Things to add to your gallery wall that aren't art
Gallery walls are a fantastic way to liven up the living room and add your own personal style. You can also easily rotate the design, actual components, and color scheme without worrying about drastic changes. Most people hang artwork on gallery walls, which is always nice. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just the art. There are many other items that you can hang to make your living room wall look very interesting.

Woven Pieces
You can pick anything that is woven to add interesting texture to an otherwise flat area. Use a Bolga fan as pictured above or something else like rattan baskets or something else.

pennant
There’s a reason these are a classic decor element. They add interest with their triangular shape, and the felt adds texture to the otherwise uniform shape of the lens and frame. You can find some on Etsy, try finding one from your school or your favorite sports team. There are many vintage ones that look really cool on the wall.

frame accessories
So they don’t necessarily have to be accessories for frames, but can also just be items that can be attached in front of or behind a frame. You can add many different flat objects like postcards, bookmarks, photo booth strips or more. Get as creative as you can and let your style shine. Pretty much any flat object can be added to a frame to create an interesting look.

ornaments
This is a great way to incorporate sentimental items from your childhood, gifts from friends, or ornaments you’re not really sure what else to do with. Hang ornaments with ribbons to add even more color. Smaller objects fit perfectly into a sea of frames and break up the monotony.
