’s issue of Magnolia Journal — remove all confusion and complications with advice on how to master gallery wall layout. Plus, she shares what makes a gallery wall so special: The unique factor it brings to your home and family.
Need help designing a gallery wall for your space? While she can’t help you physically hang the frames, Joanna Gaines gallery wall tips can help you get started on a must-try decor trend.
Gallery walls might be trendy, but they are also deeply personal. “I’m a firm believer that you’re home should be a reflection of the people living in it. A gallery wall of personal art makes a space come alive, and it’s one of the most literal ways your home can tell a story,” Joanna shared in Magnolia Journal. Whether it’s a sweet note from your partner, a postcard from your honeymoon, or a piece of your kid’s abstract artwork, adding these small yet impactful touches makes gallery walls more than a wall of photos.
If you pick up pieces that aren’t made by you or memories from a trip, keep its timelessness in mind and ensure that it meets your overall style, not just the current home decor trends. Joanna keeps a vintage 57th street sign on her office gallery wall and, to some, it has no meaning and might seem a little trendy. But, to her, it reminds her of when she lived in New York City — on 57th street, no less — and matches her vintage meets modern personal flair.
Your gallery wall doesn’t need to only feature rectangular picture frames. According to Joanna Gaines’ gallery wall tips, adding a variety of shapes can give it more texture and depth. “Think of your own as an exhibit of you and your loved ones — and the myriad of personalities, experiences, and expressions represented in your home,” she notes. “It can be a collection of nearly anything that brings you joy — paintings, prints, architectural pieces, illustrations, typography, photos, book pages, sheet music, and letters, to name a few,” she adds. In addition, she makes a point that some items might seem the least like wall art but, once up there on display, they make a huge statement.
An easy way to add some dimension to your gallery wall is by “placing art on a shelf or ledge,” notes Joanna. Doing so gives it depth, texture, and makes it feel less stagnant.
When deciding on a layout, think about what you are most drawn to. Do you love symmetry? Do you prefer a mix of round and pointed edges? Thinking about these interests can help you better decide if you should go with a complete symmetrical wall, use a mix of round and rectangle frames, add dimension, or want to take a more organic, free-flowing approach.
Reach for a roll of kraft paper (wrapping paper also works!) to trace out each frame and item you plan to hang, then cut to create the templates.
Measure out where the hanger lies on each frame and create a mark for accuracy.
On the floor (or a flat surface) lay out the order in which you want each frame to exist. Once you decide on the arrangement, use painters tape to stick the templates to the wall.
Feel free to move the templates around until you land on the exact formation. Then, hammer nails into the wall (using the marking you made in step three).

Belle Morte Beauty: Robert Piguet Pacific Collection - Sheer Indulgence!
Robert Piguet Pacific Collection - Sheer Indulgence!
The Pacific Collection is the latest release from Robert Piguet following on from the Nouveau Collection.
Pacific Collection features three brand new fragrances inspired by the lush beauty and tropical scents of the Pacific created by renowned perfumer Aurelien Guichard from Grasse who attended the world famous Givaudan school of perfumery.
Chai de Robert Piguet - with bergamot leaves, orange blossom, white tea, honey and yerbamate.
As the name suggests, this fragrance alludes to Hong Kong’s tea culture via rare white tea-leaves which when paired alongside the accompanying notes of bergamot leaves, orange blossom, honey and yerbamate reveal a crisp and radiant personality.
Chai de Robert Piguet opens up on a vivid accord of bergamot leaves and orange blossom. The caressing sweetness of white tea leaves unfolds under the sparkling top notes. A drizzle of honey adds sensual warmth to the composition, with the gentle smoke of yerbamate providing a beautiful, lasting finish.
Chai is a good choice for those of you who love light, but sophisticated perfumes. Citruses, sparkling white floral notes and a reshresing note of tea make for one very cheerful and very clean composition. Soapy light and fresh notes are gravitated to your skin by a warm touch of beeswax.
I think that Chai would make the perfect scent for Spring as it just embodies the fresh, crisp and clean citrus smells I always associate with this time of year.
Blossom de Robert Piguet: Notes of neroli, mandarin,orange flower absolute,bigardier leaves and musk are used to create an effervescent fragrance.
The comparison with champagne is very true, the floral notes give a sparkling happy sensation. The fresh and bubbling beginning lasts long and is layered with developing warm and clean notes of leaves and musk. But you can still smell orange flower. This is a beautiful fragrance for those who love a natural scent reconstructed in a classy perfume.
Blossom is a beautiful scent for day time wear and I think it would be lovely to wear during the summer months.
The final in the Pacific Collection trilogy is Jeunesse.
Jeunesse: (Youth) A fruity floral with notes of black currant, pomegranate, raspberry and musk.
With Jeunesse, Robert Piguet offers a lighthearted and vivacious fragrance that is as elegant as it is tempting. Jeneusse charms with its alluring sweetness and intoxicating floral heart.
Jeunesse is a fresh fruity floral fragrance built on the contrast of sweet (raspberry) and sour (pomegranate) notes. It is my personal favourite and the most intense of all three in the collection.
I love the bright notes of blackcurrant, raspberries, pomegranate and musk in addition to a hint of spice - a gorgeous scent for the evening and night time.
Robert Piguet fragrances remain enduring classics, coveted for their provocative allure and distinctive character.
Each bottle features the distinctive obsidian glass which is nicely set off with a gold atomizer.
The lids also feature the Robert Piguet initialing.
Overall I am absolutely thrilled with these fragrances. They're complex and I love the way the notes blend and fuse together to create something that is truly unique. Throughout the day, as the fragrances wear they tease you with the tantalizing heart and base notes.
Each fragrance is an Eau de Parfum and is a very generous 100mls.
Longevity is outstanding - I've easily been getting 8-10 hours wear without needing to top up later on in the day. Concentrated and intense, yet not overpowering.
Or €168 from Harvey Nichols in Dundrum.Running Man Style: IU
With Red Shoes, Pretty Man, and variety show appearances, girl is busy. This is certain proof that IU did not fall from grace after the Twitter scandal.
Haven't done any "Running Man Styles" in a while huh? I watched most episodes but nothing was very interesting. For me, IU and Park Myung Soo's Running Man episode was so much fun, especially the cage match. A definite watch!
IU's sweater is perfect for Remembrance Day. Need a poppy? Nope, I have some thread on thread on thread. Just need one more to cover the obvious logo.
Anyone recognize the logo? It is Fred Perry's. From afar they may look like poppies, but actually are roses?! The Rose Embroidered Sweater is available here for 85 Pounds.
That is all. Oh actually, one thing... The model looks like a child but isn't. At first, I thought IU was wearing a kid's sweater in the picture above. That would've proved her weight loss successful. My mind changed when I realized asos doesn't stock children's clothing.
