Creating a Gallery Wall

Creating a gallery wall is a simple way to bring style and personality to any room — no painting or wallpapering required. All you need is a hammer, some frame hooks, and a collection of your favorite art. 

For the stairwell in my own home, I was looking to design a minimal, modern landing so I selected black frames to coordinate with our iron stairwell, and opted to arrange the photos in a grid. This project was incredibly easy and every time I pass it I am reminded of happier times and all the incredible trips we were able to take.

Black and white photos are an excellent choice for a gallery wall because they are cohesive and look great in a grouping. Another thing to keep in mind when designing your own gallery wall is the choice of frame. Here, I opted for the same black frame from Amazon for a uniform end product. The pictures, taken from various family trips were printed right off of my iPhone! It’s amazing what you can do with a limited budget and a little creativity!
