Gallery walls are always a good ideas as they look great. I’m considering one for my living room but I think they look fab in any room especially a kids room where you can have so much fun creating one. It’s a great way to update a room that needs a bit of love or just change the look for a new season.
The most obvious way to create a gallery wall is to display lots of shop bought framed prints or even just a few if you prefer a cleaner look. Alternatively large panoramic canvas prints are great for creating a focal point on a wall and they also add a personal touch as you can display a favourite family memory or moment. You can then add smaller prints or other wall hangings around it to create a gallery look.
There are plenty of other creative ways to create gallery walls and some cost almost nothing. You can simply frame your kids artworks to make a very unique gallery wall or you don’t even have to use art. Some of the cutest gallery walls I’ve seen use objects and decorations and even clothes.
In case you’re looking for inspiration to get started, here are a few fun and unusual ideas on how to create a gallery wall in a kids bedroom:
If you’re not a fan of colour, go for a monochrome look in a nursery or kids room. Here. lots of fun, quirky, interesting postcards, shapes and more are simply taped to the wall with washi tape. There’s no order here, they’ve just stuck lots on but I love that and because they’ve kept the tones the same it makes it even more striking. Best of all, there’s lots for the baby to look at!
If monochrome doesn’t float your boat, this bright and colourful gallery wall definitely will. I love the floor to ceiling effect and bright colours against the white wall. Also, don’t miss the decorative objects hung on the adjacent wall; just shows that gallery walls don’t have to stop on on one wall. You could create similar with your kids artwork or mix and match their art with other pieces. This is of course a much more organised look than the one before but that’s the thing with gallery walls – you can create exactly the look you like.
Gallery walls can be as full on or as minimal as you like, just like this one. It’s very simple with just a couple of kids drawings, some postcards and some fun objects. Even though there isn’t much on this wall, it still looks so cool especially with the bear and the bird stickers added on. This wall shows how you can mix and match wall stickers, kids art, decorations and prints to create a wall that is entirely unique and personal to your child.
This is yet another fun way to decorate a wall. I love the use of large prints mixed in with small ones but I especially love the quirky shelves, mirror and other objects thrown in. It just shows that you can really create a gallery wall with anything you already have like mirrors, fabrics, shelves, postcards, old family photos… the list goes on. Just bring it all together in a fun and imaginative way.
How stunning does this gallery wall look? Most gallery walls I’ve come across use small and medium size pictures and maybe the odd large one. But this one has gone super-size with all the pictures and it looks great. The choice of images is very interesting too as it contains a mix of playful ones with more grown up ones and even an enlarged photo thrown it. Though they’ve gone for six artworks, you can have just two or three large posters or canvases to create as much of an impact as this wall does. There’s lots of inspiration to take away from this wall for any room in the house.
These are just a few examples of different ways to create gallery walls but you really can do anything you like and the more creative the better!
