Gallery walls have been a trendy way to add art to a room for years. But as time passes, features either become classic and timeless or begin looking outdated. And the fate of those details lies in the hands of both designers and consumers. So when it comes to gallery wall collections – do what makes you happy! Don’t worry so much about trends.

As for trends go contemporary collections are definitely on the rise. Fewer pieces, around 3-5 are ideal. Higher-end framing or artwork also gives an air of sophistication. Look for unique framing, matting, and hand-painted details. Place pairs or small sets in balanced arrangements, with just one to two focal points.
