When we talk about photo walls, we often talk about photo collages. You often see them in people's homes. Several photos on the wall, photos from school trips, vacations or family. They come in all shapes and sizes, organized or messy, on a bulletin board and sometimes even on a cable. There are endless options! Of course you can also create a gallery wall with Walljar's posters and prints ! In this article we give you some great tips about five types of gallery walls!
1. Standard photo walls
The standard photo wall is known to everyone, you hang a row of photos next to each other on the wall. However, you can differ in how you hang it. You can hang it in several ways:
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Diagonal
In addition, you can also differ between the photo frame sizes. For example, you can alternate a wide, long photo with a short, high photo. This way you get a gallery wall with a zigzagging effect.
Of course you can also choose to put your posters in all kinds of different frames. You can change color in the frames, but you can also give the frames different shapes such as a checkered or round frame, it just depends on what you like!
2. Photo walls on the stairs
Do you want to reminisce about that photo from your honeymoon or vacation when you walk up the stairs? Then the photo wall on the stairs is the decoration you are looking for.
You can hang these photos step by step, this way you can see a nice photo with each step. Tip! Hang a poster or print of your favorite city from our city collection on every step ! 
3. Organized Photo Walls
Do you find the standard photo walls too messy? Then the organized gallery wall is really something for you! In an ordered variant, you use the same photo frames with equal sizes and use colors from the same color palette. Just like in the image below, you can combine the prints from our flora collection , these give a relaxing look to any room.
You can also sort your prints in chronological order based on certain events. In this way you have a nice clear picture wall . It provides a calm look. 
4. Decoration branches on the wall
An original idea for a gallery wall is to attach a decorative branch to the wall and hang your photos on it. But how do you do that?
Step 1: Find a sturdy branch that matches your interior. You can possibly buy a decorative branch in the store. Do you want a slightly cheaper option? Then you go into the forest and look for a suitable branch there.
Step 2: Take a strong thread and attach your photos to it. Do this by placing the wire on the back of the photo.
Step 3: Reattach the wire to the branch with a good, tight knot in the wire! Of course you don't want your photos to fall off the branch!
Step 4: Attach your unique branch to the wall and voila! You have your own unique gallery wall !
5. Paintings on shelves or cabinets
The last tip is to fix some shelves to the wall. Then you put your photos on the shelves. This way you only need to drill two holes to hang the shelf. Then you can put multiple photo frames on it.
This way you can also place your paintings on cabinets, so you won't be bothered by holes in the wall. For example, place several colorful posters or prints from our flora collection here!
