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?

naked wall syndrome

Living Room with Grey Walls

I love my living room — it’s the room in which I spend most of my time — but it’s suffering from Naked Wall Syndrome. J and I have been in this house for over a year and a half, and I hardly have anything up on the walls. I’m determined to change that this summer while he is deployed. However, I could use some help determining what to put where. Click over to my post on Elizabeth Anne Designs Living to weigh in on what I should hang in my living room. Please don’t be shy — I need your help!
