks create a relaxed, harmonious look that is perfect over a sofa or bed.
Get started with your gallery wall
This guide is ideal if you are ready to hang art but don’t quite know where to begin. You can zoom in on the images and hold a phone or tablet up in front of your walls to get an idea of how each will look, or alternatively, cut out pieces of paper or cardboard and hang them in your space to see how the different options look in your home.
