A gallery wall, especially one with various scales, textures and colours helps accentuate the height in a small space.

In this soft, elegant space, the colours of the display (including frames) picks up beautifully on the colours in the room.

Temporary ways to hang art.
Add texture to a colourful focal wall with a collection of neutral coloured frames.
Break up an expansive wall and tell a story with framed family photos along a stairwell. Echo the curve of the stairs by pairing your frames in a relatively uniform row.
- Trace your frames onto paper and play around with your layout on the floor before you hang anything up.
- Aim for a minimum of 5cm space between each frame; try to keep the spacing consistent.
- Be daring – you can add a number of items to a gallery wall – jewellery, bowls, hanging plants, even magazine or album covers.
