Gallery Wall Tips & Ideas

How to create an amazing feature wall

Gallery-Wall-Inspiration

Gallery wall art will fill your bare walls with life. Pictures inside beautiful frames seem to whisper amongst themselves. They are also elegant and eye-catching. If you are an art enthusiast, but are constrained by a budget, then creating your own gallery art is the perfect answer to your creative sensibilities.

Usually, when browsing through a home décor magazine or on the Internet you will see walls filled with pictures from top to bottom, and it looks like a big undertaking. So if you’ve got lots of time and money at hand, go for it. However, if you are limited in both, here are a few gallery wall tips that will give wings to your creativity.

These adorable little chairs are easily stacked and are perfect for children aged three and up.

Faux Animal Décor: dear, bison and more!

Animals Heads Wall Hanging

Animals-Heads-1

Our latest find on Etsy is a very peculiar shop, like no others: White Faux Taxidermy is the creation of Marcos and Paislea, a couple from Colorado brought together for their love of animals.

They create resin animal heads to hang on walls, the heads are in white resin and they can come with colored horns for a funky twist.

We came across WFT while searching Etsy for ideas on what to hang on the portion of wall above the television. We didn’t want any artworks or prints on that wall and while I like the idea of a deer head wall hanging I find the real thing a bit creepy….but a white resin version is just perfect, it’s new but with a vintage feel; we love the deer head with colored antlers, you can choose the colour you want to match your décor.

Some of the heads are entirely painted and some others are even glittery!

The heads come in different sizes too, you can put a couple together to create a feature wall.

There are plenty of styles available, deer, bison, moose or elephants too meet anyone’s taste.

Prices are very affordable and they ship to Australia!
