My egg print gallery wall

10 years ago
I'm in the process of hanging my 6 egg prints in my master bedroom. Is it okay that I have more space between them on each side, compared to the top to bottom spacing, which is slightly less? Ideally I'd have spaced them exactly the same top/bottom and side/side, as I often see it done, but I had 6 prints so I'm just working with what I've got. Any feedback would be so appreciated!

    I would bring the sides in and tighten up the composition to have equal spacing. You don't need the prints to completely fill that gap.

    Also, hard to tell in this photo but they may be a bit high if that's a door frame I'm seeing on the right.

    Thanks! It's actually between 2 Windows. I used the tip I had gotten to make the center of the art hang at 60", so the middle between the top and bottom is about 60 inches high.

    I think the current spacing between them looks fine and their placement as a group between the windows is ok as long as they do not look too high from further back.

    Thanks Elle. I'll stand further back and take a pic.

    Does this help?

    Yes- I bet your room is lovely. I would still tighten them up by bringing sides in closer. Are you planning to have drapes though?

    I can still arrange them to where there is equal space between them on the sides, to match the top to bottom spacing, if y'all think I should.

    I do plan to have drapes at some point! That's definitely on my radar. :) I thought about getting a faux mantle and placing it under these prints on the bottom of this wall.

    Ok- I will tighten the prints up and send a picture when I'm done! Thanks y'all!!

    I would lower them a bit and hang them closer together. Center the grouping on the wall. That way you will have more room for drapes too.

    If you hang drapes, you may actually need to do them in a vertical composition (3 rows of 2 each) to have room for the panels.

    I think a faux mantle would be lovely there and would hold off re-arranging the pictures until you have the mantle in place - so you compliment the right height and width/balance. When adding curtains, I think I would add a rod quite high over each window, but only hang the drapes on the outside, so the middle doesn't get crowded.

    Thank you Maureen, I think a white rod placed high, with curtains just on the outsides of Windows would be great. I'm arranging the pictures with equal spacing from top/bottom and side/side, but keeping the height I had originally. To me the height is pleasing as I see it in person. Any lower I don't think I'd like the bottom row to be any lower. Thanks again everyone! Final pic to come.

    It's a very pretty room! I agree you could tighten them up a bit. I'm doing something similar on a kitchen wall with fruit prints...six 11" x 14" frames in two rows of three. I'm centering mine at 57" from the floor above some beadboard, but your 60" should also work. Mine are framed, matted and ready to hang, but we have to paint the wall.

    Chloebud I think you commented when I did the botanical magnolia market gallery in my kitchen! Yes, that will be so pretty! Would love to see your finished product.

    Ok I've moved them in and made the space equal on all sides. How does it look? Can anyone look and tell they're off center by .75 inches? I am just really not wanting to make more holes in the wall of its not noticeable!

    Here's a straight-on view. Does it look off center to y'all?

    Thank you indomom! You just totally freed me up! I do love it!!! Thanks guys! :)

    Megan, I remember your botanical prints...forgot that was you! Your adjustment to the egg prints looks great!
