Charli XCX's gallery wall transforms her eclectic home studio into a vibrant, personalized space – experts swear by this artistic addition

Charli XCX's new collaboration with Billie Eilish has set the world on fire, but we're more concerned about the decor in her home studio. The singer's maximalist space is a masterclass in personalized, eclectic, and maximalist decor.

Perhaps the strongest embodiment of these themes is the gallery wall in her home studio room. The space features white walls covered in famed posters, art pieces, and photographs above a white piano. Tudor details from the home like exposed brick walls and period windows enhance the eclectic feel of the room. Accessories like plants, a mirror, and candles on top of the piano contribute to a maximalist, lived-in feel.

Interior designers and style experts love the look of the walls in Charli's music room. 'A gallery wall in an eclectic space serves as a focal point, bringing together diverse elements to create a unified visual story,' says Elissa Hall, founder and principal designer of EDH Interiors. She continues: 'It allows homeowners to showcase their personality and interests through a curated collection of art, photographs, and memorabilia. The mix of different frames, sizes, and styles can add depth and texture to the room, creating an engaging and dynamic atmosphere. For example, in one project, I used a gallery wall to display a client's travel souvenirs and vintage posters, which transformed a plain living room into a vibrant, personalized space.'

Charli's designer enhances the effects of the gallery wall by mixing in a mirror above the piano to reflect light and provide contrast. Hall states: 'Alternating frames with mirrors in a gallery wall not only breaks the monotony but also enhances the room's lighting and sense of space. Mirrors reflect light, making the room appear brighter and more spacious, which is particularly beneficial in smaller or darker areas.'

She continues on decorating with mirrors, 'This technique adds a layer of sophistication and can create interesting visual contrasts. In a recent project, I incorporated antique mirrors with art prints on a gallery wall in a narrow hallway. The mirrors not only added elegance but also made the hallway feel less confined and more inviting.'

In addition to the gallery wall, it's the accessories that make the 365 party girl's space pop. A few indoor plants, bright lighting, and the right frames push this space a bump above the rest. We picked out this dieffenbachia plant, frames, and orange desk lamp to match the style of Charli's home studio.

For those hoping to DIY a gallery wall like the one in Charli's studio, Hall recommends: 'To recreate this eclectic gallery wall look, start by selecting a mix of art pieces that resonate with your personal style and experiences. Don't be afraid to mix different frame styles and sizes to add visual interest. Lay out your arrangement on the floor first to experiment with different configurations before committing to the wall. Incorporate a few mirrors strategically to enhance light and create depth. Remember, the goal is to create a cohesive yet diverse display that tells your unique story.'

Gallery walls are a tried and true method for bringing a sense of character and artistic energy to your home. In Charli XCX's home studio, the look is a welcome complement to her eclectic, maximalist space.
