About & FAQ

Gallery wall planner questions, answered.

Once Upon A Home makes the first call on your layout so you don't spend a Saturday holding frames against a wall. Here's how it works and what you get.

What Once Upon A Home is

Once Upon A Home is a gallery wall planner. Give it your photos and your wall dimensions, and it arranges a layout sized to the space — then shows it true-to-scale before you drill.

When you're happy, you buy a one-off pass and get a printable, life-size stencil plus a shopping list of real, in-stock frame sizes.

Questions

What does Once Upon A Home actually do?
You upload your photos and give us your wall size. Once Upon A Home arranges the layout for you, shows it true-to-scale on a room view, and then hands you a printable life-size stencil so you can hang it without guessing.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Design as much as you like without signing in. You only need an account when you want your wall saved or when you export the guide.
How many photos can I use?
As many as your wall can hold. Most tools cap out around twelve frames — Once Upon A Home doesn't.
What do I get when I pay?
A printable PDF stencil at 1:1 scale with registration marks and a calibration square, plus a shopping list matched to real frame sizes from IKEA, Amazon and Target in your region.
Do I have to buy frames from a specific store?
No. The list defaults to one store for simplicity, but you can switch stores globally or per frame, and it adapts to the country you select.
Can I come back to a wall later?
Yes. Signed-in walls are saved to your account — open 'Studio' from the menu and your latest wall loads automatically.
What about refunds?
If the guide doesn't work for you, email us within 30 days and we'll refund it.
