A gallery wall is one of the most rewarding ways to style a home. Grouping several pieces together creates a considered, collected look that fills a wall with personality. This step-by-step guide walks you through how to plan, arrange and hang a gallery wall you will love, with wall art to shop along the way.

1. Choose your art

Start by choosing pieces that share a common thread, whether that is a colour palette, a style or a subject. A cohesive gallery wall does not mean identical art, it means art that feels connected. Mix orientations and sizes for interest. Our art prints are ideal for gallery walls, and you can browse by style across the full wall art collection.

2. Pick your format and frames

Decide whether you want a uniform look or a relaxed mix. Matching framed wall art in the same frame colour creates a crisp, gallery feel, while a blend of canvas prints and frames feels more organic. Unframed art prints let you choose your own frames for a custom look.

3. Plan your layout

Before you hang anything, plan your arrangement. A grid layout feels ordered and modern, while an organic, asymmetric layout feels relaxed and eclectic. Lay your pieces on the floor first, or trace them onto paper and tape the shapes to the wall to test the composition.

4. Get the spacing right

Keep a consistent gap between pieces, usually around five to eight centimetres, so the group reads as one collection. Start from the centre and work outwards. For more on scale and placement, see our wall art size guide.

5. Hang with confidence

Once your layout is set, hang from the centre piece outwards, checking each is level as you go. Our guide to the dos and don'ts of hanging wall art covers heights, fixings and common mistakes to avoid.
