Incorporating a gallery-style, or 'salon-style' hanging space in your home is based on a trend that was first initiated in the chicest apartments way back in 17th century France. ✨
The idea was to collect as many pictures as you could and hang them all at once, both to showcase your taste and patronage of fine art but also to fill your life with creativity. ✨
The mix is key: you need a variety of different sizes, shapes, styles, and frames to perfect a salon portrait gallery in your home. Follow our top tips for achieving this interior design trend for yourself. ✨
🎨 Find a space
Salon hangs can take up a full wall or they can comprise just a few small pictures. So it really is up to you to think about where you want to create your gallery. Anywhere and everywhere is possible, we’ve seen salon-style hangs in living rooms, hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, and bedrooms.
🎨 Mix and match
When thinking about your salon space you need to make sure you keep it interesting by mixing and matching different styles, frames, sizes and colours.
🎨 Time to measure
The most difficult (and important) part of achieving a salon hang at home is to measure everything up correctly. By laying out all your pictures on the floor, you can get an idea of how they will look on the wall.
