Tiny Mighty Frames provided frames to facilitate this post. I was not financially compensated for this post and all thoughts, opinions, and ideas are my own.
Gallery walls are trending in home decor and I am all about it. I love seeing a variety of artwork or photos arranged in a beautiful collage. In my own home, displaying several family photos and cherished memories brings me joy, so the fact that it’s what the cool kids are doing makes me nerd out.
Most days, people take their family photos with their iPhones and then Instagram them and that’s where they stay, but I like to rotate out prints of our family photos from Instagram and put them in small displays like this DIY Clothespin Gallery wall in my master bedroom. Our living room is pretty dated and as much as I treasure my display of thrifted finds, it needed an overhaul and I wanted to display some of our favorite family memories over our loveseat.
When I found Tiny Mighty Frames, I loved the modern and clean look of their frames. The basic styles allow the photos to shine. And since they cater to square prints, they make it a cinch to create a gorgeous gallery wall using their frames.
Lover of white, I went with white on white frames and ordered twenty to create a grid gallery above my living room loveseat. I ordered all my prints from Origrami since they were one of the only places I could find who printed in the size I wanted.
When ordering the prints for this display, I wanted to make sure I had individual photos of each child, group photos, and a few artsy photos from family events like fourth of July fireworks and scenery during our family trip to Michigan.
And when it was time to hang them, I enlisted my husband’s help. He measured and gridded off our wall to create the gallery design I was dreaming of. A few of the frames ended up crooked or tweaked because of the center hooks they hang from, but I secured the bottoms evenly using some sticky tack.
This is now one of my most favorite wall displays in my home. Since it’s simple and quick to order prints directly from Instagram these days, it will be easy to switch out the photos whenever I feel like it and as the kiddos get older and we create more family memories.
Follow my family and me during our daily life an adventures via the Our Holly Days Instagram. And for your own family gallery wall, be sure to visit Tiny Mighty Frames to make it a project you’ll love and enjoy.
