A 9-frame gallery wall is a great way to turn special photographs into decor. The 3-by-3 layout creates a balanced, modern and very beautiful effect, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways or offices.
The simplest way to arrange this composition is to build a grid with 3 frames on top, 3 in the middle and 3 at the bottom.
How far apart should the frames be?
For the set to look harmonious, the ideal is to leave about 5 cm of space between each frame.
If you are using 20 × 20 cm frames, a 9-frame gallery will measure approximately:
- 70 cm wide
- 70 cm high
At what height should I hang the frames?
The ideal is to place the centre of the composition about 145 to 150 cm from the floor.
If the gallery goes above a sofa, bed or piece of furniture, normally leave 15 to 25 cm in between.
Which photographs should I use?
A 9-frame gallery looks best when the images are connected in some way. You can use:
- family photos;
- images from a trip;
- moments with your children;
- portraits and landscapes;
- black-and-white photographs.
The most important thing is to keep some balance between the images so the composition feels light and organised.
