Gallery walls are all the rage in home decor and they aren’t going anywhere for certain reasons: they tell the story of the owner or owners, they are easy to compose yourself and they are very versatile as you can make them of anything you want. If you don’t have much time or just don’t want to put effort into making a huge gallery wall but you want one, there’s a way to compose it without much fuss: make it of empty frames. An empty frame gallery wall is a creative way to fill in a blank wall and elevate the style of the space, and you won’t have to mix and match right as the frames, some or all of them, will be empty. Here are some ideas of such gallery walls and empty wall art pieces that you may use.
Empty Frame Gallery Walls
The easiest idea ever is to take some frames and attach them to a desired wall, so you get a ready gallery wall at once. If you want a more cohesive look, match the look or the color of the frames, and you can also paint them the exact color of the wall to create textural and eye-catchy decor with a modern feel. If you want the frames to stand out a lot, just choose a color that will contrast the wall and voila. If you suddenly find a piece or two that you want to see in your home, you can get them and insert them into your frames here and there partly filling the frames, that will give your gallery wall more interest. You can also decorate the wall inside the frames, for example, attach some paper butterflies or even chalk some letters inside.
