These are the three best ways to add a little dimension to your gallery wall, while still staying true to your personal style.
Having pieces that are different mediums, sizes and color all add a lot of texture and visual interest to a space. As you can see in the image above, they don't even have to all be hung on the wall! Liz uses a thin table behind her couch to rest candles, books, blooms and even art on to add dimension and beauty to her space. This is also a great way to cover things that you may not be able to with a traditionally hung piece. If you look closely, Liz uses the art on the stand to cover up the thermostat (they never place those in cute locations, especially in classic homes like Liz's family home) which keeps it from becoming an eyesore in an otherwise lovely space. This styling features work from
Allison James,
Shannon Coppage and
Angela Chrusciaki Blehm, three of the gallery's amazing artists.
Framing can really add a lot to a piece and add a lot to the gallery wall as a whole. This could be something as elaborate and exquisite as this

piece, or it can be as simple as adding a thin, wood, float frame around a canvas. This is also a way to fill space in between pieces and therefore making a statement piece more of a statement as well as giving you more bang for your buck. Framing can really add a lot to art, but it can also be distracting, make sure you are picking a frame that you love, but that also makes the art inside it sing.
There is no rule saying you can't go wild with a fun wallpaper or paint color on your walls under your fine art pieces. At the gallery, we have started painting a couple of our walls colors that you may have in your home already to prove that art does not need to be on a plain white wall. the artwork. This is a really good way of continuing a motif or theme throughout the whole space. It can make a space feel more thought out and complete with very little additional effort.
