You
don’t have to visit a museum to experience a gallery wall display. These design
schemes featuring many framed photos or paintings, have been popular for years.
And they’re a nice way to enhance just about any space while showcasing your
favorite art.
Gallery
walls serve as an easy solution for awkward areas, such as hallways,
stairwells, high walls, and other spaces where just a piece or two would leave
the wall feeling bare.
There
are many ways to approach a gallery wall. Go for an eclectic look, mixing metal
and wood frames with a variety of textures and colors. The opposite extreme:
using all wood or all metal frames of just one color.
American
Frame Showroom Manager, Lindsey Harrison, usually suggests frames that don’t
compete with the art.
“I recommend simpler shaped frames, like the Basics or American Hardwoods
collections, so the wall doesn’t get too busy,” she said. “The great thing about those collections
is that the shape and dimensions are all similar, but you can use different
colors if you want. For metal frames, I often recommend
the Standard Plus Three for its
simplicity, or the Tiffany because the recess adds some
additional detail and interest without becoming too fussy.”
Whichever
frames you choose, consider keeping one theme throughout, so the collection
feels cohesive. When using a variety of frames, for example, display only
watercolor portraits or black and white photographs. You can add a common
thread by using the same color mats for all pieces. For a linear approach, the
frames and mats can be identical with differing window openings to accommodate
different shapes of art.
Love
the freewheeling look of a framed art collection that's arranged with little
rhyme or reason? That approach makes it easy to add to the grouping as you
create or buy new pieces.
If
you prefer a neat, orderly style, our Director of Special Projects, Mike
Cromly, recommends designing the layout using the following process.
·
Gather
all your framed pieces and trace their outline onto pieces of kraft paper.
·
Tape
the paper to the wall, experimenting with the arrangement until it looks
balanced or fits the look you're trying to achieve. That will save you the time
and frustration of repairing misplaced nail holes.
·
Once
you like the layout, start driving the nails, leaving the kraft paper in place.
When all the nails have been positioned, remove the kraft paper and hang your
art.
