18 Gallery Wall Ideas and How to Steal Them

by on Jun 13, 2017

I recently hung a gallery wall in my dining room using a combination of various frames and a couple other items, but first I scoured the internet for inspiration and a variety of gallery wall ideas to bring my boring white wall to life. Gallery walls add so much personality to a space, and you can customize them so many ways using new pieces, pieces you already own or a combination of the two. 

Here are 18 gallery wall ideas to draw inspiration from (and steal for your own home)!
