There’s no doubt that gallery walls look amazing, but they also require an immense amount of precision and commitment to a specific look. If you’re like me and can’t draw a straight line with a ruler, creating a mini-museum in your living room might seem slightly (insanely) out of reach. Luckily we’ve come up with a sleek and creative way for you to get that gallery look with a much lower commitment level. Here’s a step by step guide that will walk you through creating an easy, eye-catching and noncommittal gallery wall.

Using floating shelves as the base for your decor simplifies your process tenfold. Instead of having to measure and nail 20 holes in the wall, you’ll only need 2 or 4! Shelves like the ones featured above are really easy to find, and generally pretty inexpensive which will leave more cash for the fun part: decoration. We recommend starting a collection on your S6 page, (like this) so that you can see which pieces will look good together. And, if you are into commitment (good for you!) check out this really great how-to guide for a full-scale gallery wall.
