A Sneak Peek at Our Living Room

Creating a Beautiful Gallery Wall on a Budget

Newlywed life in a townhome means pinching pennies as much as we can. So we turned to Desenio to help us craft a beautiful gallery wall on a budget.

I love interior decorating. Even as a kid, I was fascinated by how walking into a certain space in a home conjured particular emotions or sensations. I knew as an adult, when I had the opportunity to decorate my own place, it was going to be spectacular. The only part I was uncertain about was the style. My tastes have fluctuated over the years, and while I love a good minimal setting, or a clean and glam location, bohemian has always stuck out to me. What I knew I had to have was a decent amount of color. I thrive in colorful places.

So the first thing we got for our townhome was a rug. A very vibrant rug, I might add. But it brought the most incredible vibe to our living room. Our carpet is tan, our couch is tan, and the walls are tan – but since we aren’t sure how long we’ll live here, we didn’t want to change too much. However, since I chose such a “busy” statement rug (and a large one, at that) I knew I needed to be super particular about any art that went up onto our walls. I immediately began to peruse the Desenio website for inspiration.

Desenio not only offers incredible wall art at insanely affordable prices, but they also have an array of inspirational photos and even templates for gallery walls.

I chose a “medium” template, which included seven prints at different sizes. Then I picked out my first piece of art – a modern illustration of two faces kissing. This would be my center-focus, and everything else around it just needed to flow together. I spent several hours, matching colors of prints to my rug and the other articles in our living room. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that I wanted cream, green, and blue hues to play the biggest roles in the gallery wall.

Making the order was super easy, and I saved an incredible amount of money because I purchased on a holiday weekend. I even got gold frames for all seven posters, and I still stayed under $300 total. That’s honestly unheard of when it comes to a full gallery wall. I know that I’ll be going back to Desenio for our master bedroom and even my husband’s office. In fact, I may have discovered a slight addiction to art print shopping!

    As we’re currently renting we can’t put anything on the walls, but I know as soon as we buy our own house a gallery wall is going to be a MUST! I think it’s great that you showed how beautiful one can be, even whilst on a budget. All these images go really well together, too!

    I’m so bad at creating gallery walls! I know a pretty gallery wall when I see one but I have a hard time recreating one for myself. I Really Love that these frames and prints are so affordable! I may give it a shot myself!

    I love the rug! My husband and I moved into our house and we still haven’t decorated. The plan was to fix the house up the way we want and then decorate. The only thing on our living room walls is our wedding picture and a calendar from 2018…oops. We did just buy a new bedding set though so it is a start.
