Playroom Gallery Wall

The playroom is by far one of the most used rooms in our house. It is right off the kitchen – so not only can it be seen from our main living area – but we spend hours playing in here every single day!

At this stage in our lives I have the opportunity to make this room youthful, fun, and special! You can see this in the lively patterns and textures, the playful pom pom fringe, and the sweet custom silhouette pillows.

The only thing missing from this room (and something I have dreamed of adding since we first moved in) is large photo prints of the boys’ sweet little faces!

Frame It Easy Custom Frames

For our custom gallery wall in the playroom, I wanted large (really large!) frames with oversized matting.

I chose the Ashford style frame in Satin Black. The minimal black metal frame perfectly compliments the black wall lights and large black chalkboard in the playroom, while the 8″ smooth white matting still gives them a light and airy feel in this neutral space.

Above are the details of the frames I chose. As you can see you can perfectly customize every single aspect of the frame to fit your individual space!

Easy Tips for Creating a Picture Perfect Gallery Wall

While there is no “one rule fits all,” here are some general guidelines to follow when creating a visually appealing gallery wall. (Also: in case we had you fooled, here is what our playroom looks like on an average day!)

Plan It Out: Use painter’s tape or paper to visualize the frames in your space. This is an absolute must when it comes to gallery walls! Here you can see where I used painter’s tape to tape out the size of the frames. You can also use wrapping paper or poster board to do the same thing. If you have a large gallery wall and/or a lot of frames, plan it out on the floor first.
Go Big! : A common mistake with gallery walls is not choosing large enough frames. Generally speaking, you want to go big and fill up your space. My frames here are just under 25 inches x 25 inches.
Use a Level: Use a level to ensure that the first frame is perfectly level. If the first frame is not level, the entire gallery wall will be unlevel!
Spacing Matters: Even though a gallery wall is made up of many different frames, the entire collection should appear as “one.” This means that frames should be spaced close together to make them appear as one cohesive unit. 2 inches is a good starting point.

The Frame It Easy Difference

I was so pleased with my entire experience at Frame It Easy. I will definitely be turning to them again and again for all of my custom framing needs in the future.

Here are a couple of things I was particularly impressed with while placing my order from Frame It Easy:

You can completely customize the size of your frame to perfectly fit your photo/art as well as your space. The frame sizes range from 5”x5” up to 42”x62” and can be increased in increments as small as 1/16 of an inch.
You have the ability to upload your photo or artwork while designing your frame! It will arrive already framed and ready to hang! Talk about a time saver!
The cost is unbeatable! Have you ever gotten something framed in a store? The prices can be outrageous. Frame It Easy frames cost around half of other online framing shops, and around a quarter of local chains/stores.
Each frame is custom packaged to ensure perfectly safe delivery, and all of the packaging (including the plastic straps) are all recyclable!

If you would like a closer look at the packaging and the frames (as well as the process of hanging them up on the wall!), check out my Instagram stories for some behind the scenes videos.

I am so glad I can now show off these precious little faces in the playroom!
