11 Cool Items To Mix Into Your Gallery Wall

Texture is your best friend

You’ve watched the video on how to hang a Pinterest-worthy gallery wall, and you’ve got some showstopping art and photos you’re ready to throw in the mix. But--news flash--to give your wall real pop, you need to include something that’s not a traditional print, painting or photograph.

Here, 11 ideas to get your wheels spinning.

A Textile

Play with texture. A scarf, tapestry or woven banner adds warmth and color.

A Planter

They may look like art, but don't forget these guys need sunlight. Go for tillandsia, or "air plants," which don't require soil or constant watering.

Ceramics

Because Grandma's favorite serving dish deserves some face time.

A Gameboard

The next big thing: vintage chess sets as art.
