1. Gather photographs or images you want to use. Choose pictures that are black and white or have a similar colour palette. You can also add black or white to colour images for variation and contrast. Alternatively, create a gallery wall with a common theme, like travel, landscape or architecture. 

2. Head to Target, Country Road or a specialty framer and choose your frames. If you want a more streamlined look, choose frames in the same size and colour. Otherwise, mix it up with a variation of timbers and finishes for a more relaxed feel.

3. Get some butchers paper and trace around the frames. Cut them out.

Blu-tack the cut-out pieces of paper to the wall to get a visual of how it will look. Rearrange the pieces until it’s balanced and you’re happy with the arrangement.
