Ways to upgrade your walls
Gallery wall
Minted Framed Print Photos
One way to add to negative space is to build a gallery wall. Before you nail in any holes, Holdefehr suggests building the concept on your floor as a visual picture guide. Choose your favorite printed memories and fill these frames for a personal touch.
Minted Custom Fine Art
Add statement art with these customizable prints from Minted. There are hundreds of unique pieces of art from artists around the world. You can choose framed or canvas in different sizes, which feature floral pieces and subdued landscapes to name a few options.
Personal touches
Made by Design Single Picture Gallery Frame
Elevate your gallery wall with meaningful items you already have around your home. Make your child feel really special by showcasing their creativity and frame their artwork in these Target single-picture frames. Holdefehr says she loves this idea for an office or playroom.
The Container Store Umbra Conceal Book Shelves
Holdefehr says books don’t have to live on a bookshelf. These floating shelves from The Container Store give the impression your books are floating on the wall. According to the brand, each mounted shelf holds up to 20 pounds of books.
Studio Décor Plate Hanger
Take your favorite decorative plates or grandma's heirloom plates out of your cabinets and feature them on the wall with this plate hanger from Michael's. With plastic grips for a secure fit, options come in white or brass and three different sizes.

Plants
