Custom Pet Gallery Wall

Custom Pet Gallery Wall

Your pet already thinks they rule the house—why not make it official with a custom gallery wall? Whether they’re a majestic mutt, a mischievous troublemaker, or the undisputed food thief of your household, framing them is a fun way to celebrate their larger-than-life personalities.  

Chris, in HR, framed his tabby cat—complete with that rockin’ collar—in 206 Natural Maple Wood, because even a cat with that much attitude deserves a classy frame. 

Creating a Pet Gallery Wall 


A pet gallery wall isn’t just décor—it’s a shrine to your four-legged (or feathered, or scaly) companion. Go symmetrical for a clean, museum-style setup or mix things up with an eclectic arrangement that screams “organized chaos.” Whatever your style, custom frames let you highlight their quirks—whether they’re the king of zoomies or a cat with permanent judgmental side-eye. 

Lindsay, in Marketing framed her tiny dog army (plus one regular-sized dog and a very patient cat), in 272111 - Grey Wash Cherry Wood Frame —she pulled in the grey from her cat for a coordinated look. Smart move.

Why Custom Framing Matters 

Custom frames do more than display your pet’s image—they preserve their memory with quality materials that stand the test of time. Whether you’re framing a playful snapshot, a regal portrait, or a collage of your pet’s best moments, custom framing ensures a polished look. Choose from: 

  • Frames as Bold as Your Pet’s Personality – That giant portrait of your dog looking majestic in a sunbeam? Or your cat judging you from their favorite perch? A large-scale print deserves a frame that does it justice—giving your furry (or feathery) friend the spotlight they know they deserve.
  • The Warmth of Wood, Just Like Your Dog’s Favorite Stick – There’s something comforting about a wood frame—kind of like that one stick your dog insists on bringing inside. Whether you go for a simple, modern profile or an ornate, deatiled design, wood frames add a touch of warmth (no fetch required!). 
  • Sleek, Modern, and Cat-Approved – Metal frames offer that cool, contemporary vibe—perfect for pets who demand a certain level of sophistication. They’re minimalist, stylish, and pair well with any décor, just like the expensive pet bed your cat will never use.

Design Tips 

  • Mix and Match—Because Your Pet Has Layers – Just like your dog’s ability to be both a fearless protector and absolutely terrified of the vacuum, mixing wood and metal frames adds texture and contrast to your gallery wall. A sleek metal frame for that “caught mid-air” frisbee grab? A warm wood frame for the post-park nap where they look like a furry little angel? It’s all about balance—just like your cat, who is both dignified and an expert at falling off furniture. 
  • Play with Sizes—Some Moments Deserve the Spotlight – That epic, slow-motion shake-off after bath time? Absolutely needs a large frame. A sequence of tiny, unimpressed expressions documenting your cat’s daily attitude? Those belong in a tight, museum-worthy arrangement. Mixing frame sizes helps tell the full story—whether it’s your dog’s heroic attempts to fit a stick twice their size through a doorway or your cat’s many, many judgmental glares. 
  • Keep a Theme—Or Embrace the Drama – Whether you're capturing black-and-white portraits of your pet looking like they’re deep in thought (probably about snacks), vibrant action shots from their latest squirrel-chasing escapade, or a series of photos proving your cat could win an Oscar for their dramatic flops, a consistent theme ties your display together. Or, if your pet has the emotional range of a Shakespearean actor, let your gallery wall reflect their many moods.
