“For me, a gallery wall is all about the eclectic,” reveals Erica. “I love to mix frame styles and even print and painting genres. I’m also really drawn to typography prints mixed with vintage florals or children’s artwork in IKEA frames paired with old black-and-white family wedding photos.”
“If you want a more uniformed approach, go for matching frames or frame colours (white, black or gold, for example). I also tend to stick to odd numbers of things (one, three or five) as they always look better in design terms.”
“Try playing around with the layout of your picture wall without the commitment by laying them all on the floor. That way, you’ll get some idea of how you’d like them to look on the wall without having to actually hand them.”
“And finally, I really like using unconventional space, too. For example, in our downstairs toilet, I have prints everywhere, including above and below the window. It makes for an interesting focal point in the most unlikely of places.”
