Gallery walls are everywhere, from living rooms to even kitchens, as they spruce up any space, make it bolder and show off your personality or tell your story, what can be better for decor? Today I’d like to share some ideas on the most unusual places for gallery walls – bathrooms.
Planning
The start is like with any other room in your home: plan your gallery wall figuring out the layout first, then decide on the frames and how to hang everything up. If you are going to use frames, consider their size, color and look and if you gonna use them on all the artwork or not. Decide whether you are going to use only artwork or also some posters, prints and other objects like decorative baskets here.

Frames
You don’t have to frame all the pieces in your gallery wall. However, the frames you use should be chosen carefully. Mixing a bunch of different colors, metallics, stained woods, could quickly become visually overwhelming. So, unless this is the look you are going for, try to limit your frames to a maximum of three different finishes.

Variety And Cohesion
A good way to make sure your gallery wall has variety is to mix media. Combine vintage prints, original art, flea market paintings, photographs and maybe even textiles to create a story on your wall. Try to include a range of different art media as well, like watercolor, oil, charcoal drawings, etc. You may also incorporate neon lights or signs, shelves with small decorative objects or plants, baskets, hats, musical instruments and flowers, mirrors, masks. Though variety is a must for a beautiful gallery wall, it’s also a good idea to aim for some cohesion within your gallery wall, which supposes a more unified look. Elements that can create a unified aesthetic in a gallery are: similar genres of artwork, frames in very similar styles/colors, uniform spacing between the frames and all the same frame dimensions.
