Bedroom Wall Display
No house is complete without a gallery wall nowadays, whether that's in the bedroom, living room, hallway or every single room. One of the most game changing wall decor ideas around, displaying artwork, photographs and prints together in unison is the perfect way to add interest to a bland or basic looking space.
These gallery wall ideas will inspire you to fill any blank canvas, big or small, with life. And, by injecting a little of your personality into the room, you'll see your entire decor scheme come together in harmony. The most exciting thing about this project is that no gallery wall is the same and that you can get as creative as you'd like, even (if not especially) if you're on a budget, or a total novice when it comes to getting crafty.

What should be included in a gallery wall?
There are no rules or dos and don'ts with a gallery wall, but it is the perfect space to show off your favorite things. Be that art and vintage photo frames, maps or other trinkets, – who'd have thought their righteous home would be on the wall? DegreeArt.com co-founder and seasoned art expert, Elinor Olisa Barikor shares her thoughts and tips on how to introduce art into your home and into your gallery walls. 'The most important thing to consider when you start collecting art for your home is if the artwork makes you happy! You can bring your interiors to life by adding everything from paintings, to limited edition prints, to hand finished and artist designed accessories. Once you start collecting, it is hard to stop and you'll find yourself discovering new places in your home to display works that you never knew existed - from wall art created by a recent graduate, to sculpture placed on your mantle piece or even a new cushion designed by an artist – art doesn't need to be confined to a particular spot on your wall, incorporating art into your home really does create a homely, curated, happy space for you and your family.' Check out our ideas below and start building your own.

While many gallery walls are placed above a focal point like a sofa, or a sideboard, why not dedicated an entire wall to your gallery. We're talking about a display that spreads itself from floor to ceiling. Try the idea out on a smaller wall, like on a stairway landing or room dividing wall, or go full force and cover an empty wall from top to bottom with curated sorts.
You can keep uniform frames and color palettes complimentary for a polished look or mix and match for a design as varied as the items you love to collect.
24. Use the power of three

It works in writing and it sure makes a statement when hanging a gallery wall too. Choose three core colors that run through each piece of art or famed photograph and you'll create a cool, coherent look. Nod to colors present in the surrounding space for bonus decor points. The red, white and black theme works well to create a designer feel in this bedroom.
25. Create a view

Your gallery wall should be full of what brings you joy and while this design feature will ignite happiness wherever it may be in your home, consider building yours out at the foot of your bed or in front of a lounging area to create the perfect view for all times of day. Include small and simple drawings that will make you feel good about your space on all the levels.
Gallery wall ideas and tips from the experts
Catharina Björkman, Scandi lifestyle expert at Contura says, 'If your art or frames are not working in a particular space or room, simply move them around to see if they would be better placed in a different location. It can take time for items to look at home in a new spot, so resist the urge to switch them straight back if you are unsure at first. If you have a gallery wall, switching around your prints, adding more, or even taking some away is an inexpensive way to completely refresh your wall – it will bring you joy each time you see it in all its glory.'
