STEP 3: PLAN THE LAYOUT
While your framed art is still on the floor, take a few minutes and experiment with the placing. Focus on balancing the colors and art styles so that all the prints feel evenly mixed. If you have a print that will be the centerpiece of the gallery wall, start with this print and add prints around it.
Tip: use the paper in the frame to plan!
Ok, listen up, because this trick is guaranteed to solve all of your gallery wall dramas! Take the sheets of paper that come inside of your frames, and use these as a template for planning your layout. Arrange them on your wall using washi tape so that you can easily make adjustments and perfect the look.
Tip: consider the height of your gallery wall
A good rule is to place the center of your gallery wall around 145cm (4ft 9inches) above the floor. If you’re hanging above a bed or sofa, frames should hang at least 15cm (6 inches) above the furniture.
Tip: get the spacing right
Usually, we would recommend spacing the frame 5-10cm (2-4 inches) apart. Start with a 5cm (2 inch) spacing between frames and go from there to find the right feel for your room. You could also try hanging them closer together if your space is smaller - we’d recommend no closer than 3cm (around 1.5 inches).
