Image source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really like a well thought-out gallery wall. They add boundless\ncharacter and interest to a space and they can be frequently edited to keep it\nfresh. However, I understand that for some people creating and maintaining a\ngallery wall feels like too much work. And for others, this trend has just\nbecome a little overdone and tired. So, with both of those things in mind, here\nare four slightly simpler (but no less gorgeous) alternatives to a gallery\nwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mount Picture Frames\non Bookshelves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This alternative is quick, easy, and renter-friendly.\nMounting art on your bookshelves creates that same cosy, layered look of a\ngallery wall without having to measure, line up and nail in lots of little\nhooks. If you don\u2019t want to make holes in the bookshelf frame, simply lean art\non the shelves instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang Just One\nSupersized Piece <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go back to basics with one large-scale piece of art instead\nof lots of smaller ones. Large pieces of art tend to draw the eye in much the\nsame way as a gallery wall, but you only have to hang one thing. <\/em>By choosing just one piece of art you can also afford to\nsplurge on something you really love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art over Statement Wallpaper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People\ngenerally leave statement wallpaper alone on the wall; after all it was\ndesigned to do all talking. But if you want to create an ultra-exciting\nmaximalist look, hang a framed print on top of bold wallpaper. It gives that\nmismatched look of a gallery wall but with a totally unique approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mantelpiece Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No nails,\nno spirit levels, no stress. In this gallery wall alternative we simplify and\nstreamline the process by leaning 3-5 art prints on a mantelpiece or shelf.\nIt\u2019s quick to create and even quicker to change around if you ever fancy an\nupdate.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
