1 CURATED DISPLAY
A gallery wall of artwork is a beautiful way to embrace your creativity and bring personality, scale and interest to a living space. Try not to overthink the process of hanging pictures as a gallery wall. A natural harmony will often reveal itself when you instinctively bring together artworks in a clustered display that you love, advises Emma Pocock of Turner Pocock. "To help create balance in the room, use a key focal point, such as the banquette seat in this image, to judge the ideal width of the hang.' If you're lacking in confidence, try mapping out the design on the floor and playing with combinations until you find one you love.
