What happens when a timeless decorating staple meets a music icon? You get Paul McCartney's dining room gallery wall. We first highlighted the Beatles musician's curated frames a while back, and as we look at them in 2026, they remain as inspiring as ever.
This enduring charm comes as no surprise given the history of the design. Though a beloved feature in modern interiors, gallery walls date back to the 1670s as an official display format for the Académie des Beaux-Arts in France. Artworks were hung from floor to ceiling in tightly packed arrangements, much like the curated walls we admire today.
