Alternatives to the Gallery Wall

I'm still seeing gallery walls like the one below everywhere, and I still like them.


But you can't put a gallery display on every single wall in your house or you're gonna look like a crazy person. Here are some other ideas to fill those empty walls. Framed wallpaper.


Enlarge family photos and frame - those are Ikea frames!


Display 9 matching frames in a grid.


Shelves or picture ledges.

  1. All of these pictures are nice but I have no idea what they were of because all I could think about when I was looking at them were the faint, dainty stripes on the ceiling in the second picture.

    It ruined all other pictures for me, ever.

  4. LOVE those Ikea frames! Simple and gorgeous. That grid also looks amazing, but I find it impossible to get them all even.

    Nice post.

  5. I love checking out your site for great decorating ideas - Love the frame displays I am thinking about doing this in my dining room eventually. Right now I am currently redoing my daughters room and you always find gorgeous area rugs. Could you list some of the sites you browse through? Thanks in advance - Mandy

  6. I have always loved lots of photos on the walls. It just makes it feel like home and brings so much memories. Family photos are best.

  7. I love the shelves with pictures on them! It wouldn't work for me just quite yet though - my kids would find them as toys! Maybe in about 20 years when they're all gone! Thanks for sharing :)

  9. Love these ideas! I have a HUGE blank wall that runs along the length of my house connecting my living and dining room that I'm having the hardest time deciding on what to put up. I have a wall gallery going up my stairs already that you can easily see from the living room so I really don't want to go on gallery wall overload and these are great alternatives.

    P.S. I didn't know Ikea sold those frames in such a large size! Another reason for me to be totally Ikea obsessed!!

  10. I like the large frames from IKEA. Simple and organized. They do not look like gallery-types of frame. We also have ledges in the living room, on the window areas but they are used to display flower pots and vases.
