Last month, I worked on a great shoot with photographer Jemma Watts, looking at creative ways to create a gallery wall, using a selection of 3M’s Command products. When it comes to wall displays you don’t have to stick to conventional set-ups, think about what you are hanging, and try to have a little fun. Our styled collection has a retro feel as most of the items have been up-cycled or restored.
We started by painting the wall in a rich grey, this created the perfect backdrop to the punchy reds and bright mustard tones. My favourite item is the handmade peg rail which has been made from old yardsticks, genius. We used the Command picture hanging strips to attach it to the wall (make sure you check the weight of the products against the back of the Command packet).
All products on the wall are from the fabulous Home Barn who sell a mixture of home accessories that have been lovingly restored and transformed into very cool and individual pieces.
