We had the pleasure of a personal house visit from the lovely Chelsea Neman, who came to Jessie's new spot to #glowify the white walls. She truly transformed her house into a home, as art has the capacity to do. Chelsea whipped up the most well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing gallery wall and we were totally in awe of her skills. We asked her to share some tips for you guys to get started if you're thinking about creating something similar in your own home. You can also reach out to her personally through Tappan Collective for her personal expertise!
4 STEPS TO CREATE A GALLERY WALL:
Here's a step-by-step on how to create the perfect gallery wall, provided by The Tappan Collective for BuzzFeed.
Hanging art on your walls seems like the kind of thing where you can just eyeball a good spot and hammer away. Well, at Tappan Collective, we believe there’s even an art to hanging your art. We’re about to school you on the basics of organizing all those eclectic pieces into an interior design dream haven. Let’s get started!
1. Choose an anchor piece. Usually, this is the largest one of them all. If you don’t have a statement piece, then stack a few pieces to be the center of attention.
2. Choose your baseline on the wall. This step acts as your outline. The entire space can depend upon your starting point, if you want it to—like taking into account where your furniture is positioned.
3. To begin hanging, use a level so that every piece is straight and aligned perfectly. These slight details are small, but they make all the difference.
4. Style, refined style that is, doesn’t hold prejudice to whatever your budget may be, how many pieces you have, or what your space is like. Everyone can exhibit a polished, sophisticated, and lovely abode through the smallest details.
