Frequently asked questions

A gallery wall is a composition covering a large portion of a wall, making a personal and unique statement in the decor.

For a gallery wall: first lay out the composition on the floor. Start with the central piece and build around it. Leave 5 cm between each frame.

Pitfall: a gallery wall without a common thread (same frame OR same theme OR same color palette). Choose a unifying element.

You can hang a variety of items on a gallery wall, including paintings, posters, photos, mirrors, and frames of different sizes and shapes.

To achieve a balanced gallery wall, play with frame sizes, shapes, and orientations. Arrange them asymmetrically to create a dynamic and personalized look.

You can opt for a varied palette of frames, in wood, metal, plastic, with finishes like black, white, gold or natural. This will add texture and visual interest to your composition.

While you can choose a coherent theme, such as family photos or works by the same artist, a gallery wall can also be eclectic and reflect your personal tastes.

You can evolve your gallery wall by regularly adding new pieces, changing the placement of frames, or replacing certain elements. This will allow you to keep it fresh and adapt it to your desires.
