Say farewell the the gallery wall. It’s had a good run, andbrwhile it may be charming, it’s really not worth the hassle. Curating thebrperfect gallery wall, both in content and special proportion, is no small feat.brStop the meticulous measuring and try giving your gallery wall an update.

Lose the hammer and nails and focus on these two words:brfloat and layer. If you want your wall to look laid back and stylish withbralmost no effort, simply display your art like you can’t be bothered to hang itbrup. If you don’t already have a set of floating shelves, that will be the onlybrmanual work required. This technique can work for any form of shelves presentbrin the home.

brbr

When arranging frames, instead of placing them uniformly,brtry layering them together using varying heights to establish visual interest.brA common color story in frames and images create cohesion, but don’t hesitatebrto add in the standout pop of color.
