HOW TO CREATE A GALLERY WALL IN A TINY APARTMENT

Gallery walls should be very personal and always in progress. For this reason, art consultant Kate Bellin of Kate Bellin Contemporary prefers to have them in the more private spaces of one’s home like bedrooms, stairways, hallways, and bathrooms....

“Just before my first little boy, Lucky, was born, a funny thing happened,” says art consultant Kate Bellin. “I felt myself drawn to tiny art. Visiting galleries or fairs, I’d end up with a little drawing or a small canvas, and now after five years it’s turned into a wall full of treasured pieces that reminds us of happy times. Lucky has even started to become involved as well; for every Christmas he asks for a Matchbox car drawing from Kate Schelter, whom he now knows by name. He likes for the car paintings to be hung low, so he can see them, and close together, like a race car team.”
