A gallery wall can add so much character and depth to your home, while also displaying your life, interests and personal style. It can be a collection of favourite photos, prints you love, mirrors, wall hangings and even artwork from the kids. The key is to create balance, visual interest and personality with your curation — which is just a fancy way of saying the way you arrange your art on the walls.
