Gallery walls are officially living in their 2.0 era. From nostalgic-themed images to curations of Black artists, it’s clear that the gallery wall is back with a vengeance. The latest version even includes your TV, as demonstrated by lifestyle creator Jordan J. (@jrdnalan) in his recent TikTok. Instead of simply arranging his artwork into a hodgepodge gallery, he incorporated his flat screen for a modern look. TV wall art is trending big time and it’s more chic than you may think.

TVs weren’t always the stylish items they are today. While a slim screen has always brought a luxe feel to a room, the blank screen wasn’t exactly inviting. However, with the advancement of technology, TVs have evolved beyond items for entertainment and entered the art world. With stunning backdrops and high-resolution images, they can be a work of art and even double as one on your wall.

Yesterday was gallery wall installation day and I’m thrilled it came out PERFECT. Thinking of adding some smaller pieces to fill in a few gaps around the art. #homedecor #interiordesign #interiordecor #homelifestyle #livingroomdecor #apartmentdecor #apartmenttherapy #apartmentliving #livingalone #livingroominspo #livingroomdesign

For Jordan J., the idea of creating an art gallery wall was about blending form with function. Having already amassed a collection of stunning pieces, he aimed to bring them together in his new space with a different feel. The creator has consistently demonstrated his love for art on TikTok. But after moving to a new apartment, he wanted to showcase his collection in a modern way. However, with the largest wall located directly across from the couch, finding a suitable spot for the gallery wall posed a problem.

Incorporating the TV into the gallery wall proved to be the answer. Not only would this allow him to bring his wall of artwork to life, but it would also become a striking focal point in the living room. It would also allow him to create a focal point with the TV placed in the middle of the wall, surrounded by art.

Measuring the Area

The first step to creating his vision was determining the measurements. Despite their effortless appearance, gallery walls require proper planning to ensure the pieces look cohesive. Measuring the area you plan to hang each piece is essential to the overall appearance of your gallery wall. After hanging the TV above the console, the team went to work finding the best location for each piece and measuring along the way.

Styling the Gallery Wall

The beauty of a gallery wall is that it can include lots of different elements. Along with his curated collection of artwork, Jordan also added a large wall mirror. Using a different shape helps break up the gallery wall and give it a more defined look. The TV is another element that brings dimension to the wall. When not in use, it features a different kind of artwork to enhance the final appearance. If you’re new to creating a gallery wall or are looking for a unique way to style your entertainment area, this modernized version of an art wall is a fun option.
