I have arranged two gallery walls in past apartments we have lived in. The first was in our office, the second was in a hallway. With the guest bedroom in our new Denver home ready to be put together, my mind has been going to thoughts of gallery walls much bigger and grander than my first arrangements. I have accumulated a lot of vintage artwork and prints from various thrifting adventures, in addition to larger framed pieces. I love the overall look of a gallery wall and am excited to play around with the new space.
When I put together my first little gallery, I decided on black, white, and a mix of wood frames, all of various sizes. I had a few to start, but I actually made a trip to HomeGoods found the rest in one trip. Matt was such a trooper as I must have looked crazy laying all these frames out in the aisle floor to play of the store until I was happy with my selection (hey, you do what you need to when you are a visual person).

What do you favor, neutral toned frames, a bold and colorful mix, monochromatic themes? Thin frames, chunky frames, barely there floating frames? Do you have a gallery wall in your home? Do tell!
{post update: officially, my second bedroom walls have turned into a gallery, you can see them here}
I have a gallery wall in our study with family pictures...I tend to go with basic black frames...they don't have to match...just black and not too chunky.
