Our Framebridge Gallery Wall

Okay, so this blog post has been… a long time in the making 😉 We installed our gallery wall fairly quickly after moving into our home (we moved in October and got it up in January), but life and work got crazy, so I never took the time to sit down and write about it. First, let me say I LOVE IT and it’s probably the most complimented part of our home.

As you can tell from the title, we used Framebridge and I can’t recommend them highly enough. YES, it was pricey (somewhere around $700 after a discount code I used), BUT the quality of both the frames and service can’t be beat. The pictures come pre-framed with paper backing and beautiful matting (professional!). While it does feel pricey, for pre-curated, antique-esque, large, high-quality frames, it felt like a pretty great deal. We ordered the Staggered Grid in Mixed Metallics, but they have sooo many options. Some other favorites include the Wide Grid, the Half Wall Grid, the Floor to Ceiling Grid, and the Up the Stairs.

Even though it’s been awhile since we actually installed the gallery wall, I do remember the installation being fairly finicky. Framebridge does a nice job of including a paper grid that allows you to easily hammer in nails at the exact right places so your wall turns out exactly as you hope, but in practice, their paper grid was a bit off compared to the nail holes in the frames themselves. So you really need to make sure you compare the paper grid to the actual frames so you can get the exact height you want. The paper grid also had creases in it from being folded up during shipping (unavoidable), so it made it a bit difficult to ensure it was straight and flat against the wall. So while all-in-all it took a bit longer than we expected, once we got everything prepped and nails in the wall it was smooth sailing.

I would choose Framebridge and do this install over again in a heartbeat because it’s simply so beautiful. It’s definitely a corner that brings us immense joy, and I love that it’s the center of our home where we gather together for meals at the end of each day. I’m sure I’ll invest in more gallery walls from Framebridge in the future (lookin’ at you, stairwell). What does your dream gallery wall look like?
