4. Create Templates

Visualizing your completed gallery wall may be a bit difficult, especially if you have a large quantity of frames. By using templates, you can get a view of how the completed wall will look. Begin by tracing your frames onto wrapping or butcher paper and cutting them out. Then, using painter’s tape, attach the templates to the wall to plot out your vision. Make adjustments and experiment with different arrangements until you are satisfied with the look and feel of your gallery wall. It’s a quick, no-risk way to make sure your wall comes out clean, not cluttered. When deciding on your templates placements, keep measurements consistent and placements balanced. And above all, don’t start hammering until you’re satisfied!
