In this article, we will give your ideas on how to decorate your space with a split-panel print and show different types and themes of art.
What are the types?
The multi-panel canvas represents an image split into several pieces. Separate folds, usually of large sizes, are put together - they unite and create a singular picture. Depending on the size of your room, style, and preferences, you can choose:
- diptych: It consists of two pieces. A creative decoration to refresh the atmosphere of a classic bedroom or living room. Thanks to the repetition and symmetry, it gives a clean look and a simple arrangement.
- triptych: A triptych is an arrangement consisting of three pieces put together. The picture itself can be horizontal or vertical. Here appears the rule of repetition again. The whole unit looks fresh and eye-pleasing thanks to equal parts repeating in space. If 2-piece art is a perfect complement for a classic or minimalist interior, a 3-panel artwork would be a superb addition to a contemporary or bohemian interior. An uneven number is associated with a relaxed atmosphere and rest.
- polyptych: A polyptych is made up of four, five, or even more pieces. This is the best way to cover the whole wall with a unique piece, create a focal point and simply add a character to the room interior. 4- or 5-panel canvas would be an awesome way to display your favorite family photo or surprise your guests with an abstract oversized painting.

Why choose multi-panel prints?

your decor and furniture in terms of color and
form. Also, consider the proportion, and check
the basic rules for hanging wall decoration. Try
to select an artwork that correlates with the
mood and general atmosphere of your house - that
way it would not look odd. Experiment with the
formats and sizes until you find the appropriate
one. You can pick a size of the desired artwork,
get paper of that size and stick it to the wall
to see a real size result. Images in online
shops may be deceitful.
