Gallery wall tips

• Before you begin, decide on the style of gallery wall that will suit your home. It could be a symmetrical arrangement or a random-looking display. Your frames can all match in style and colour and just vary in size or each frame could be unique.

• You can mix materials in your gallery wall, such as photos, prints and artworks both framed and unframed and wall-mounted objets d’art such as plates or mirrors.

• Choose your location carefully, taking into account your furniture, any architectural features and vantage points for viewing the wall. If hanging your pictures above a piece of furniture, such as a side table or sofa, make sure the bottom of the lowest frames will be 20cm above it.
