How to Create a Wall Grid Gallery (Without It Looking Messy)
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.
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.
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.
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, you can pair your grid with additional botanical elements 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.
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
✔ 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
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.
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.
