A gallery wall layout sits between that pile on the floor and a group that looks deliberate, and most of the work is measurement and paper rather than taste.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the order that works. Run a tape over the wall and over the piece of furniture beneath it, choose a shape from six common options, settle the gaps and the height, pick frames that tie the pictures together, then fix everything to the wall in one session. The figures below are guides rather than rules, and every one of them is worth breaking for a reason.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cheat-sheet\" style=\"background:#f8f6f3;border-left:4px solid #c9a96e;padding:20px 24px;margin:28px 0;\">\n<p><strong>The short version<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Measure the wall and the sofa, bed or sideboard beneath it before you order a single frame.<\/li>\n<li>Judge the arrangement as one picture, with the middle of the whole shape at roughly eye level, not the middle of each frame.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the gaps identical, often somewhere between 5 and 8 cm, and let the group span roughly two thirds of the furniture&#8217;s width below.<\/li>\n<li>Choose among six shapes: pair, row of three, grid, salon group, staircase run or a lean on a mantel.<\/li>\n<li>Carry one finish through the whole group, whether that is oak look, black or white, so different pictures look related.<\/li>\n<li>Begin with the biggest frame and build outward, checking level after each piece goes up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Plan the wall before you buy a frame<\/h2>\n<p>The first tool is a tape measure, not a shopping basket. Write down the width of the wall and the width of the sofa, bed, sideboard or hallway table that will sit beneath the group, and keep both numbers where you can see them while you choose. Art that runs wider than its furniture appears to float, so the group should always finish inside the edge of the piece below it. A rough guide is to let the group reach about two thirds of that furniture&#8217;s width. It is not a rule, but it is a useful ceiling when the wall is long and the temptation is to fill all of it.<\/p>\n<p>Next, decide the outer edge of the group before you fall for a picture. Treat the whole arrangement as one picture: one shape, one set of gaps, one centre. Once that rectangle is settled, the number of frames becomes a question of what fits inside it rather than how many you own. The <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/categories\/wall-art\">wall art range<\/a> sets the formats and sizes beside each other, so you can see what a 30 x 40 cm or a 70 x 100 cm piece measures in real numbers before anything is ordered.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:24px auto 20px;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-to-hang-a-gallery-wall-img1-67523c.jpg\" alt=\"Two coastal abstracts above a sideboard, wide teal, olive and cream bands with rust marks, one busy with detail and one open\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Six gallery wall layouts and where each one suits<\/h2>\n<p>A layout is the shape the group makes on the wall, and six shapes cover most rooms. Choose by the furniture beneath and by how many pieces you already have, not by a photograph of someone else&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A pair on a shared centre line: two frames side by side, with the same gap between them, which suits a narrow stretch of wall or the space above a small sideboard.<\/li>\n<li>A row of three along one line: the pair idea extended, with matching spacing so the eye reads a single line rather than three separate pictures.<\/li>\n<li>A grid: same-size frames with equal gaps in both directions, which works when the pictures are similar and the wall is wide.<\/li>\n<li>A salon group of mixed sizes: the outer edges form a rough rectangle and the pieces fill the space inside it, which suits a collection built over years.<\/li>\n<li>A staircase run: pieces step up beside the stairs, each one sitting a little higher than the last and following the slope.<\/li>\n<li>A lean on a mantel or shelf: two or three pieces resting on the surface and overlapping slightly, which needs no hook at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:24px auto 20px;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-to-hang-a-gallery-wall-fig_layouts-a33147.png\" alt=\"Six gallery wall layouts: a pair on a shared centre line, a row of three along one line, a grid, a salon group of mixed sizes, a staircase run and a lean on a mantel or shelf\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Those last two options are where ready-made pairs and sets earn their place. With <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/categories\/gallery-wall-sets\">gallery wall sets<\/a> you settle the size, the finish and the format once, and every artwork in the group prints to that same combination, so the wall looks chosen in one go rather than assembled in stages. A nursery pair does the same job on a narrow stretch of wall, with a single set of options covering both pieces. Where a wall wants a theme, <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/categories\/range-and-reef\">Range &amp; Reef<\/a> pieces are sold one at a time, so three or four places gathered over a year still read as a group without a shared colour scheme.<\/p>\n<h2>Spacing and height: the two numbers to settle first<\/h2>\n<p>Even gaps do more for a mixed group than any single frame choice. Pick a distance between frames and repeat it at every join, including the outer edges: a common figure is about 5 to 8 cm. A tight gap in one place and a wide one in another, and the wall goes back to reading as separate pictures. Height follows the same logic. What matters is the middle of the group as a whole, not the middle of any one frame, and one widely used figure is roughly 145 to 150 cm from the floor. Both numbers are starting points. High ceilings, a low sofa and a room you mostly see from a doorway will all argue for adjusting them.<\/p>\n<p>Then mark the whole layout before a drill appears. Cut paper to match each frame, stick the sheets up with tape in the finished arrangement, and pencil the hook position onto each sheet while it is in place. Leave the paper there for a day and look at it from the doorway, from the sofa and from the hallway. Paper moves in seconds. A hook does not.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:24px auto 20px;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-to-hang-a-gallery-wall-img2-814ad9.