The ultimate guide to creating your Gallery Wall
Create a unique Wall that reflects you
Turn your space into a true expression of your personality with a gallery wall that speaks volumes. Mix and match Etcheaz prints in different sizes, play with themes, experiment with frame styles—and let your creativity shine.
Whether you’re aiming for bold and eclectic or soft and harmonious, here’s how to bring your vision to life like a pro.
Tips for hanging your Art like a Pro
1. Use a Level
Even in seemingly “random” layouts, a touch of structure goes a long way. A level ensures your frames are properly aligned and gives your wall a clean, intentional look.
2. Keep even Spacing
Leave about 5 to 8 cm (2–3 inches) between each frame. This spacing helps your wall breathe and creates a polished, cohesive layout.
3. Hang at eye level
The center of your main artwork should sit approximately 145 cm (57 inches) from the floor. This keeps your gallery naturally aligned with the viewer’s gaze.
4. Choose the right fixtures
Depending on your wall type (plaster, brick, concrete) and the weight of your frames, opt for the right hanging hardware: strong hooks, nails, or adhesive strips.
5. Master the Art of asymmetry
Perfect symmetry isn’t the only path to beauty. Slight, intentional shifts in frame placement can add movement and personality to your gallery wall.
6. Try It on the Floor First
Before committing to the wall, lay out your entire arrangement on the floor. This lets you test compositions, play with spacing, and avoid unnecessary holes in the wall.
Style it with Color and Shape
Mix Shapes and Orientations
- Combine vertical and horizontal frames to break the rhythm and add interest.
- Include round or organic shapes (like circular frames or abstract prints) to soften a rigid grid.
- Don’t be afraid to add a 3D object—like a small mirror, sculptural piece, or typography element—for a truly dynamic look.
Play with Color Palettes
- Tone-on-tone: Stick with a limited color palette (e.g., all warm tones or soft neutrals) for a serene, minimalist look.
- Contrast bolds and neutrals: A black-and-white piece next to a bright or pastel print creates visual energy.
- Echo your room’s palette: Pick up on accent colors from your furniture, rug, or cushions to tie the gallery wall into the rest of the room.
