Today, home interiors easily accept modular paintings, no matter what style it is decorated in. There are exceptions to the rule (for example, for Japanese minimalism and Victorian style), but they are very conditional. Meanwhile, the modular picture itself is wonderful gift to a loved one or to yourself, or to a married couple, for example, for a housewarming party or for another anniversary...
It should probably be noted that today the prices for these stylish and fashionable interior decorations are very affordable. There is a choice of everything – both original modern and strict classics. The view can be any - more or less colorful (even black and white), be it landscape, portrait, still life, graphics or abstraction.
The “People's Encyclopedia” defines a modular painting as: “A polyptych is several paintings connected by a common concept (plot) or common theme, as well as the unity of color structure and composition.” In other words, this image (photo card, printed poster, graphic work, painting on canvas), made on separate fragments, which should be placed close to each other. Paintings divided into two parts are called diptychs; triple paintings - triptych; four - quadroptych and so on, but in general the list of names is as follows:
In the practice of interior design, three- and pentaptychs are most often used, and classical painting fits very well into block formats. After all polyptych It was invented (during the Renaissance) and regularly used by many world-famous masters of painting. Among the authors are Dutch Hieronymus Bosch and Peter Paul Rubens, the Italian Giotto di Bondone, his godson Tadeo Gaddi and others, among whom are many temple painters whose names have not survived.
The format of a segmented painting can be any - from “full wall” (for example, 500x250 cm) to “above the table” (50x30 cm). As a rule, size plays a role only in terms of placement - whether or not the picture will fit on the existing section of the wall. Quite rarely, the design and psychological effect is 90% dependent on the size of the polyptych. According to the placement scheme, segmented canvases are divided into:
With any scheme, thanks to the properties of human vision, the divided image merges into a single whole and looks three-dimensional. A more or less dynamic polyptych painting creates the effect of presence, as if it comes to life, and even from a distance the plot and composition of the painting charge with their energy.
The impression can be equally strong both from a wall-mounted panorama masterpiece and from a miniature above the table. And it should be noted that very often, pictures divided into separate fragments influence the human imagination more strongly than their whole counterparts.
A block painting in medium and large format can become the final link in an interior created on contrasts. It can also enhance the accent that gives the whole room general style and/or current mood. A small polyptych, in particular, tabletop and above-table, produces a local effect, for example, it enlivens the workplace.
Designers recommend placing a large modular painting on a separate wall, for example, above a sofa or bed. The placement of a large-format polyptych (“from the ceiling to the plinth”) on the wall above a free section of the floor is no worse. In both cases, the room - living room, hallway or another - will look fresh and original, in general, in a new way.
Whether you have experience or not, in any case, when decorating rooms with painting, be guided by personal preferences. This is exactly how you create your own individual style in the interior.
There are no restrictions either on the subject or on the genre of painting in general. In particular, the plot and composition are selected depending on the purpose of a particular room. For example, a polyptych in the genre classical painting Suitable primarily for the living room, hallway and bedroom. Abstraction is good in the living room; funny stories - for children's rooms and hallways... On the other hand, it is a matter of taste - restrictions are imposed only by personal preferences.
Today, mass-produced modular paintings print on different materials, and most often this is fabric or non-woven canvas and polymer film. In both cases, printing technology ensures the highest color rendition of a photograph or reproduction of a painting. Created to order or in small series, segmented paintings today are painted on canvas, usually with acrylic or oil paints.
Polyptychs on canvas and printed posters are placed with or without frames in ordinary rooms, with normal (room) temperature and humidity conditions. Simply put, in the bedroom, living room and hallway, everything is suitable, even rice paper.
Polymer materials, in particular good old vinyl, are appropriate in the kitchen and bathroom. Polymer polyptychs can be installed directly on the wall, as well as on a transparent or opaque base. Today a very popular solution is when a segmented picture made on a self-adhesive film is attached with inside glass Pictures on glass effectively resist moisture and require minimal maintenance.
In addition to the bathroom and kitchen, especially resistant materials and durable structures require open or semi-open spaces:
In a word, materials for extreme conditions will be needed wherever they “walk”: wind, cold, sunlight, dry heat and humid fog. The same principle is observed when choosing a modular picture for ship cabins.
