So You’ve Framed Your Art? Now Try Hanging a Gallery Wall.
Framing artwork is just the first step. Figuring out how (and where) to hang it takes some doing.
When you have a lot of art to display — or you just can’t decide which pieces to hang where — a salon-style gallery wall could be the answer.
“It creates so much interest,” said the interior designer Kelly Wearstler. “It creates a real focal point and warmth in a room, and it says so much about you, as an extension of your style.”
And whether you’re a seasoned collector or just choosing a few pieces to decorate a room, she added, a gallery wall “is sort of an artwork in itself.”
Of course, some gallery walls are better than others. To show us how the pros do it, Ms. Wearstler invited us into the family room of her house in Beverly Hills as she began planning a new gallery wall.
