Transform blank walls into curated gallery displays with these expert tips on arrangement, spacing, and frame selection.
Blank walls are missed opportunities. Here's how to turn them into focal points.
Choose the Right Size
Wall art should fill 60-75% of the available wall space. A single piece above a sofa should be about 2/3 the width of the sofa.
Create a Gallery Wall
Mix frame sizes and styles for an eclectic look, or keep them uniform for a clean gallery feel. Lay out your arrangement on the floor first before hanging.
Spacing Matters
Keep 2-3 inches between frames in a gallery wall. For a single piece, center it at eye level — about 57 inches from the floor to the center of the piece.
Mix Media
Combine canvas prints, framed photographs, mirrors, and wall sculptures for depth and texture. A mirror among art pieces reflects light and makes the space feel larger.
With the right arrangement, your walls become a reflection of your personal style.
