Choosing the art and prints for a gallery wall that is pleasing to look at, and works together without clashing, can be overwhelming!

Choose your own gallery wall art based on these 4 principles:

• Choose arT that works in your theme - eclectic mixing and matching of traditional realism with abstracts can work if similar tones are chosen. (See Neutral Art and PRINTS Gallery Wall Theme)

• Can I hang original art with prints on a gallery wall?
  Originals and prints can be the most pleasing - choose original art pieces (they can be small) and prints and mix them up
  
  

• What sizes of art and prints work best hung together?
  Choose different sizes and aspects - for example, if you have a vertical framed print of 16” x 20” then you could also have a large square painting and a smaller artwork/print of 8” x 10”
  
  

• How should I choose art for my home gallery wall?
  Make sure you are choosing art and prints that you love, not just that look right together. The whole point of choosing art and prints for a home gallery wall is to mix up pieces that really speak to you, add something to your room and make you smile when you look at them!
  
  

• How many pieces should you have on a gallery wall?

  Even just three pieces are a pleasing gallery-style wall - you don’t need a dozen to create the effect (See the example of a minimal gallery wall below)

  
  

3 steps to create a pleasing gallery wall:

COLORS:
All colors in the blue family, yes, but they are in complementary shades of blues -- very important! Blue/green, blue/grey, blue/purple, blue/red...they can skew your palette if you mix too many together (creates a "muddy" look).

SIZES:
Some square, some vertical give interest to the wall vs. using all one size or shape. These range from the largest at 30" x 30" (original art painting SUNSET LATE II) to the smallest print (8" x 10" Blue Gold)

TYPES OF IMAGES:
While all of these are abstracts, they vary from a modern minimalist landscape to a bold stokes watercolor (BOLD STROKES). Also included is a small moody abstract original painting (DOWN DEEP) and it is paired with a bright, upbeat expressive (BLUE ZEST) print.

Use a variety of shapes, sizes and styles to create the most effective pairings of artwork and prints together. Choose somber mixed with bright and large next to small to give the wall the most visual interest!

WHY THIS GALLERY ART MIX WORKS:

1. COLORS: Complementary colors (blues, white, pops of orange) are a good match for each other

2. SIZES: Two of the same size mixed with a larger piece in the same format (square) is a good balanced way to complete a gallery wall without a wide variety of formats and sizes.

3. STYLE: All abstract, all expressionist-style mixes well with the theme.
