Hanging photographs, artwork, drawings and prints is an instant, budget-friendly way of updating a wall space with a whole new look that’s brimming with style. Whether you choose to focus your display on the wall above the bed, behind the sofa, along the stairs or in the downstairs toilet, spend time thinking about what you want to showcase and how you want to arrange it. Experiment with colour, style and accessories to create a gallery wall that’s unique to you.
Frame the kids’ artwork
Instead of keeping some of their more treasured paintings and drawings stored away in a cupboard, create a gallery wall that’s bursting with colour using your favourites for all to see. It’s a great idea for a playroom or living space and can easily be updated with their latest creations to keep the wall fresh and exciting.

Hang wallpaper samples
Create a statement wall by framing samples of wallpaper for a colourful and stylish display. Choose designs of a similar style; for example, florals, leafy or abstract styles, or find a palette that can be carried across all of the samples. By working with a theme or colour, your finished wall will look more considered and thought out. You can then pick colours from the wallpaper samples to highlight around the room, in soft furnishings and accessories, to help to tie the scheme together.