Modern full-size apartment Be sure to have a spacious hallway. It is this room that forms the image of our home in the first place. Accordingly, the design of the hallway depends on our desire to influence the guests One way or another:
Designers say: in the interior of a hallway, paintings with easy-to-understand—simple and clear subjects that do not require study and lengthy deliberation—are more appropriate.
If there is not enough space, a flat photo poster will fit well in the hallway, which can easily be given a modular format in the form of a triptych or even a pentaptych.
A sufficiently wide or long corridor allows you to arrange a mini-gallery with several paintings, including modular ones. You can place something neutral in the corridor and hallway, and place the “most relish” in the living room.
For beginners, the best place for your first modular painting is the living room. Here we communicate with other people - we receive welcome and other guests - both people close to us and officials. In other words, in the living room there are:
The picture in the living room can be placed above the sofa , to the side or opposite it, and created mood, will depend on its content and composition.
Design experts advise placing bright modular canvases with an original theme in the living room interior. Modular paintings with a large number of segments are good here, and the more parts, the more interesting the room looks. The living room does not have to be strictly symmetrical; you should not strive for geometrically correct forms; no need to get attached to one color scheme. Color solution, the plot and composition of the polyptych should be selected to match the main elements of the interior. Including:
The picture will fit harmoniously, and will neither “harm the eye” nor “scream” when only a few of its fragments or part of the expressive elements correspond to the overall color design.
For most people, the home kitchen becomes the main place where they spend time at home. Here you can:
According to the plot, a still life depicting food products, for example, canvases with fruits and (or) vegetables, drinks (coffee, cocoa, juices, tea), game, flowers, table greens, is good for the kitchen. Landscapes are also appropriate here and it’s better with wildlife or a pastoral plot.
Children grow up and over time their tastes change, and the theme of the wall “painting” changes accordingly. At the initiative of parents, the frequency of renewal ranges from 2 to 5, possibly 7 years. The younger generation may have their own opinion - usually less conservative than their parents.
It is known that during the period of growing up (11 - 16 years old), the tastes of a teenager change quickly - so that fashion posters will be updated several times a year. Accordingly, for a children's room it is necessary to provide an easily replaceable design of a modular picture.
In general, the simplest themes are best suited for a child's room. For example, for children under 12 years old the following images are appropriate:
Animals or plants should be depicted in different shades of the main color in the design of a children's room. For a child's room under 3 years old, you can choose segments painted in different colors that fit harmoniously into the overall color scheme.
For older children, selections are appropriate, which should be in the same style and made on canvas or printed on paper or a polymer sheet. These can be large format:
Regarding the technical specifics, it should be noted that the inhabitants of the nursery are very eccentric individuals. They can:
And a lot more can be suggested by an indefatigable childhood imagination. It is clear that bulky structures, fragile and unwashable materials will be inappropriate.
Premises for purely personal matters, in particular, the bedroom is intended for deep rest - intimate relationships with other people and sleep. Pictures that promote relaxation of the mind are appropriate here - distraction from annoying thoughts in order to relieve mental stress after a difficult or ordinary working day.
For the bedroom, it is recommended to choose polyptychs made in calm, soft colors, for example, images of flowers and landscapes in pastel colors. It’s a little more difficult, but it’s also possible to choose portraits with calm faces. You can also choose a “portrait” of non-aggressive animals: frolicking or sleeping kittens, cats, tigers, dogs, a good-natured bear, red deer, etc.
A combined solution for multifunctional rooms - a bedroom-office or a bedroom-studio - is also possible. In such cases, the thumbnail is above the desktop and wall painting(visible from the threshold or from the sleeping place) should contain different scenes. Naturally, both paintings should fit harmoniously into the overall interior of the bedroom and work space.
The bathroom and toilet are places of solitude for purely personal hygiene that also require distraction from worries. When decorating a bathroom, it is usually not recommended to use cold tones of blue-green shades. At the same time, warm greenery (hazel) or the soft blue of the evening sky are appropriate. Meanwhile, practice shows that a tastefully selected modular fabric turns a generally standard bathroom into a stylish SPA salon.
Modular paintings or “variations on the theme” of the polyptych, despite their “abstruse” name, are quite easy to use. Choosing the size of a place for paintings is not difficult, since there are no strict proportions. Segmented canvases and film paintings are selected in accordance with the parameters of the location, for example:
At the same time, for wall placement Interior experts recommend avoiding polyptychs with small fragments. Minimum size the length or width of the segment is 30 cm.
For mass-produced wall works standard size segments range from 80 to 120 cm in height and 120 – 170 cm in width. This is the most universal format that optimally fits into the interior and cubic capacity:
Fragments of canvases may not have frames, which makes the image more airy and more convenient for perception. A frameless (paper, vinyl or cardboard) picture, which includes several parts, is no more difficult to install than large-format photo wallpaper.
A simple and lightweight polyptych, such as a frameless poster, can be fastened in a chosen place quickly and reliably using glue or special tape. More complex structures require more thorough fastening. This, for example, is a composite painting of several framed canvases.
A standard photographic picture (poster) placed on a solid base will require reliable fixation:
This design (see photo 15) is hung on the wall thoroughly, for example, using dowels. Paper, fabric or film posters here may change as they age physically or morally, but the supporting structure itself remains the same
So, with the participation of a painting, even the most boring wall comes to life. And with a successful choice of plot and format, the whole room will come to life - after all, modular paintings add a piquant twist to the interior.
With the help of professionals or on your own, you can create something that will make your guests admire. Yes for you too fine arts will open in a new way. And you can rest assured that your home will look stylish, and today, now, the interior will look especially fashionable.

Model paintings are a fashionable decoration for any interior. At their core, these are reproductions of paintings famous artists, good photographs, even children's drawings, which are divided into several segments and hung on the wall.
Most often, conceptual works are used as the basis for a modular painting. contemporary artists. However, if you divide the reproduction into several rectangular parts, you will get an interesting artistic accent, emphasizing the “seemingly” ancient interior in dark colors. Contemporary art whatever it doesn’t unite into a single whole.
In addition to rectangular segments, you can divide the base into squares, wavy fragments, trapezoids and even triangles.

If the interior allows, you can buy a print of an ancient engraving. Many people use beautiful photos from the network, ordering them printed in large format.

Modular paintings appeared on the modern decor market seemingly out of nowhere. Not everyone even has a good idea of what it is. Most of the time people think that modular paintings are ordinary paintings, only divided into modules (segments), related to each other by the same theme or idea. This is partly true. The image, printed on high-quality canvas, is cut into fragments and stretched onto a base. It is after these manipulations that the canvas becomes a modular painting, so popular today. Therefore, the second name for such paintings is segmented. But if you look more broadly, the modular picture is a mixture historical traditions and current trends.
In the second half of the 20th century, the world learned about such movements as cubism (in painting) and minimalism (in design). Cubism's main goal is to construct a three-dimensional form on a plane using combinations geometric shapes(cube, cone, circle, etc.). This style is very clearly represented in the works of Pablo Picasso.
Minimalism is the desire to get away from luxury and elegance, to fill the space around you with objects of strict geometric shapes, furniture devoid of any decoration or decoration. The general trend is the desire for simplicity of shapes and colors. The only acceptable interior decor in this style were posters and bright pictures without frames
It was at this time that designers proposed an original, absolutely unpretentious and simple version of the decor - modular paintings.
It must be said that the very idea of modular paintings is not new. If we turn to medieval church painting, we can find compositions consisting of several icons, where the middle part (usually largest size) is bordered by smaller ones. They are called "diptych", "triptych" or "polyptych". By the way, these names are also found in modern modular paintings, but first things first.
With the variety of modern decor available, buyers and designers have again turned to modular paintings. Why?
The thing is that today there is more free space in residential premises. Walls not covered with carpets and rooms not filled with furniture - they just ask for decoration in the form of some bright spot.
The picture on the stack, no matter how beautiful and bright it may be, looks ordinary and familiar. People want something new, fresh, modern. Modular painting is original, always non-standard solution for interior decoration. Selected according to the color scheme, it will fit into the decor, complement it and create completeness. Parts (segments) of a modular painting can add dynamics and movement to the painting, make the composition more expressive, and emphasize its originality.
