You've saved twenty pins, measured the wall three times, and still haven't ordered a single print. That's not indecision — that's a planning problem, and it has a very practical solution. Below you'll find three ready-to-use gallery wall templates sized precisely for the botanical print downloads in our studio collection, so you can stop arranging rectangles in your head and start hanging.
Each template is written as a copy-paste brief: exact centimetre dimensions, recommended gap widths, and a one-line note on which room it suits best. Work through them in order of complexity, pick the one that matches your wall, then download accordingly.
Template 1 — The 3-Piece Linear (total width: 110 cm)
Three prints at 30×40 cm each, hung side by side with 5 cm gaps between frames. The finished row spans exactly 110 cm — wide enough to anchor a console table or fill the wall above a narrow hallway radiator shelf without overwhelming the space.
Visually, the linear format reads as a single horizontal statement. For Sempervivum botanical prints, this works beautifully because each rosette sits at a slightly different growth stage; the eye travels left to right as if reading a botanical field study. Keep all three frames identical — thin black metal or natural oak — so the prints themselves carry the variation.
Best room match: Hallway (above a console, centred on the wall) or a narrow kitchen wall opposite the window.
Template 2 — The 5-Piece Cluster (anchor + satellites)
One 40×50 cm print as the central anchor, surrounded by four 21×30 cm prints — one above, one below, one to each side — with 4 cm gaps throughout. The total footprint lands around 88 cm wide × 98 cm tall, which sits comfortably above a sofa or a bed's headboard without touching the ceiling in a standard 240 cm room.
The size contrast is the point. The large anchor draws the eye first; the four smaller prints give context and rhythm. Mix frame weights here — a slightly chunkier frame on the anchor, slimmer profiles on the satellites — to reinforce the hierarchy without needing to say a word about it.
Best room match: Above a sofa (living room feature wall) or centred above a double bed as statement wall art for living room and bedroom alike.
Template 3 — The 9-Piece Grid (3×3 formation)
Nine identical 21×30 cm prints in three columns and three rows, with 3 cm gaps between every frame. Total dimensions: approximately 69 cm wide × 96 cm tall. This is the most precise of the three templates — the grid tolerates zero drift, so the paper mock-up method below is not optional here.
The uniformity of a 3×3 grid turns nine individual botanical prints into a single architectural object on the wall. It works especially well in rooms where you want texture without colour chaos: nine Sempervivum rosettes in muted sage and dusty rose read as almost monochromatic from across the room, then reveal extraordinary detail up close.
Best room match: Staircase wall (hung portrait-orientated along the rise) or a bedroom alcove where symmetry matters.
The Paper Mock-Up Method: Hang It Before You Order
The single most common gallery wall mistake is hanging everything too high. Eye level is roughly 145–150 cm from the floor to the centre of the arrangement — not to the top frame. Before downloading and printing, test your chosen template with newspaper.
Here's the exact process:
- Cut newspaper sheets to the precise frame size you plan to use (e.g. 30×40 cm including the frame border — add roughly 1–2 cm per side to your print dimension).
- Mark the centre of each sheet with a cross in pencil.
- Tape all sheets to the wall in your chosen template formation, maintaining the specified gaps with a ruler.
- Step back. Check that the centre of the arrangement sits at 148 cm from the floor. Adjust.
- Mark each hanging point through the paper with a light pencil dot, remove the sheets, and you're done.
This costs nothing and takes under 20 minutes. It will save you a wall full of unnecessary holes and the frustration of a layout that felt right on screen but reads wrong in the room.
Colour and Light: Matching the Template to Your Space
All three templates perform differently depending on wall colour and natural light. A few concrete pairings that work with Sempervivum botanical prints:
- Template 1 on a warm white or pale plaster wall: The horizontal line emphasises the botanical detail; works in north-facing rooms where cool natural light keeps greens from going yellow.
- Template 2 against a deep sage or forest green wall: The anchor print disappears slightly into the background, making the cluster feel embedded rather than applied — intentional and calm.
- Template 3 on a neutral mid-grey: The grid becomes architectural. The rosette's natural terracotta and burgundy tones pop against grey in a way they don't against white.
If you're unsure which palette to commit to, the colour match tool lets you test the prints against your specific wall hex before downloading anything.
