Arrangement: design image wall made easy

A picture wall is more than just a collection of pictures – it is a Canvaswhere you can express your personality. With the right tips, creating your gallery wall becomes a creative experience that not only enhances rooms but also tells stories. Whether you want to liven up your hallway, breathe new life into the living room, or add an intimate touch to the bedroom – here you'll learn how to plan, design, and arrange it with ease.

The plan: inspiration and preparation

Every great gallery wall starts with a vision. Imagine how you want your room to look: vibrant and bold or calm and harmonious? Inspiration can come from anything—from color combinations in nature to treasures from your favorite gallery.

1. Theme and color palette

Choose a theme that reflects your style: abstract art, photographs, travel memorabilia, or a mix of all of the above. The color palette should either harmonize with the room's decor or deliberately contrast. For example, combine warm tones like gold and beige with cool blue for an exciting dynamic.

2. Find the right dimensions

Measure the wall carefully and choose the right picture frames for your artwork. Whether it's a large wall with generous frames or a small area for delicate works, the format determines the effect. A rule of thumb: The picture wall should cover about two-thirds the width of the furniture (e.g., a sofa).

The design: The perfect composition

Here comes the creative part! To prevent your favorite motifs from looking like a chaotic hodgepodge, these steps will help:

1. Test the layout

Lay out the works on the floor or sketch out your layout on paper before hanging them. A symmetrical arrangement of pictures looks structured and elegant, while an asymmetrical wall design like the Inside the Lines hanging appears casual and modern. Play with sizes, shapes, and spacing.

2. Create variety

Combine different sizes and materials. A mix of images behind Acrylic Glass and fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper provide structure and depth. Make sure no element appears overpowering—harmony lies in balance.

3. Pay attention to heights

The center of your picture wall should be approximately at eye level. This usually means 140 to 160 cm from the floor to the center of the arrangement.

The arrangement: suspension and final details

Once the planning is complete, the time has come to have the pictures hung.

1. Tools and aids

Use a spirit level, a pencil, and appropriate mounting hardware to ensure precise placement. Adhesive strips or magnetic strips are suitable for lighter pieces like photos. Heavier wall art requires nails or sturdy hooks.

2. Keep your distance

Leave a consistent gap between the images—5 to 10 cm is ideal. This creates a cohesive impression.

3. Light as staging

Highlight your gallery wall with lighting. Spotlights or warm indirect light will bring the colors and textures to life. Acrylic Glass-Works unfold a special shimmer when reflected in light – an effect that enchants rooms.
