Transform Your Space: How to Create a Stunning Gallery Wall with FOREVER

By FOREVER


Whether you’re showcasing family memories, travel adventures, or milestone celebrations, a well-designed gallery wall brings personality, warmth, and visual interest to your home. With premium printing options from FOREVER.com, including wrapped Canvas Prints and sleek Metal Panels, your photos will stand out with vibrant, lasting quality. Here’s how to design a gallery wall that’s uniquely yours — made with FOREVER.

1. Choose the Right Wall

Look for a space in your home that could use a personal touch—above a couch, along a hallway, in your entryway, or on a staircase landing. A gallery wall naturally draws the eye and creates a focal point, especially when using large-format pieces like FOREVER’s Canvas Prints or Metal Panels.

2. Decide on a Theme or Mood

Before you print, think about the story you want your gallery to tell. Are you celebrating family moments? Creating a wall of your favorite vacation destinations? Mixing candid black-and-white shots with bold, colorful scenery?

Knowing your theme will guide your photo selection and help you decide whether canvas or metal is the best fit for each piece.

3. Select the Perfect Print Format

FOREVER offers two standout ways to elevate your gallery wall:

  • Canvas Prints: These have a warm, classic feel that’s perfect for family portraits, pet photos, and special moments. The canvas texture adds depth and softness, and the wrapped edges create a frameless, gallery-style look.
  • Metal Panels: For a modern, bold effect, FOREVER’s Metal Panels are unbeatable. High-gloss and ultra-durable, they bring out vibrant colors and fine details—perfect for landscapes, cityscapes, and high-contrast photography.

Mix and match both formats for a dynamic wall or stick to one for a clean, cohesive look.

4. Design Your Layout

Start by measuring your wall and sketching a rough layout. Cut out paper templates in the size of each frame and tape them to the wall to finalize your design. Try to maintain consistent spacing (1.5 to 2 inches between frames is a good rule of thumb).

5. Print with FOREVER

Once your layout and photos are chosen, select your print types and sizes. You can even adjust crops and preview to ensure your photos are print-ready using FOREVER’s tools.

6. Hang Like a Pro

When your printed FOREVER wall décor arrives, use a level, measuring tape, and either wall hooks or adhesive strips, depending on your wall surface and print size.

Canvas prints are lightweight and easy to hang, while metal prints come with built-in mounting blocks that make installation a breeze, and give your photos a floating look off the wall.

7. Step Back and Enjoy

Now that your gallery wall is up, take a moment to admire it. Every print is a part of your story, preserved with care and printed to last a lifetime by FOREVER.

Bonus Tip: Update your gallery wall throughout the year—swap in seasonal photos, add new travel memories, or create a rotating display with FOREVER’s print-on-demand flexibility.
