Though the gallery wall has roots as far back as Europe in the 1600s, the term first saw its most recent surge in interest in the 2010s. Since then, it's waxed and waned in popularity, and taken on all sorts of forms, but a collection of art pieces remains an ideal way to add a bit of cluttercore charm to any space. British designer Rita Konig is the reigning queen of the gallery wall. (If youve pinned it on Pinterest, she probably hung it, though the collection in the photo above was curated by Watts Design House. ) Here are her Rita's for an effortlessly elegant arrangement, inspired by the perfectly imperfect English salon aesthetic.Frame to the PictureA wall will look more layered and authentic if you pick frames for the specific artwork rather than the wall as a whole. Hang to the Furniture (Or the Floor!)You want the pictures to gravitate to the furniture or floor as opposed to floating out there on their own.Mind the "Avenues"Dont let your wall look like a map of Manhattan. Anytime you start seeing too long of a road, put up a roadblock to keep the overall look loose, not stiff or gridded.Start Small Its better to begin with a few pieces you love in a tight jammed in arrangement and to slowly evolve outward/upward from the floor or furniture as opposed to buying filler or props to round out a space. For whatever reason, filler will always feel like filler, Rita says. More English-Inspired Decor Ideas:
