decorating Q: gallery wall
I wrote about my living room’s naked walls a couple of weeks ago over on Elizabeth Anne Designs Living and have been pondering what to hang ever since.
I’ve always loved the idea of a gallery wall but could never decide where one might go in my house. Then, while scrolling through Design*Sponge’s round-up of gallery walls, it hit me — how about over my couch? It couldn’t be an expansive gallery wall, but it may be more interesting than simply hanging a larger print in the space between the two windows.
(And yes, I’m still considering hanging picture rails on the outside of the windows, but I’m having a hard time making a commitment. Dark wood or metal?)
What do you think, design-savvy readers? Would it work, or do you think it would be too much going on in such a small space/on one wall?

I have an example of an inexpensive gallery of poster prints over a couch that I think you might find intriguing here http://bit.ly/btnZY7
Right now I think your room is a bit off balance in the far right corner (the one with lonely floor lamp sitting in it) is there something I can’t see in the room that left this area…blank?
The wall color is lovely by the way.
Thanks for the link to that image! Nope, you are right — that is a big blank wall between the side table and the standing silver lamp. I need to figure out how to fill it.
I think if scaled properly, a gallery wall over your couch could look very nice. I’ve been wanting to do a gallery wall in my stairwell, but I’m nervous about how all of the plaster will hold up!
