How to Create a Gallery Wall on a Low Budget
- Choose Your Theme or Style
- Decide if you want photos, art prints, quotes, or a mix.
- Stick to a color scheme or style for cohesion.
- Use Printable Art
- Download free or inexpensive digital prints from sites like Etsy, Unsplash, or Canva.
- Print at home or at local copy shops on quality paper.
- Repurpose & DIY Frames
- Use thrifted frames or spray-paint old frames to match your theme.
- Frame fabric, wallpaper scraps, or even pages from magazines/books.
- Mix Frame Styles and Sizes
- Variety adds interest without needing perfect matching.
- Plan Your Layout on the Floor First
- Arrange frames on the floor before hanging to find the best composition.
