Gallery walls are a household favorite because they are a way to display your loved ones, spice up the walls, and bring personality to your home.

However, with a few examples, you’ll be hanging pieces in your home like a pro.

Where To Start

First, you have to figure out the basics, like where you want to put the gallery art, what pictures you want to display, the vibe you want to give with the pieces you’re hanging, and lastly what frames you’ll be using.

However, if you want a simple, clean, symmetrical effect, you could keep all the sizes of the frames the same and use the same frames, as shown in the picture below.

A great way to get ideas is by looking up online different gallery walls according to the effect you want to give.