The number of modules in a segmented picture may vary. A standard modular painting is a canvas divided into two. three or five parts - just the same diptych, triptych and polyptych. The illusion is created that the plot moves from one canvas (module) to another. For this reason, modular paintings are not framed or framed. Companies that produce such paintings offer a wide variety of module solutions: different in width, height and shape, symmetrical or asymmetrical, static or dynamic.
A modular painting can either literally save the most unremarkable interior or ruin the original idea. It is quite simple to predict what effect a particular composition will have: just listen to the advice on choosing.

Very often, when planning interior decor, people ask the question: what is better - a modular painting or photo wallpaper? It all depends on the goals you are pursuing.
Beautiful and inexpensive, you can order with any desired images, they are printed quickly - this can be said about modular paintings and photo wallpapers. But the difference between them is quite significant.
We should start with the fact that photo wallpaper is still wallpaper: they usually decorate the entire wall. And modular paintings decorate any fragment of the interior wall. But both types of decor have their advantages.
However, photo wallpapers also have disadvantages.
First of all, this is the laboriousness of gluing. The wall under the wallpaper must be carefully leveled, the joints must be adjusted to the nearest millimeter. Changing boring wallpaper for the same reason will not be very easy. And photo wallpaper cannot be given as a gift - unlike a modular painting.
So what affects the price of a modular painting? “Of course. number of modules!” - you will answer. Not only that. The fact is that modular paintings can be printed on completely different surfaces: polyester, natural canvas, and even on a surface that imitates a fresco or brush strokes oil painting. For additional protection, products can be coated with a special varnish, which also affects the cost. But first things first.
No matter how tempting the offers to buy modular paintings at ultra-low prices may be, these are often ploys to lure you to their website. By purchasing paintings in specialized stores, you will not only receive quality product on time, but also a guarantee from the manufacturer.
Of course, the fewer segments, the cheaper the painting will cost. Naturally, provided that the surface type of the paintings being compared is the same.
The minimum number of modules is two. Segments can be either the same in size or different, when one element (usually the semantic center of the composition) is larger than the other.
The most inexpensive modular painting in trusted stores with a guarantee costs 1990 rubles. This amount includes high-quality printing on polyester canvas, a pine stretcher, work on stretching the canvas without folds or creases, as well as fastening elements.
Printing the same painting on a surface that imitates a fresco or oil painting will cost about 1,000 rubles. more expensive. And if you order a painting for the kitchen (where the humidity is quite high) or the nursery (where children will constantly try to touch the painting), you will be offered to additionally coat the canvas with varnish. This is done using special equipment that prevents the appearance of smudges. The cost of coverage is from 300 rubles/mg.
In total, a two-section painting will cost from 1990 to 3500 rubles.
A triptych is a painting made up of three segments. The most popular type of modular paintings. In the center there is the main image, on which the eye falls first, and at the edges there are additional ones.
The price of the triptych in the “basic configuration” is from 3190 rubles. To make an imitation of a fresco or oil painting will be
Size future painting you can choose for yourself. The same image, divided into the same number of modules, can be printed and turned into a painting measuring 1 x 1 m, 1.5 x 1.5 m or larger. However, the price will increase. cost from 4,500 rubles. Canvas with varnish will cost up to 5,000 rubles.
In total, a three-section painting will cost from 3190 to 5000 rubles.
Paintings that consist of more than three modules combined into one group are ordered less frequently. Therefore, the price for them is not much higher than for three-section ones. A standard modular painting of four segments will cost an average of 3,800 rubles, a polyptych - from 4,300 rubles.
The greater the number of modules used in a painting, the higher its cost will be. Usually maximum quantity There are seven segments that are available for purchase without an individual order. The price of such a painting is from 8,000 rubles.
In total, sleds with four or more segments will cost from 3,800 to 8,000 rubles.
Here the customer can only be limited by his imagination and the thickness of his wallet. Manufacturing companies offer to produce similar paintings from any number of modules, of any size, at the most various materials. But the main thing is that you can print absolutely any image from your photo album!
