Gallery walls seem to be on top of all means to spruce up a home: they are easy to make, affordable and can tell the story of your family and home like no other thing. If you want to try this idea but don’t want to puzzle over a large one, or you don’t have enough space for a big gallery wall, this roundup will help you: we’ve gathered the coolest mini gallery walls to go for! How to design one, what artwork to choose and many other things will be stated in this article.
How To Design A Mini Gallery Wall?
An important point to remember: you have fewer artwork pieces, so they should be bolder or more special than if you had a larger gallery wall, to impress no less than a large one. Now for the shape: gallery walls are usually grid or free form ones, the first giving a more elegant touch to the space, the latter looking more creative and eye-catchy. But a mini gallery wall in a grid looks a bit boring as you have very few pieces (not more than 4), I’d say it will work only with two artwork. For three or four artwork items a free form will be much better. As you don’t have many artworks, a catchy shape will help them stand out. Create your layout using your PC or paper, make a photo with your phone and repeat it on the wall.

What Frames To Use For Mini Gallery Walls?
The frames you are using can be mismatching or matching, matching ones are great for grid gallery walls, while free form ones may use mismatching but still somehow unified frames – black and gold, for example, or matching in orientation, or of the same type of wood. If you are rocking a free form gallery wall, you need something cohesive in it, and your frames can help with them. The same goes to matting – having it or not having it is something that you should decide yourself and this is something that can help you make the gallery wall more cohesive.

Where To Place A Mini Gallery Wall?
A mini gallery wall, thanks to its size, can be placed literally anywhere, even in the smallest corner, and this is the main advantage of such decor. You can create one not only in a bedroom or a living room where we usually have a whole blank wall but also in a tiny powder room or a bathroom. A mini gallery wall can take place over your nightstand, over your dining table or bathtub. Choose lovely art or personal pics that will catch an eye, even though there are just a couple of pieces.
