If you’ve ever wanted your home to feel more luxurious and pulled together, I have got the perfect idea for you. This post will show you 18 absolutely stunning symmetrical gallery wall ideas that will transform your home or office.
I'm currently in a very organized mood and if you were to see my closet you would get it.
I’m always looking for ways to create a more balanced and harmonized home because I know just how important it is for me to have a home that feels really good, hello feng shui. In an effort to create a cozy yet luxurious feeling bedroom, I used a symmetrical art wall to complete the look.
I find symmetrical art walls to be one of the easiest yet sophisticated decorating moves to make.

A symmetrical gallery wall can be a transformative element in your home decor, elevating the entire ambiance with its sense of order and balance. Symmetry is inherently pleasing to the human eye, creating a harmonious and calming effect within a space.
When applied to a gallery wall, it imparts a sense of intention and sophistication that can make any room feel more refined. Whether it's a row of identical frames or a grid-like arrangement, symmetry lends a timeless and organized quality to your wall art, making it appear purposeful and thoughtfully designed.
This more chic looking arrangement of art or photography allows the artwork to shine individually while contributing to a cohesive and polished whole.
Symmetrical gallery walls also exude a sense of completeness and can easily become the focal point of a room, adding a touch of elegance and order that can truly elevate your home's aesthetic appeal.
Things to keep in mind:
When doing this type of arrangement, typically you want to keep all of the images in a similar theme. Versus when you have an asymmetrical gallery wall, it looks more eclectic and mixed art themes looks great. When doing a symmetrical gallery wall, it's more impactful with a specific and cohesive theme.
Choosing the right sized frames. Determine if you would like to have large or small matting and what size photos you will want to display. Determine whether landscape, portrait or a square photo works best for the size of your wall. Selecting the art beforehand makes things much less stressful.
Hot tip: If you are filling a vertical empty space, portrait photos will look best. If you are looking to fill a horizontal empty space on a wall, you may want to opt for large square or landscape sized frames and photos.
Determine what finish looks best for your room. I like my frames to look impactful. Consider the wall color, furniture finishes, textures and elements you may want to add. A natural wood frame looks beautiful in a softer space while a metal frame might work best in a more modern space.
Don’t forget the lighting. A gallery wall will pop with the right type of lighting. You can choose overhead lighting, spotlights or even floor lighting to make it look more luxurious.

The most inviting space in the home should be the entryway, especially because that is where guests enter. If you are looking for a way to fill up a large wall in the entryway, choose a symmetrical gallery wall with 12 x 12 black frames.
