You may have heard designers and influencers use words like minimal, bohemian, or modern, and found
yourself wondering... “wait, what's my decorating style?” Knowing the aesthetic you gravitate
toward can
help bring intention to the design of your own space — with more of the colors, textures, and of
course,
photos that bring you joy. That’s why we created this guide (and decor style quiz)!
Read on as we break down five well-loved approaches to design, alongside some of the many ways
our
community is making them their own.
Style 01
Minimalist
You’ve heard us say, less is more. And it’s true, we are long-time fans of the minimalist
interior design style. You may be in this camp too if you prefer a simple, pared-down
space.
This style makes the most of clean lines, neutral palettes, and lots of negative space. Here,
beauty is
found in the pure simplicity of the space. This approach can feel like a breath of fresh air —
and who
doesn’t need a little more of that these days?
In minimalist stylings, color does still have a place and purpose. @hayherridge nails it with this photo that feels vibrant yet subtle. By highlighting one frame on her wall, everyone can enjoy the focal point without distraction.
Pairing plants with photos, this display (from yours truly + @thesill creates a moment of quiet and feeling of zen. The acrylic frame allows the photo to truly stand out and capture all the attention.
When styling a bookcase or built-in shelves, lovers of minimalism, like @jennaborst, find less is more. Rather than layering in too much detail, this display allows elements like the keepsake baby albums to feel that much more significant.
Leaning into a purposefully simplistic color palette, @mynordicabode fills her shelf with black-and-white elements, including a photo frame. Sticking to the basics, this space invites a sense of calm through balance.
Minimalism doesn’t mean empty — although @kerryhousley finds a creative way to establish plenty of negative space. With two Gallery Frames layered with intention next to the shelf, this look leaves room for light to have a moment.
Sometimes the small things have the greatest impact. Four simple Everyday Prints and four mini wooden ledges are all @bethanyloveall needs to create a perfectly joyful display.

Since this style is so embedded in our design-forward approach, all of our products suit a
minimal
stylescape. Take your pick of subtle linen book covers, sleek metal frames, soft matte prints,
and more
— to let your stories take the lead. We even have some minimalist
room
ideas in addition to those below.
Style 02
Boho
Tend to lean toward organic materials like wicker, light wood, or dried botanicals? Chances are
you
prefer a bohemian (or “boho”) home decor style. Embracing earthy hues, natural textures, unique
ceramics, and mismatched patterns, this style feels carefree and casual. It also blends nicely
with more
rustic elements like raw wood and stoneware to give a room that lived-in feeling. Enthusiasts of
bohemian design often enjoy bringing the outside in with plants, too.
Where you get ready in the morning should feel personalized and refreshing. @oakandoats achieves this by topping their dresser with plenty of warm neutrals and natural maple elements.
Creating the gallery wall of our dreams - @almostmakesperfect combines playful shapes and colors with organic textures and materials. The wood in the frames complements the fresh greenery and natural decor.
Balancing vibrant greenery with a more minimal wall display, @leighandcointeriors draws her guests' eyes and attention toward theses naturally hued frames at the end of the hallway.
The bohemian style of @nicoletteapplegate's bedroom comes to life with a casual Floating Frame on the wall. The addition of a large, landscape image makes the room feel nature-inspired in more ways than one!
With layers of intricate textures, greenery, and a Modern Wall Calendar - this look feels casual, carefree, and personalized. We love how the weave of the bag adds tactile, visual interest - a common characteristic of boho decor.
Open, inviting, and grounded - the way @pb.and.jamzz styles this room makes the larger-than-life Gallery Frame the true focal point. Contrasting warm woods with stark whites creates a feeling of balance and serenity, while dried botanicals bring a boho effect to the otherwise minimalist look.
Pairing bohemian elements with an almost costal, farmhouse look, @forthewestandwildphoto makes this dining room a standout space - complete with a lovely view of two maple-finish frames.

