How to Style a Gallery Wall (Without Making It Look Cluttered)

A gallery wall can transform a blank space into the most talked-about corner of your home — but get it wrong and it just looks messy. Here's how to do it right.

Start with a focal piece

Choose one larger print to anchor the arrangement, then build outward. This gives the eye somewhere to land first before exploring the rest of the wall.

Stick to a colour palette

2-3 colours max keeps it cohesive. Our Mustard Yellow Framed Canvas and Black Goose poster work beautifully together — bold enough to make a statement, complementary enough to feel intentional.

Mix frame styles intentionally

Matching frames feel formal and gallery-like. Mixed frames feel curated and personal. Neither is wrong — it depends on the vibe you're going for.

Use paper templates before you hammer

Cut newspaper to the size of each frame and tape to the wall before committing to a single nail. Rearrange until it feels right. Your walls will thank you.

Odd numbers work best

Groups of 3, 5, or 7 feel more natural to the eye than even numbers. It's a small trick that makes a big difference.
