Gallery walls are currently on top because nothing else can tell the story of your family or personality in such an easy and artful way adding character to your space. The good thing about gallery walls is that they can be easily DIYed and you can make as many as you want changing pieces from time to time. If you are looking for inspiration, this roundup will give it to you, we’ve prepared the coolest black and white gallery walls to steal!
How To Style A Black And White Gallery Wall?
First of all, decide on the shape – there are grid and free form gallery walls, the latter being perfect for more creative interiors and the first matching classic spaces. If you ask me, I’d say that as a black and white gallery wall lacks color, to make it more eye-catchy you may rock a free form shape but still there are other means to make your gallery wall stand out. You may also go for a ledge gallery wall that is a very renter-friendly idea and will let you change artwork whenever you want it.
Second, decide on the frames you are going to use: matching or not? Will you go for black, white or gilded or stained frames? Will you go for matting or not, will it be of the same color or different? Will you skip frames for some artwork? If you are having ledges, will you use any frames at all? Answering these questions will make your designing easier and faster.
