Going Vertical with Your Home Decor

Finding fun and unique ways to display the items you love can be a great way to show off your style and personality. Creating a gallery wall filled with photos, art, and objects that you already have is a perfect way to add style to your home décor.

Create your gallery wall in a way that will make it a showcase in your home.

The best way to do this is to go vertical. Don’t just think about the small wall space that you see while standing and looking at one art piece as usual. Use as much of the wall from top to bottom as possible. This vertical use of space, like a vertical vignette, not only showcases much more of your personal things but it makes a room feel larger.

The further you can have the eye go up and down, the larger your space will feel.

The best way to construct a collage of wall art is to gather the things you love. This wall space consists of a skate poster, painted music art, t-shirts wrapped around a canvas, and used drum heads. It gives the sense of who the person is and what he/she loves.

Choose a wall that’s a good fit to display your beloved items.

Choose a wall in your home that you know isn’t so big that filling it up will be hard. Instead, choose a wall that is smaller. For instance, choose the wall between two rooms, or beside the stairs. A wall that can still showcase your things but will still look great filled vertically. Then just fill it with the items you have collected.

A great tip for deciding what items in your collage wall should be hung where is to lay everything out on the floor the way you want it on the wall. Then, play with it by moving things around to see what feels best to you. Now look around your house to see what you have in order to go vertical in your gallery wall.
