Gallery Wall DIY Hack: Spray Painting Frames and Mats

We all know custom framing costs a fortune. However, there’s a workaround for this! Design experts agree a gallery wall DIY with spray paint can transform $1 thrifted frames into $50 decor through sheer color consistency. To build a stunning DIY gallery wall, you only need two core components: COLORSHOT painted frames and mats and budget-friendly layout ideas that utilize "negative space," which is the intentional, breathing-room gaps between your art.

Supplies:

 

#1: White mat being spray painted green. #2: Woman holding up artwork with a papaya, green mat and black frame. #3 Woman hanging framed artwork to gallery wall.

 

Follow These Steps:

1. Map out your Space:
