When I hear that someone has a gallery wall in their home, I immediately envision a Kardashians-esque vibe with their daughters’ head shots hung next to the family’s past five Christmas cards. While I think it’s endearing to have photos of your loved ones displayed, I think it can easily veer on the tacky side if you’re not careful.

A great alternative to the family gallery wall is to merely collect a group of photographs and hang them all in a collage. The effect is very grand and can be just the statement you’re looking to make in a stairwell, hallway, or even a living room.
