The gallery wall trend is still going strong, and it’s a great solution for collectors of art and objects. Gallery walls have evolved from perfectly matched and level frames to an eclectic mix of art that gives the viewer insight into the person behind the collection. While these galleries may seem effortlessly thrown together, they can actually take years to accumulate. Thinking of starting a gallery wall of your own? Here’s a little inspiration.
