Why Plan Digitally First?
Most gallery wall mistakes happen before the first nail goes in. A few minutes in Suprtiles saves hours of patching and rehanging.
Zero holes in the wrong place
A digital mock-up costs nothing. Hanging first and planning later is how you end up with Swiss cheese walls.
Know your frame count before you shop
Plan the exact sizes you need — no more buying a frame only to find it crowds everything.
Experiment freely
Try ten different arrangements in five minutes. Rearranging frames on screen is painless; on a real wall it is not.
Share the plan
Export a snapshot and show a partner or designer exactly what you have in mind before shopping starts.
How It Works
Four steps from a blank wall to a plan you can walk into the room with.
Step 1
Set Your Wall Size
Enter your wall's width and height in inches. Suprtiles scales everything to your actual wall so every layout decision is grounded in reality.
Step 2
Add Your Frames
Choose standard sizes (4×6, 5×7, 8×10, 11×14) or enter custom dimensions. Mix portrait and landscape freely.
Step 3
Arrange & Experiment
Drag frames into position, align edges, adjust spacing. Try grid, cluster, or staircase layouts — no commitment required.
Step 4
Preview on Your Wall
Drop your layout onto a realistic room scene. Adjust lighting to see how shadows fall before you pick up the hammer.
Popular Gallery Wall Styles

Gallery Wall Planning FAQ
Everything you need to know before you start planning.
What is a gallery wall planner?
A gallery wall planner is a digital tool that lets you arrange virtual frames on a scaled canvas before touching your actual wall. You set your wall dimensions, add frame sizes, then drag and arrange until the layout feels right. Suprtiles is a browser-based gallery wall planner — no download needed.
How do I plan a gallery wall from scratch?
Start by measuring your wall and deciding roughly how much space to fill. Open Suprtiles, enter those measurements, add frames in the sizes you own, drag them into position, keep spacing consistent (2–4 inches between frames), and check the layout looks balanced before you hang anything.
What frame sizes work best for a gallery wall?
A mix of sizes creates the most visually interesting result. A common starting point: one large anchor (11×14 or 16×20), two or three medium frames (8×10 or 5×7), and a few small frames (4×6) to fill gaps. Keeping all frames the same color ties the arrangement together even when sizes vary.
How much spacing should there be between frames?
2–4 inches is the standard recommendation. Closer than 2 inches feels cramped; more than 4 inches makes the wall look like individual pieces rather than a cohesive gallery. Consistent spacing matters more than the exact number.
How high should a gallery wall be hung?
The visual center of the whole arrangement should sit at roughly 57–60 inches from the floor — about eye level for a standing adult. If hanging above furniture, leave 6–8 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the lowest frame.
Can I plan a gallery wall for a staircase?
Yes. Suprtiles has a staircase canvas mode that lets you add a diagonal baseline matching your stair angle. Frames follow that line naturally, so you can plan the ascending layout before cutting a single piece of painter's tape.
Do I need to buy specific frames to use Suprtiles?
No. Suprtiles works with any frame dimensions — standard sizes or fully custom. You can plan with frames you already own, frames you're considering, or a mix of both. Suprtiles also sells magnetic frames designed to make rearranging painless after installation.
Is Suprtiles free to use?
Yes, the core layout designer is free. Open it in any browser, no account required. Add frames, arrange your layout, and preview it on a room scene without paying anything.
How is Suprtiles different from Canva or PowerPoint?
Generic design tools work in arbitrary units — there's no concept of a real wall or real frame. Suprtiles is built specifically for physical walls: every dimension maps to actual inches, spacing cues follow interior design conventions, and the room preview shows your layout in a realistic scene rather than on a white canvas.
Can I use Suprtiles on my phone?
Yes. Suprtiles is touch-optimized — you can pinch to zoom and tap to select frames on mobile. Starting on desktop gives more screen real estate for the canvas, but the tool is fully functional on any modern smartphone or tablet.