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of ocean prints on a mantel, a sandstone headland curving round a turquoise pool beside deep blue lanes of water\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Gallery wall frames that tie mixed pictures together<\/h2>\n<p>One finish carried through the whole group is the quiet trick that ties unrelated pictures together. Repeat the same profile and colour and the eye stops counting frames and starts reading the wall. The <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/categories\/framed-wall-art\">framed wall art<\/a> here uses a thin 20 mm frame, offered in oak look, black or white, with perspex in front rather than glass, which also keeps a large frame light enough to lift onto a hook. The print sits straight in the profile with nothing around it, and a white mount can be added if you want breathing room around the image. Which colour to pick depends on what the room already holds: an oak look tone sits comfortably with timber floors and cream walls, black gives a firmer edge against a dark wall, and white disappears into pale paint.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing canvas and framed pieces on one wall can work, but not inside a single set. Buy a set and every piece follows one choice: the same format, the same finish, the same size. If you want an A3 framed print beside a 50 x 70 cm canvas, order them as two single pieces, each printed from its own file at the options you set on its own page. Canvas arrives with no glazing and nothing around the edge unless a float frame is added, so the difference reads as contrast rather than error when the canvas is the anchor and the framed pieces sit around it.<\/p>\n<h2>Mixing sizes without losing the shape<\/h2>\n<p>Begin with the biggest piece on the wall and build away from it. That frame is the anchor, and everything else falls into place around it: same centre line, even gaps, outer edges landing where you planned them. Sizes run from A4 at 21 x 29.7 cm up to 70 x 100 cm, and the pairings in our room photos are a fair place to start. Two 50 x 70 cm canvases fill the space above a sofa. A4 and A3 framed prints resting together on a mantel make an easy pairing to test before a nail goes anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>A landscape piece turns the same size on its side, so a 50 x 70 cm picture becomes 70 cm wide and 50 cm high without moving up a size class. That swap matters when you are filling a long gap under a high ceiling or squeezing a piece between a doorway and a corner. Reading the measurements beats guessing at them, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/poster-sizes-for-walls-and-frames\">poster sizes guide<\/a> lists them format by format. Whatever size you land on, check the preview crop before you order, because the crop shown is the crop that prints.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:24px auto 20px;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/how-to-hang-a-gallery-wall-img3-02b8ea.jpg\" alt=\"A float-framed canvas over a lounge, a winding path crossing a cliff top of grass and stone with open water beyond\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Hang it once, without a wall of spare holes<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Cut a paper template for every frame and tape the full arrangement to the wall.<\/li>\n<li>Pencil the hook position onto each template while it is taped up, using the back of its frame to work out the drop from the top edge.<\/li>\n<li>Put up the anchor piece first, which is the biggest one in the group.<\/li>\n<li>Move outward from the anchor, one piece at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Check level as you go, and stand back after each piece before starting the next.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Framed prints arrive ready to hang, so there is no assembly step between the parcel and the wall. Canvas is different: it ships without hanging hardware, so you need a fixing that suits your wall, whether that wall is plasterboard, brick or timber. Match the fixing to the wall rather than to the artwork, and for anything large, ask someone to hold the piece while you set the hook.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>How big should the gap be between frames on a gallery wall?<\/h3>\n<p>A common gap is about 5 to 8 cm between frames, kept the same across the whole group. Even spacing does more for a mixed wall than matching frames, because the eye reads the rhythm of the gaps before it reads the pictures. Choose a number in that range and use it at every join, including the outer edges. Try it on paper templates first, since a gap that looks right on the floor can read differently once the pieces are upright.<\/p>\n<h3>How high should a gallery wall hang?<\/h3>\n<p>Set the height from the middle of the group rather than from each frame, and a figure you will see quoted often is about 145 to 150 cm from the floor, which lands the group around eye level. Treat it as a starting point. Ceiling height, the furniture below and where you actually stand to look at the wall all pull the number up or down. Tape the full arrangement up in paper first, at the height you have chosen.<\/p>\n<h3>Should gallery wall frames match?<\/h3>\n<p>One finish repeated across the group is the simplest way to tie different pictures together, and it does more work than any other single decision. The 20 mm frame comes in oak look, black or white, so there are only three choices to settle on. If you want canvas and framed prints on the same wall, order those as separate pieces: a set keeps its format, frame finish and size identical throughout.<\/p>\n<h3>What size gallery wall goes above a sofa?<\/h3>\n<p>Two 50 x 70 cm canvases placed side by side is the pairing shown in our room photos, and it covers a wide wall without crowding it. A single 70 x 100 cm canvas spans a similar width. Whatever the combination, stay narrower than the sofa itself: a group that overshoots the furniture underneath reads as unsupported. Aim for roughly two thirds of the sofa&#8217;s width as a ceiling, then check the preview crop on each piece before you order.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I mix canvas and framed prints on one wall?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, as long as you order them as separate listings. A set prints to one choice, so every artwork in it shares a format, a finish and a size. An A3 framed print beside a 50 x 70 cm canvas means two single pieces, each with its own page and its own set of options. Canvas has no glazing, and a float frame is the only thing that puts a border around it, so plan the fixings and the look together.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I plan a gallery wall when renting?<\/h3>\n<p>Lean instead of fixing. A mantel, shelf or sideboard takes two or three pieces overlapping slightly, and nothing goes into the wall. It also lets you test an arrangement before you commit to it. If you do want pieces fixed, read what the tenancy agreement says or ask the agent who manages the property. Paper templates taped up are just as useful in a rental, because they show the full shape and the gaps without a single hole.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How big should the gap be between frames on a gallery wall?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"A common gap is about 5 to 8 cm between frames, kept the same across the whole group.
