Gallery Wall Spreading Over Multiple Walls 

 

Who doesn't love a stylish and unique gallery wall? There are many different ways to build gallery walls. However, if you want to be a little extra creative, we have a really good tip for you. Let the gallery wall on one wall continue over to the next. 

 

To get the right effect, it's important that the paintings go all the way into the corner between the two walls. This will give the impression that the gallery wall spreads out and continues from one wall to the other. Hanging paintings is not just about nailing up the chosen motif on a wall. To achieve a good result, you need a good plan. We recommend thinking outside the box!

Posters Chosen Based on the Room's Interior Details 

 

There are really no rules when it comes to hanging posters and paintings. Get inspiration from wherever you want and decorate the walls in your own unique way. However, you can achieve a really stylish result if you match the motifs with the room's other interior details. 

 

A tip is to look at the color scheme of the room you want to decorate. Are there already several color schemes or just one? If you find several, it might be smart to choose one of them to stick to so that the room doesn't look cluttered. However, if there are few colors in the room – maybe you have chosen to decorate in shades of white or beige – it can be stylish to choose a completely different color scheme. Then use this color scheme as a theme when you buy new interior details for the room.  

 

At Posterton, you can easily choose posters by color to find the perfect motifs for your room. 

Symmetry with Frames in Different Sizes 

 

Even if you have chosen posters in different sizes, you can easily create symmetrical patterns. Next to a poster in the size 50x70, for example, you can fit two smaller posters in the size 21x30. Also vary between horizontal and vertical motifs – if needed to create symmetry. 

 

By putting together symmetrical gallery walls, you contribute elegance and a sense of structure to a room. Regardless of the motifs you choose, these in a symmetrical pattern will look like they belong together. Try it and see! 

A Wide Range of Posters – and Identical Frames

 

We know it can be hard to decide on just a few motifs or motifs in a specific theme. There's so much stylish art to choose from and a lot of inspiration for posters to discover. Another way to decorate with art is to choose motifs in several different styles but place them in identical frames. This way, your gallery wall will look cohesive, even if there isn't much thought put into the choice of motifs. In fact, we promise a very stylish gallery wall that will put you in a good mood every day – it contains all your personal favorites.
