Where To Find Art for a Gallery Wall
Finding the Perfect Art for Your Home
Creating a gallery wall in your home is a great way to express your personal style and add character to your living space.
This post is designed to guide you through the process of finding and choosing the perfect art pieces for your gallery wall, with a special focus on various artists, including June Hunter, whose crow, raven, and hummingbird prints are perfect for such projects.
How to Find Art for Your Gallery Wall
Finding wall art for your gallery wall can be a fun adventure.
Begin by considering your personal taste and the theme of your space. Art fairs, local galleries, Etsy, and online shops like this one are great starting points.
Look for pieces that reflect your style, complement your room's colour scheme, and create the right feeling. If you want to start looking for art and getting ideas for your space without too much effort, then Instagram can be a great place to find artists.
Types of Art for a Gallery Wall
Gallery walls can feature a mix of photography, paintings, prints, and even three-dimensional objects such as mirrors or baskets.
The key is diversity in size, colour, and medium, which creates an engaging and dynamic display. Consider a mix of landscapes, abstracts, portraits, and figurative art to add depth and interest. Also consider adding decals, mirrors, shelves or other objects.
However, if you want to go all in one one particular theme, feel free! You can create dramatic gallery walls by focusing on a single theme and going wild with it.
