How to Create a Wall Grid Gallery (Without It Looking Messy)

May 3, 2026

A wall grid is one of the simplest ways to add structure, personality and visual interest to a space.

But when you start thinking about using more than one grid, or combining grids with other pieces, it can quickly feel overwhelming.

How many should you use?
How do you space them?
And how do you stop it from looking cluttered?

In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to create a wall grid gallery that feels calm, cohesive and beautifully styled. Whether you're working with one piece or building a full wall. For broader inspiration, our complete guide to wall grid styling ideas for every room is a great companion read.

What is a Wall Grid Gallery?

A wall grid gallery is a collection of grids and complementary pieces arranged together to create a larger focal point.

Instead of styling a single grid in isolation, you're building a layered wall that can include:

One or more wall grids
Botanical panels or textures
Artwork, cards or prints
Personal pieces (photos, notes, keepsakes)

The result is a space that feels more intentional, more styled, and far more impactful than a single piece alone.

Start with One Grid (Then Build Out)

The easiest way to approach a wall grid gallery is to start simple.

Begin with a single grid, styled with a few carefully chosen elements, and let it anchor the space.

From there, you can gradually build around it.

For example, our Botanical Calm Wall Grid Kit is designed as a complete starting point, including clips, artwork and botanicals so you don't need to source anything separately.

Once in place, it gives you a clear base to expand from. If you prefer a bolder, more romantic aesthetic, the Of Vines & Petals Kit makes an equally stunning anchor piece.

Choosing the Right Layout

When you're ready to add more, the layout matters.

Here are three approaches that work beautifully:

1. Side-by-Side (Balanced & Minimal)

Two grids placed next to each other create a clean, symmetrical look.

Best for:

Bedrooms
Home offices
Calm, minimal interiors

Keep spacing consistent and avoid overcrowding each grid, think breathing space. Our The Quiet Edit collection is perfect for this approach — its restrained, fine-line aesthetic lends itself beautifully to paired displays.

2. Grid + Panels (Layered & Editorial)

Combining a wall grid with botanical panels or textures creates depth and softness.

This works particularly well if you want:

A more elevated, styled look
A mix of structure (grid) and organic texture (botanicals)

To recreate this, our Botanical Wall Panel Bundle pairs beautifully with any of our wall grids to build a layered wall that feels cohesive rather than busy.

3. Three-Piece Wall (Statement Look)

If you're working with a larger wall, a three-piece layout creates a strong focal point.

For example:

Grid in the centre
Botanical panels on either side

This creates a complete wall moment, ideal for living rooms or larger spaces. Our Your Space. Your Rules. Kit works brilliantly as the centrepiece for this kind of statement arrangement.

How to Keep It Looking Calm (Not Cluttered)

This is where most people go wrong.

A wall grid gallery should feel curated, not crowded.

✔ Stick to One Colour Story

Choose a consistent palette (like soft greens, neutrals or muted tones)

✔ Don't Fill Every Space

Negative space is what makes the styling feel elevated

✔ Repeat Elements

Using similar textures (botanicals, paper, clips) creates cohesion. Our Build Your World Signature Collection of printable quote cards and botanical line art is ideal for adding repeatable, cohesive elements across a gallery wall.

✔ Let It Evolve

Your wall doesn't need to be "finished" in one go

That's part of the beauty, it grows with you over time. For more ideas on designing a home that truly reflects you, read our guide on how to create a calm home that feels like you.

Why Complete Kits Make This Easier

One of the biggest challenges with creating a wall grid gallery is sourcing everything separately.

Grids, clips, artwork, botanicals - it adds up quickly, and often feels disjointed.

That's why starting with a complete kit makes such a difference.

Instead of building from scratch, you begin with a thoughtfully arranged foundation that already works together and then layer from there. If you'd like to add digital artwork to your display, our Coastal Edit — our Summer 2026 collection — offers beautiful printable pieces that complement any grid beautifully.

Build Your Wall, Your Way

There's no single "right" way to create a wall grid gallery.

Whether you choose one grid or build a full multi-piece wall, the goal is the same:

To create a space that feels like yours.

Start simple. Add slowly. And let your wall evolve over time.
