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.

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.'
