"Christine Higgs from @forthehome shared her process for changing up her gallery wall for the season without totally overhauling the entire space. Her first step was tracing her collection of frames onto craft paper so she knew the exact measurements of the pieces already hung. Doing so can be helpful to note the sizes of your frames and makes finding art so much easier. The project then delivers some serious DIY magic!"
"The key to creating Higgs' adorable Valentine's Day gallery wall look is to source themed greeting cards and chic art. From there, you'll work on creating a DIY gingham photo mat to add visual cohesion, before sprinkling in non-themed pieces within the same color scheme to keep the wall looking organic. Once everything was on the wall, Higgs then added a few pink and red bows to enhance the Valentine's Day theme without going overboard."
""First time ever making a Valentine's Day gallery wall, and I am in love!" Higgs wrote in her Instagram caption. "Feeling super inspired by V-Day this year, so I decided to just go for it. I guess you can say love is in the air LOL." She described the finished product as "so cozy and cute," adding, "I had so much fun doing a few art DIYs ... and added the cutest lil dainty ribbon to some of the 'non Valentine's' pieces.""
Trace existing frames onto craft paper to record exact measurements and make art placement and selection easier. Source themed greeting cards and chic art to introduce subtle seasonal motifs. Create DIY gingham photo mats to add visual cohesion across varied pieces. Mix in non-themed prints that share the same color palette to maintain an organic look. Finish with a few pink or red bows placed sparingly to enhance the theme without overwhelming the space. The overall approach yields a cozy, cute, and understated gallery wall suitable for Galentine's or long-term display.
