Transform Your Space with a Curated Gallery Wall
A well-designed gallery wall can become the focal point of any room, bringing personality, depth, and visual interest to your space. When working with nature and wildlife prints, you have the unique opportunity to bring the serenity of the natural world indoors.
Planning Your Layout
Before you start hammering nails, lay your prints on the floor to experiment with different arrangements. Consider these popular layouts:
- Grid Layout: Perfect for a clean, modern aesthetic. Use matching frames and equal spacing for a cohesive look.
- Salon Style: Mix different frame sizes and orientations for an organic, collected-over-time feel.
- Linear Arrangement: Align prints horizontally or vertically for a streamlined approach that works beautifully in hallways or above furniture.
Choosing Your Theme
Create visual harmony by selecting prints that share a common thread—whether that's a colour palette (ocean blues and sandy neutrals), a geographic region (African wildlife or Nordic landscapes), or a subject matter (botanical studies or coastal scenes).
Frame Selection
Your frames should complement both your prints and your interior. Natural wood frames enhance the organic feel of nature photography, while sleek black or white frames create a gallery-like sophistication. For a cohesive look, stick to one or two frame styles throughout your arrangement.
Spacing and Height
Maintain 5-8cm between frames for a balanced appearance. The centre of your gallery wall should sit at eye level (approximately 145-150cm from the floor). If arranging above a sofa or console, leave 15-20cm of space between the furniture and the bottom of your lowest frame.
Lighting Matters
Consider how natural and artificial light will interact with your gallery wall. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve your prints, and consider adding picture lights or adjustable spotlights to create drama in the evening.
