How to style a gallery wall with mirrors and wearable wall art
In this guide: how to build a playful gallery wall step by step, where mirrors, brooches and small objects come together to create a lively art wall — colorful, personal and with a smile.
Our designs are laser- crafted and carefully finished for a unique, reflective effect. Below you'll find clear steps, examples, and answers to frequently asked questions.
In short
- Mix shapes (round, organic, graphic) for dynamism.
- Work with color clusters (2–3 basic colors + 1 accent).
- Vary in sizes and materials (mirrored, matte, wood texture).
- First lay on the floor, then hang — using small test dots.
Step by step: from empty wall to art wall
- Determine your mood and colors. Choose two to three basic colors (e.g., pink, yellow, blue) and one surprising accent. This way, you keep it playful, but not overly busy.
- Start with the "heroes." Place 1-2 larger focal points (e.g., an eye or lip shape) and build around them with smaller elements.
- Slide everything on the floor. First, lay everything out on the floor in the desired composition. Photograph variations; choose the one with the best rhythm.
- Hang in layers. Start with the largest items at eye level, then add medium and small accents. Leave space between objects for a sense of calm.

Think in terms of rhythm: large–small–medium, full–air–full. Your wall reads like a cheerful pattern that draws your eye.
Example A: Soft pop & shine

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the correct height?
Start with your largest item at eye level (approximately 145–160 cm to the center). Work your way up and down from there with smaller pieces.
How much space do I leave between objects?
As a rule of thumb, 4–8 cm for small items, 8–12 cm for larger ones. Keep the rhythm consistent, unless you deliberately create clusters for dynamics. Read more inspiration in this blog post about color in your interior. .
Can I safely hang the wearable wall art brooches without damage?
Yes. Use the small metal plates that come with it.
Common Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
- Hang everything in a straight line. Break it up with a slight zigzag or blocks: that adds energy and balance.
- Too many colors at once. Limit yourself to two or three basic colors and one accent; let materials (mirror, matte) do the extra work.
- Don't leave any "breathing room." Air around objects allows every shape to shine.
