These Art Sets Are The Easiest Way To Set Up A Gallery Wall
Gallery walls have come to signify a certain level of design togetherness that many apartment- and home-dwellers can only aspire to. For folks who have just managed to upgrade from IKEA furniture for the first time, a gallery wall can feel a little out of reach — we're suddenly supposed to have an eclectic yet cohesive art collection carefully accumulated over time AND frames for all of those things?
But, luckily, there's newfound hope for gallery wall hopefuls. A spate of "gallery wall sets" have popped up lately that look effortlessly chic. While there is an endless array of options, the color schemes we've found are versatile yet on-trend, with subject matters that runs the gamut from cool abstract shapes to typography-heavy styles, creating a well-cultured, cohesive look that you can attain with one click. (No rummaging through art fairs or flea markets required.)
Framed or unframed, they cut a lot of time out of the process — and, of course, you can always swap them out with treasured keepsakes and family photos as time goes on.
