A Gallery Wall Set You Can Make On Your Own
Picture frames are an expensive décor item that aren’t always timeless. Before you go out and buy another set of frames to keep up with the latest trends, consider the changing the finish of the ones you already have! And if you don’t have any frames on hand, check out your local thrift stores to find some frames for great prices. I wanted to add a small gallery wall set to my daughter’s big girl room where I’ve been playing with patterns, colors and textures. I’m using her comforter (which I don’t love if I’m being honest) as a color guide and I needed to pull in the mustard color. So, I used that as the base color for the gallery wall.
Painting Ideas for Picture Frames
Instead of doing multiple different colors for the gallery wall set I chose different shades of mustard so it wouldn’t feel overwhelming. There is already a lot going on in the room and while I wanted this area on the wall to be equally as fun, I’m not trying to make my already crazy toddler any crazier, ha!
4 frames seemed like a good number – not too many but not going to look scarce on the wall either. I happened to have the fames in my “future projects Pile.” If you’re new here, my husband can’t figure out why our “to donate” pile only seems to keep growing but never makes it to the goodwill. Please keep my secret.
I wanted one pattern – stripes, one smooth and solid color – but make it wavy so it’s fun, and two textured – the bobbin frame and frame with existing texture.
I have in depth tutorials on how I did each one if you’re interested but see how they all came together below!
Painting picture frames is such an easy and inexpensive way to add a pop of color to any room. Check out the other tutorials to learn how I transformed these basic frames into an eye-catching gallery wall!
