We'll be honest: some trends become so ubiquitous that they can reach the point of fatiguing us. It's only when we see a fresh take on a storied style that we become invigorated by it, as is the case with Alicia Silverstone's gallery wall.

The Clueless star recently shared a clip of herself in her entryway, and we couldn't help but admire her frame-covered wall, which sees prints and photos in mismatched encasements covering most of the white paint.

Similarly, Alicia's rattan storage basket (much like this one from QVC) is the perfect way to stay organized in style. I've listed some more of my favorite rattan storage solutions below.

Designers say that gallery walls are technically a timeless trend thanks to their ability to completely transform a blank wall.

'Gallery walls have never truly gone out of style; they have simply evolved,' designer Nina Lichtenstein explains. 'What began as a way to fill a blank wall with memories and mementos has become one of design’s most personal, expressive tools. In 2025, their appeal endures not just because they are beautiful, but because they tell a story.

Amid sleek, minimalist interiors and the rise of AI-generated imagery, people are craving the opposite: something tactile, layered, and deeply human. A gallery wall lets a home speak in its own language, a visual diary of travels, family, and the art that moves you.'

Nina also says that experimenting with different materials is a fantastic way to maintain visual intrigue. We can see that Alicia has done this by mixing natural materials like wood with metals, but even a mirror, like this one from Anthropologie, would work wonders.

'To keep them feeling fresh this year, the key is intentionality,' she explains.

'Instead of covering every inch of a wall in perfectly aligned frames, designers are embracing looser, more organic compositions that breathe. Mixed media is having a moment, with photography beside textiles, a child’s watercolor next to fine art, and a sculptural object interrupting the expected grid. Natural materials are making a comeback too, with wood frames, raw linen mats, and subtle tonal variations that let the art, not the arrangement, become the focus.'
