HOME :: Living Room Gallery Wall

     

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing with all of you my living room gallery wall! I love the way it turned out and I'm excited to show it to you! Gallery walls seem to be sticking around and NOT going anywhere anytime soon and that is GOOD news for the rest of us who love doing them. I have designed a couple already in my house but only ONE gallery wall you have seen . . . thusfar, but I believe you can have one in every room if done right. The thing about gallery walls too, is there aren't really any rules to follow except for a few tips and that is it. You really can't go wrong or mess it up at all. If you have never done one before and would like some pointers, then refer to this post on my tips for creating a gallery wall.

I personally start, as with any project, with a big piece or a statement piece to put on the wall. For me I made this huge piece of canvas art which is simply, some amazing IKEA fabric I picked up in this black and white print and wrapped a canvas with it! That is it! My living room is decked out in black and white, mostly with green accents so when I saw that fabric, I knew I needed to use it in a BIG way in this room. I also wanted to add shelves this time and make one really long shelf above the couch (that needs replaced- no judging- lol). So I grabbed two white IKEA shelves and butted them together to get this look. I used the wall shelves that you can sit frames on, with a ledge so I can interchange my art out for the holidays throughout the year and not have tons of holes in the wall. It has worked perfect and I love changing it up every now and again! Once I figured out where I wanted my big pieces, I pretty much laid it out on the floor until I liked the layout and then up it went.
 

With this gallery wall I really kept it simple as the other gallery wall is near this one and I didn't want them to compete with each other. This one has some of my favorite sayings displayed: pray big, believe you can and of course I had to hand letter something: Choose Happy!

One of my favorite pieces I was so happy to score for this project, was the large ampersand as I kinda have a thing for them around the house but this one is the biggest, so far. I guess I love the "&" sign as I feel it gives me hope. As in, there is always something else coming when you hear and . . . . =)

All of my items that I used for this project I either purchased at IKEA, Pier 1 Imports or Hobby Lobby. Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for checking it out!
