I love this way of displaying a collection of artwork. But what’s the secret to transforming an otherwise boring wall into an at-home gallery? A diverse selection of photographs and art in a variety of mismatched frames and the willingness to forgo your obsession with perfection and symmetry. A bit of foresight in mapping out your collage on the floor before hanging helps too!

The last photos is my favorite. Some times less is more <3

I think this is a great idea for spaces which are meant to inspire you, like an office/workspace, or spaces that you just pass through, like a corridor, as all the different colours and shapes will provide a great source of inspiration on a daily basis. However I feel a bedroom or a living room could do with less artwork, but just a few well selected ones that will keep you inspired but relaxed.

It seems so easy, but creating a collection of artwork is surprisingly challenging. Some of displays I find appealing, while others tend to overwhelm the space to the point where you can’t really appreciate the work.

Lots of inspiration in these pictures. Some of them have too much pieces of art in my opinion, but the idea is great.

I love framed pics on the wall! I always do first the mapping on the floor – it really helps to visualise.

I won’t lie, I wish someone would do one for me. I just get so overwhelmed!
I love the ordered yet scattered look of these walls- it’s exactly what I want to do when I get to decorate a place of my own!

It’s a nice idea. Love these pictures. The last one is perfect. It’s very inspiring.
I love this idea. In the bathroom and dining room is a really cool way to add character and still keep the room classy and sophisticated.

Those are just too busy for my taste. I’m more of a minimalist when it comes to wall hangings.
I absolutely cannot wait to set up a gallery wall (or two) when I buy my first home!! I feel like that might be a bit too many holes for a place I’m only renting.

I love your interior posts! I think mismatched frames and different media in the frames makes the look. Great post!

I love bathrooms that have lots of artwork in them,especially ones that don’t have great natural lighting. The art makes them less dreary.
A super comprehensive gallery of galleries! I love it. Here’s one where I did forgo the need for symmetry and took a bit more of an eclectic approach. http://soprettyisasprettydoes.com/2013/05/01/framed-art-gallery-wall/
