I love a good gallery wall. They've been going strong for years with no end in sight, and with good reason! It's such a beautiful way to display a collection of art, with so many different ways to approach depending on your personal style and preferences. I tend to prefer a mash-up in every way for our own home, but can also appreciate a more refined approach with coordinated frames/mats/colors - I've done this for several clients and loved the results.
It was this room in Architectural Digest (below) that really stuck with me. I loved the idea of a whole-wall or whole-room gallery, only to be stopped by a wall, floor or ceiling. So much inspiration! Check out the pink canvas over the door - this would be an easy DIY to fill an odd spot!
Then, just after moving the wall of art in our living room to the dining room recently, I realized the perfect opportunity was right in front of me. Not only will it bring some much-needed balance to the room, I love the idea of being cozily surrounded by wrap-around, to-the-ceiling art! I'd love to include floor-to-ceiling, but I'm not sure the furniture layout will allow thisβ¦ we'll see. There's art scattered around the dining room at the moment, and I'm hoping to tackle the next installment this week! In the meantimeβ¦inspiration!
