10+ Art and Picture Hanging Ideas | Gallery Wall Inspiration

Interior Decor Ideas

Gallery wall inspiration for a living room, bedroom, entry way, and more. 10+ simple art and picture hanging ideas for a DIY gallery wall!

I have a constant dilemma when it comes to decorating. Maybe you do, too?

You see, I love this. A single piece of art sitting atop neutral trim. It’s calm and quiet.

But, I also love this. Art, photos, and keepsakes hung at random heights throughout our stairwell. There is movement and depth to the space.

Picture Hanging Ideas

You see, I tend towards choosing a gallery wall in nearly every space — like the grandmother which has every inch of her walls covered in family photos. But, I work to restrain myself.

Why? Quiet spaces, like the first photo, let you feature a gallery wall elsewhere. It’s how you create depth and interest in a home, without causing it to feel cluttered and chaotic.

The beauty of a gallery wall is that it – like any collection – can grow over time.

This weekend, try this technique in your home. Hang some art on the wall.

If you don’t own enough artwork, head to a thrift store and roam the aisles. Look for photography and paintings that inspire you. Pull old family photos out of forgotten storage boxes.

Oh, and one more thing. Just Start. You don’t need every piece of the completed gallery wall. That’s the beauty of a collection — it grows over time.
