There’s something magical about a gallery wall.
It’s not just a décor trend — it’s a way to turn an empty space into a personal masterpiece that tells your story. Whether you live in a cosy apartment or a spacious home, a well-curated gallery wall can transform your room into a warm, inviting, and stylish space.
Here at Cozy Prints, we’ve helped countless customers in the U.K. bring their walls to life with our high-quality, unique art prints. Today, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of creating the perfect gallery wall — and yes, we’ll show you how our prints can make it even easier.
Step 1: Find Your Wall’s Purpose
Before you start, think about what you want your gallery wall to say.
Do you want it to be:
A reflection of your travels?
A family photo display?
A bold, modern art statement?
A cosy mix of calming nature prints?
💡 Tip: Many Cozy Prints customers choose a theme-based gallery wall — like botanical prints for the bedroom or city skylines for the living room — because it creates a sense of harmony.
Step 2: Choose Your Colour Palette
A gallery wall works best when it feels cohesive.
Pick a colour palette that complements your furniture, wall colour, and the overall mood you want in the room.
Neutral & Calming: Soft beige, cream, and warm brown prints.
Vibrant & Energetic: Bold reds, yellows, and contrasting black frames.
Modern Minimalist: Black-and-white photography or monochrome prints.
✨ At Cozy Prints, our collections are organised by style and colour, so you can easily shop for prints that blend beautifully together.
Step 3: Decide on the Layout
Before hammering any nails, plan your layout.
Lay your frames on the floor or use masking tape on the wall to visualise the arrangement.
Popular gallery wall layouts:
Symmetrical Grid – Perfect for a clean, modern look.
Organic Cluster – A relaxed mix of frame sizes and art styles.
Linear Arrangement – All frames aligned along a central line for a chic, minimalist style.
📌 Pro Tip: Start with the largest piece in the centre and build around it with smaller prints.
Step 4: Mix Sizes & Orientations
A stunning gallery wall often includes a mix of:
Large Statement Pieces – Eye-catching prints that anchor the design.
Medium Prints – To fill in the balance.
Small Accent Prints – To add charm and detail.
At Cozy Prints, we offer most designs in multiple sizes, so you can create the exact balance you want.
Step 5: Frame It Right
Frames are just as important as the prints themselves.
Classic Look: Black or white frames for a timeless style.
Rustic Feel: Wooden frames to add warmth.
Modern Touch: Metal or coloured frames for a fresh, contemporary vibe.
We recommend sticking to two frame colours for a cohesive appearance.
Step 6: Add a Personal Touch
Your gallery wall should feel like you. Mix in:
Personal photographs
Inspirational quotes
Small 3D objects like mini shelves or plants
Cozy Prints offers custom quote prints, so you can include your own words in the design.
Step 7: Hang with Precision
Spacing matters. Keep 5–8 cm between each frame for a balanced look. Use a spirit level to make sure everything is aligned — nothing ruins a gallery wall like a wonky picture.
Step 8: Stand Back & Enjoy
Once it’s all up, take a step back and admire your new statement wall. You’ll notice how it instantly makes your space feel more inviting, personal, and stylish.
