I Tried This Ingenious $6 Art Hack, and It Transformed My Gallery Wall
Back when I first moved into my apartment, I wanted my living room wall to have a gallery of images surrounding a television. I sought to make the art interesting yet not overpowering — whatever show I’d be streaming needed my full attention — and I also hoped that my choices would all coordinate. I started searching for possibilities from my favorite online art retailers, like Pstr Studio, Desenio, and Etsy. I found contenders, but then hit another common roadblock: Everything I wanted was outside of my budget.
I already had four existing prints to work with, so I only needed a complementary pair to round out the gallery. I planned to spend around $100 for these two new pieces, frames included, which didn’t leave much wiggle room for even so much as shipping costs. And then I got an idea: I’d frame wallpaper samples and use that in my gallery wall.
