Hey there, design enthusiasts and fellow dream-weavers!
If you've been keeping up with my home transformation journey, you'll know that the last two months have been a whirlwind of renovations, unboxing, and organizing.
And let's not forget the delightful chaos that comes with two little tornadoes—I mean, kids. But hey, who says moving can't be fun, right?
If you missed the kick-off, take a stroll through my empty house tour, where I spilled the beans on the master plan that set this whole creative journey ablaze.
Fast forward to this weekend, and we're finally getting to the exciting part—my Eclectic Organic Gallery Wall for the home office!
Now, buckle up as I spill the beans on how I (re) designed our gallery wall because, trust me, it's not just about slapping art on the wall. It's an art in itself—a dance of colors, vibes, and a touch of whimsy.
Step 1: Design
Let's kick it off by deciding on a color palette and a vibe.
Ours is all about that vintage brass feeling, with a dash of gold, black, and white. Picture soft green touches dancing in harmony. It's like orchestrating a symphony but with paint and frames.
This color and texture harmony will give your eclectic wall a cohesive feel.
Step 2: Keep it Interesting - The Mixtape of Wall Art
Mix and match, my friends! Go crazy with different sizes and materials. We threw in some black metal frames, gold frames, and vintage textured wood for that perfect gallery wall melody. Hunt down some vintage treasures, and don't forget to indulge in a bit of Etsy therapy!
Step 3: Lay it Out on the Floor- Gallery Wall Ballet
Yes, start with designing on the floor. Lay your pieces on the floor and let the magic unfold. It's like a puzzle, but way more artsy. Find your rhythm, decide on the main placement, and let the gallery wall ballet begin
Step 4: Measure & Plan - The Technical Tango
Measure twice, nail once! Once you've laid out your masterpiece on the floor, measure the width and height.
Then, armed with a plan, start nailing. We began with the anchor piece on the top corner, and started spacing 1-2 inches between art pieces.
Step 5: Keep it Flowing
Why stop at eye level? Let your gallery wall cascade down to the floor for that extra oomph. And guess what? You can keep adding to the sides because, in this gallery, the party never stops!
Keep it flowing, it can reach even to the floor if you want an impactful accent wall.
If you're still hungry for more wall decor options, I've got you covered.
