For a long time now it has been a trend to cover yours walls/a statement wall with pictures, photos, drawings or doodles. I remember when it first started, my sister pritt sticking magazine pages all over one wall of her bedroom and getting her friends to sign and draw on another and being so jealous of how cool it looked and wanting mine the same. Typical sibling rivalry. However when I tried it managed to just look like some silly drawings in permanent marker, which in the end took quite a few cots of paint to cover up!
Ever since, I have liked the idea of having a designated wall to be covered in colour and mismatched pictures. Pinterest is your best friend for inspiration in this department but my advice would just be to use things you like, as you can't go far wrong with that right? When I started this I sat down one afternoon and just scoured the net for pretty prints. Things that were bright and cute and had a similar theme but were not too restricted to that. After I had a folder full I sat at the printer for a good 20 mins and then cut them to look neat.
I wanted things that would cheer me up when I looked at them or things that would brighten up my room and inspire me. I already had the bunting up so just worked around it and put things where they fit, spreading the colour throughout the plainer pieces. I absolutley love the Agate water colour painting, the pineapple and the twiggy eyes.
I found all of these prints online free for personal use, you wouldn't believe how much material is out there! And I found so many lovely blogs that create and share free designs. I will credit all of these prints to the sources that I found them from.
I love walking into my room now and seeing this pop of colour and inspiration, I think it's such a great feature for any room. Obviously with the space around this I can continue to add more as well as take things away to keep it fresh and interesting. Using pins makes this really easy; as well as this you can change up the pins to alter the look of the gallery. I used ones we had in the house but I love the look of these. You can really get creative with this and have fun!
Love, Beth x
