There's a New Type of Gallery Wall Going Viral—And Designers Definitely Approve
It goes beyond traditional artwork.
A viral video by Katerina Seigel is inspiring homeowners with an elegant DIY photo frame hack, demonstrating how to transform ordinary frames into personalized display pieces. The tutorial, which has garnered over 787,000 views, shows how to repurpose patterned fabric or even a decorative napkin to create custom photo mats. Seigel wraps the existing mat with fabric, securing it with spray adhesive, and optionally enhances the frame with a rub-and-buff wax for an antique gold finish. The project is praised for its accessibility and cost-effectiveness. Viewers enthusiastically commented, "I LOVE this idea!! Definitely doing this," and "gonna save me so much money from going to a custom frame store!!" This trend reflects a growing desire for personalized home decor, offering a charming and affordable method to display cherished photo strips.
