Free Printable Gallery Wall Templates

A gallery wall fails in one of two ways: the layout looked better in your head, or the first nail went in the wrong place and the rest followed. Both have the same fix, and it costs nothing: preview the layout with paper before you hang. This free pack gives you 11 designer layouts drawn to scale, each with exact print sizes, gaps, and hanging heights, ready to tape up with kraft paper in fifteen minutes.

How the tape-up method works

Pick a layout, cut kraft paper or newspaper to each print size on the page, and tape the arrangement on your wall using the measurements given: bottom row height, gaps, and centering. Live with it for a day. If it feels right, mark your nail points through the paper and hang. For the exact nail height per frame and hardware, use the hanging height calculator; to sanity-check sizes against your furniture first, run the wall art size calculator or see everything at true scale in the size comparison tool.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes do the templates use?

Standard print sizes: 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36 inches, with metric equivalents on every page. They work with prints and frames from any store, and every layout has a matching gallery wall set if you want the art chosen for you.

How far apart should gallery wall frames be?

Two to three inches (5 to 8 cm) between frames, kept consistent across the whole arrangement. Consistent gaps are what make a gallery wall read as one intentional piece instead of scattered frames.

Where should the arrangement sit on the wall?

Treat the whole layout as one artwork: on an open wall, its center sits at 57 inches (145 cm) from the floor; above furniture, the bottom row hangs 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm) above the furniture top. Every template states these heights for you.
