A gallery wall makes the heart smile. Especially when it showcases so much of your favourite art!
If you're like me then you may or may not get a bit...uhh, high strung (?) when it comes to hanging art and finding that perfect ahhhh-like placement. One option I've seen is to create paper cutouts that correspond to the shapes and sizes of your frames then arrange them on the wall using tape. But if you're like me, you're way too lazy for any of that.
So here's what I did. After arranging all of my framed artwork on the floor and playing with their placement, I hung one of the centre frames on the wall. I then stuck easy-to-remove painters tape around the art to help guide the placement of the surrounding frames. Using the painter's tape was such an easy way to maintain an organized yet relaxed feel to my gallery wall. Is also helped make sure each subsequent frame was level...or at least as level as the first frame! ...They all look straight, right?
