Show me your gallery walls and help me with mine, please!!

[GalleryWallHelp]

I have huge expanses of white walls in my hall and on my landing which I want to fill with a gallery wall. But I don't know where to start. I've trawled Pinterest and the like but the walls on their scare me - so well-curated and very Insta-read

I'd like to see normal people's gallery walls. So please show me yours!

I like quite eclectic gallery walls - a mix of photos, posters, art, different sorts of frames etc. And I like them to look 'full' rather than just 5-6 pictures hung on a wall which looks a bit naff.

If you did a gallery wall, how much do you think it cost you? I'm pricing up prints and posters etc. and it's looking like it'll be super-expensive. Is it?

Hebeee, I love your taste! More photos, please, if you are so inclined.

I love a huge canvas too. We’re house hunting and I’ve seen this look in a few houses and it’s wicked.

If you have a garden, you might want to consider making your own abstract paintings: you can buy canvas, frames, paint and brushes online. I've done it and it's messy so put some sort of ground cover down.

My house: Georgian oil paintings (portraits) in the sitting room, landscapes in the upstairs hallway, huge abstracts and a sunburst mirror over the fireplace in the dining room and framed - combination of coloured bone inlay and silver - of antique black and white photographs in the downstairs hallway going up the stairs. The guest bathroom has framed blue and white prints of sea life.

Other than a huge turquoise bone inlay mirror there is nothing yet in the guest room. I haven't even thought of what to put in the main bedroom...

Oh and I use Command Strips to stick pictures up with so there aren't any hole left and you can swap them round easily.

My post with a pic doesn't seem to have posted! 🙄

OP, one way to do this is to buy stuff at auction. My gallery consists entirely of auction purchases; I've also bought some huge Victorian mirrors very cheaply. I think gallery walls are only 'common' if they're filled with those naff and contrived family portraits in white frames.
