An eclectic gallery wall is a brilliant departure from a traditional gallery wall filled with symmetry. While gallery walls in general are a great tool for decorating blank spaces, an eclectic wall allows for more creativity and less uniformity.
There is something about asymmetry in home décor that is very freeing. Your space will be infinitely more stunning if you think outside the box. An eclectic gallery wall is made up of various sizes and styles of frames, and sometimes includes wall-mounted objects that fit the theme. Depending on the look you are going for, you can fill your frames with black and white images, vibrant pictures, paintings, artwork, or even a beloved poem or two. These gallery walls are perfect for neglected hallways, staircase walls, or any other bare wall that needs some attention.
Our collection of images below will help show you how to create the ultimate eclectic gallery wall!
