#PICTURE WALL LIVING ROOM TV#
After measuring, I realized that I wanted my TV to be an organic part of the wall, so I chose a layout that featured various frame shapes, with the largest print sitting at 70 X 100 cm (didn’t think about weight, but more on that below). This led to me using a tape measure to find out how much space I had to take up. Then, looked through various poster configurations with visible measurements. I walked through the steps and chose a background for my wall. Then, to make things even easier, a drop-down menu appeared and a Gallery Wall Tool was there to make my life so much simpler! Much to my delighted surprise, the first thing I noticed upon entering the website are the words “Gallery Wall” in the top menu. Therefore, in a true lazy fashion, I opted to shop online first and only hit the stores as a last resort. Luckily, I remembered that one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Jenee’ of, shared a gallery wall she created for her previous apartment using Desenio. Also, I had no desire to spend time going through various shops around town to only have to return to said shops and hope what I sought was still there when I went back. Obviously, I knew much more about what I wanted than what was actually available to me. The inspiration was in place and ideas abound, but I really had no idea where to start. My indoor jungle adds a lot of greenery and texture to my living room, so I aimed for texture with frames and less color saturation. Instead, a more abstract configuration and textures are what I desired for this space. If possible, I knew I wanted movement and my love for the arts to be displayed somewhere within this picture collage.Īlso, I did not want a lot of uniformity. Also, I wanted this installation to include various sizes of frames because the wall directly across from it has lots of structure and family photos.
I knew that my living room space needed a bit of blue on at least one wall to incorporate the blue from my dining chairs just a few feet away. Matter of fact, I began this project by pinning various images and only became more confused about what I wanted for the end result. However, I was intimidated by this project because I know the choices out there for prints, frames, and configurations are endless.
#PICTURE WALL LIVING ROOM INSTALL#
You see, I knew from the first time I saw the big space above my television that I wanted to install a gallery wall.
Unlike a picture wall, the gallery wall I was hoping to create consists of a set of frames with art prints inspired by my interests. Having lived in this apartment for over a year, I am finally getting around to decorating, starting with a living room gallery wall.
