Bringing Life to Your Space with a Gallery Wall

There are many different design trends and styles that people either love or hate. When it comes to designing and decorating a room, it’s hard to please everyone. One look that is increasingly popular in many homes and apartments is having a gallery wall in your space.

A gallery wall is comprised of an assortment of artwork, pictures, or décor objects that are clustered on one wall. A gallery wall is a simple way to give your home a meaningful and personal touch. When it comes to creating your gallery wall, you can go for either a casual or a formal look.

 

A casual look will include a mix of different colored and sized frames, and the frames will have an organic shape. A formal look typically has frames of the same color and size, and will be of uniform shape.

 

 

The pictures can be symmetrical and far apart, or they can be arranged closer together so they appear to be as one.

 

The Beautiful Look of Monograms

Monograms are a long-time southern tradition that brings charm to your home, furnishings, or apparel. When monogramming is done just right, the looks can be beautiful, elegant and luxurious, but when it’s over the top, it just appears to be too much.

To make sure that your monograms are the perfect touch of elegance the easiest rule of thumb to follow is to keep the design simple and let the effect be subtle. Some of the easy design touches of monograms are found on linens and bath towels, pillowcases and blankets as well as aprons. These simple touches easily bring personality to your accessories without being over the top.

 Upscale versions of monograms are being printed on luxury purses and clutches, along with dining room chairs. Both of these bring a simple touch of elegance and personalize your home and belongings. When it comes to monogramming dining room chairs, a simple tone-on-tone looks beautiful when you use a stitching that has a sheen to it.

Do you think that monogramming has gone too far, or is it a look that you love?