For this interior design style, we recommend frames made with natural woods to emphasize the
organic
appeal. For an elevated, gradient effect, complement darker woods like walnut furniture with the
lighter
tone of our Maple finish.
Style 03
Modern
If this is predominantly your style, you likely enjoy functional spaces with a hint of
personality and
an occasional pop of color. Leading with organic shapes, tried-and-true hues, and practical
pieces, a
modern space will feel fresh, clean, and inspiring. It balances old and new — nodding to
time-honored
techniques with an updated approach. That means this style will pair nicely with more
traditional
elements in a space, leading to a blended, transitional look that evolves with you.
Saying goodbye to the cluttered magazine look, @tee.explores displays a photo album on her coffee table instead. The timeless, elevated look of this linen-bound book is given a subtle, modern flare with the bright pop of honeycomb.
@houseofhartmans isn't afraid to mix materials and styles in one vignette. This gallery frame with a sleek black finish gives an otherwise vintage corner a more modern feel.
Layering photos and art on a wooden ledge, @hellohannahbeam creates a classic look with repetitive forms and shapes. The warm, neutral hues and start black frames reinforce contrast and balance.
Timeless and personal, @costanzabarnier pairs a modern acrylic frame with inviting, traditional elements -- for a cozy nook anyone would like to linger in an extra hour or two.
By incorporating a modern frame in her space, @elissacrowe creates an eye-catching bedside view that sparks joy. The rich, warm hues of her rustic pieces are elevated by the bright brass elements and reflective acrylic.
@kristilee_parish creates a sleek, practical, and oversized gallery wall that' modern and classic in all the best ways. Placed in a high-traffic room, this wall display makes the home feel lived-in yet elevated.

When working with this wall decor and interior design style, we reach for classic silhouettes
and
materials, like our Gallery Frames and Layflat
Photo Book. One of many fitting, more modern
wall
art ideas is to hang a Floating Frame, featuring sleek brass bolts and borderless appeal
that
complements traditional pieces.
Style 04
Eclectic
If the idea of breaking design rules appeals to you, this eclectic style might be your match.
Similar to
boho, it’s not afraid of mix-and-matching — in fact, it takes it to a whole other level. Think:
pops of
colors (especially in jewel tones), mismatched materials, and purposefully clashing patterns and
textures. The best thing about this wall decor and interior design style is that you can truly
take it
anywhere and make it your own.
Your kids' rooms are a perfect place to play around with an eclectic style. @wellwellpodcast tells her daughter's story through a photo collage filled with fun photos and encouraging art.
Patterns on patterns, colors on colors -- @julietfurst finds a way to balance her unique design style without reigning it in. The mix of materials in her gallery wall feels in sync yet uniquely her own.
Speaking of eclectic gallery wall layouts... @jamielefkowitz shows us all how it's done. Mix-and-matching materials, shapes, and mediums, this display feels personalized and one of a kind.
Bright pops of color are a hallmark of this design style as seen in @october_kelly's vibrant Modern Metal Frame. This unexpected moment in her space catches the eye and inspires joy.
Complementing her lively gallery wall, @erinhargis_ brings a hint of personality to the coffee table too -- thanks to photo books in Honeycomb and Sedona. We love how she established flow with similar hues in the pillows and art.
Linen covers aren't the only way to add color and personality to your coffee table -- our Hardcover Photo Book's dust jacket covers are another great option! Throughout the rest of the room, @sousmarin makes vibrant (and colorful) decor decisions, like the eye-catching wall design!

We were excited to see this sort of maximalist approach show up in wall art
trends and,
even more, love seeing it come to life through our community. Want to follow in their lead? Opt
for
bolder photo book covers (hello, honeycomb!) and print your photos that showcase all the flair,
personality, and, of course, color. And remember this style is all about creative expression —
so play
around with how you display, and try an asymmetrical or freeform gallery wall
layout.
Style 05
Luxe
Glitter and gold — this might be your result in our decorating style quiz if you like spaces to
feel
high-end and polished, but not necessarily over the top. The luxe aesthetic shines by making the
most of
refined textiles (like leather, suede, and velvet) and highlighting elevated finishes (like
brass,
silver, and crystal). To ensure the home still feels approachable and inviting, incorporate
subtle,
grounding elements, so chic feature pieces aren’t fighting for attention.
With a hint of art deco and baroque styles, @briviglianco's gallery wall is elegant and moody. It sets the tone for the rest of her home, inviting everyone to explore further (and find more design gems!)
The brass sconces and the maple frames (with ample matting) give a feeling of grandeur in @ourfrenchmodernhome's space. We love how she highlights photos with her family in a way that is simultaneously elevated and effortless.
Refined and traditional with a feminine flair, this baroque-inspired moment in @oleanderandpalm's space is elevated by the metal frame. The sleek brass creates an almost royal feeling when paired with the form-focused artwork.
This accent table is a great example of how you can lean into a luxe style while keeping it casual, too. The silver and brass materials complement @lisahsamuel's photo books, which are layered seamlessly into the look.
The brass bolts in @julieczerneck's frame tie into other refined metals in her space. By repeating a theme through multiple forms, you can reinforce a high-end feel without being too matchy-matchy.
With the chandelier and the grand table, @hannahmcmorrison's dining room called for an equally impressive gallery wall. This classic grid layout of Modern Metal Frame does just that.
