A gallery wall is usually a great way to fill an empty and somewhat neglected space or to make a feature of an area for instance above a bed or in a hallway entrance, to greet people. But to create such a feature, you don’t always have to provide only a flat wall, you may extend your gallery wall to the corner and another wall giving it more space. Here are some ideas to create such a corner gallery wall.
Form Your Gallery Wall
Start by roughly plotting the formation of your gallery. Think about using different frame sizes, sketch out the layout first or you could even create a mock up on photoshop if you have it. Be mindful of the wall color so the frames don’t camouflage into the surroundings. You can even ditch the nails and buy some picture ledges to display your gallery. Prints look lovely just propped up against a wall, slightly over lapping one another and it means it’s even easier to swap things around.

Pick The Pieces
Go for a mix of styles and accent colors, rock a mix of photography, typography and illustration. Often having a similar color palette running through is enough to tie them all together. Pick a mix of white/ plain backgrounds and images that are bled right to the edge so it doesn’t look too full on. Shapes or lines or even just blocks of color compliment a vast array of prints in a gallery set up. Don’t go too trend led when choosing your prints as this won’t have longevity, although the good thing about a gallery wall is you can sub prints out as time goes on and you get bored.

Leave Space For Detail
Your gallery wall doesn’t need to be made up entirely of frames, in fact other details interspersed between the prints makes the whole thing look more complete. Hang wall plants, mirrors, wall hangings or garlands. Think of it like adding a bag, earrings or shoes to an outfit. Have fun with accessorizing the gallery but do remember to leave space for these things. Ideally they should be planned into the overall layout, unless you’re using picture ledges.
