Gallery wall in 5 styles – let your room reflect your tastes

The world of interior design is filled with fantastic decorative styles – minimalistic, industrial, romantic and retro are just some of the available options. If you want your décor to stay interesting for as long as possible, we recommend choosing designs that appeal to you the most, even if they’re not currently considered fashionable. The same applies to designing your personal gallery wall. Let the wall be a beautifully stylish reflection of all your interests and things closest to your heart. Interior design is not just about putting patterns together to find the best matches. It’s first and foremost an effort to create a space that resonates with its owner. Check out some of our ideas and transform your entire flat with a photo gallery in the hallway, living room or bedroom. 

Urban-style gallery wall 

Glass skyscrapers reflecting sunlight, busy streets reminiscent of arteries of a giant organism, majestic bridges connecting parts of the city together – if you’re fascinated by great metropolises and you find their energy infectious, why not create your own modern photo gallery in the living room with images of famous cities? This idea works wonders in all minimalist and industrial interiors.

You can ensure an interesting effect if you choose designs that feature black and white as the dominating colours (1. City map poster, 2. Graffiti poster, 3. Minimalistic poster, 4. Motivational poster, 5. Architectural poster, 6. Town plan poster, 7. Letter poster, 8. Brooklyn Bridge poster, 9. Black letter poster, 10. Writing poster, 11. Terrazzo poster) - myloview.com

You can ensure an interesting effect if you choose designs that feature black and white as the dominating colours. As far as the images themselves, you don’t necessarily need to focus entirely on urban areas. Many people prefer to combine photos of famous bridges and bird’s-eye views of cities with other designs to mix things up a bit. You can go for a monochromatic abstract composition, a typographic poster with a clever catchphrase or a stunning pattern. In this case there are no bad ideas, so let your imagination run wild! 

Fashion-inspired photo gallery in the living room 

Let’s move on to something completely different. A wall decoration idea perfect for a feminine interior. This time, we found inspiration in the world of fashion. To make the interior both stylish and subtle, we recommend using artistic drawings, illustrations and sketches instead of photographs. This way you’ll be able to design a thematic gallery that doesn’t overwhelm the interior with too many colours and therefore can be used even in smaller rooms. Portraits of women with fashionable outfits, professional make-up and trendy hairstyles will elevate your interior to a whole new level of style.

If you want your interior to look beautiful but still subtle, go for artistic illustrations, drawings and sketches instead of photographs (1. Abstract poster, 2. Woman illustration, 3. Girl in glasses poster, 4. Flower bouquet poster, 5. Minimalism poster, 6. Black-and-white portrait, 7. Girl posing poster, 8. Lips poster) - myloview.com

You can also contrast fashion-themed posters with floral motifs. It’s a wonderful way to introduce some cheerful, spring atmosphere into your room. And if you want the space to look truly glamorous, we recommend framing the posters in gilded frames. What’s more, these ideas can just as well be used in other parts of your home. The subtle colour scheme will look equally gorgeous in the bedroom. 

Green trends for 2020: never enough plants 

Green motifs have been popular for several seasons but this year they’re especially prominent. Plants are now featured not only on our windowsills but also in elaborate, multileveled vertical gardens as well as under the ceiling in fashionable, Boho-style flower pots. This green trend works well in urban jungle interiors, but also in minimalistic, Scandinavian and eco décors. What’s more, you can now go one step further and combine living plants with stunning wall decorations.

There’s no such thing as too much green, which is why we recommend creating a floral photo gallery for your hallway. There are many different designs to choose from, though we feel partial towards exotic fern leaves, palm fronds and Swiss cheese plants. Lush green leaves on a white background create a feeling of freshness and can liven up any décor. If you like this idea, you can also consider framing a few of the posters in wooden frames. 

Gallery wall for a true globetrotter 

If travelling is what brings the most joy to your life, you should definitely reflect that when decorating your home. Travel motifs are a fantastic way to create a unique atmosphere in an interior. They can also be used to showcase the places you’ve visited and evoke positive memories. Choose the most beautiful photographs from the areas of the world that had the biggest impact on you. With a personalised photo gallery in the living room, the décor will never get boring or mundane. Now you’ll be able to remember the stunning Scandinavian glacial lakes, sharp mountain peaks and charming forests every single day. Just like in the case of our previous ideas, you can also sprinkle other designs in between the picturesque landscapes to make things a bit more interesting. Perhaps a compass rose or a beautiful sketch?

How about a gallery wall with cityscapes of cities you’ve visited? It’s a very original idea that will motivate you to expand your collection (1. Compass poster, 2. Bear poster, 3. Mountain illustration poster, 4. Mountain peaks poster, 5. Red boat poster, 6. Braies Lake poster) - myloview.com

Decorative styles with artistic accents 

Another theme for your gallery wall can simply be art. If you love art in all shapes and forms, make your interior look like a work of art as well. In this case, we recommend opting for an eclectic décor. Why is that? Because it lets you combine designs in completely different styles without worrying about clashing shapes and colours. Eclectic interiors daringly mix old and new, minimalism and maximalism, energetic colours and subtle shades – in short: the style creates a beautiful composition out of things that otherwise have no right working together. A photo gallery in the hallway featuring various artistic designs is a perfect way to achieve that wow effect with an eye-catching decorative element as soon as you enter the door. Don’t be afraid of unusual combinations – you can hang an abstract portrait right next to line art and surround a floral motif with images of distant planets. 

If you love art in all shapes and forms, make sure that your interior looks like a work of art as well (1. Scandinavian-style poster, 2. Animal at night poster, 3. Line art poster, 4. Saturn poster, 5. Tulip poster, 6. Geometric poster, 7. Abstract portrait) - myloview.com

Gallery wall is one of the most interesting trends that have emerged in recent years. It gives you a lot of freedom in designing your own, unique living spaces. When you decide to create a gallery wall, forget about limitations. Become an artist and envision your own composition of posters that has never been seen before.
