How I Built a Gallery Wall Above My New Desk
Hello from my office!
After we built the new desk (details on my blog), I wanted to decorate my work area and make it pretty to look at. We are still unpacking so I had to go search up my gold frames because that's what I knew I wanted to use. They were in two separate places, but I found them!
That wall is a blank canvas! Lets get started!
The following photos show you how I placed each mirror and frame to create my gallery wall. Its probably more than you need to see, but it gives you the idea of how I placed each piece.
When creating a gallery wall, I like to start with my largest pieces and work down to the smaller ones. Obviously you aren't going to have the same items I do, so just place yours like you think they look nice to YOU.
What I used:
Gallery Wall pieces
Hammer
Nails
STEP 1: Before I started, I laid my frames on the floor and arranged them how I liked them, snapped a picture on my phone and then transferred the design to the wall.
STEP 2: I used the width of my desk for my border line and tried not to go past that.
STEP 3: Keep adding your pieces until you fill the border space you've allowed.
STEP 4: Decorate the remainder of your space if needed. In this case, I decorated my desk top with a few items I love!
There is no wrong or right way to create a gallery wall. These are items you love and put together and want to display in YOUR home. Have fun with it!
Thanks for looking! :)
