Effective arrangement of the modular picture

“How to hang a painting from several parts on the wall?” - this question is asked by many people who pay due attention to the design of the room. Even an ordinary picture hanging in the wrong place spoils the impression of both the room and its owner. A modular painting always draws attention to itself, so its successful location is extremely important. It is worth taking care of preparing to decorate the room with such a picture in advance.

Combination of painting and room

The best effect from placing a modular painting can be achieved with a competent approach not only to the selection of the painting itself, but also the room in which it will be placed. Everything matters - from size to purpose. It's a good idea to start planning these details before purchasing the jewelry. The ideal result can be achieved when the painting is selected for a specific room.

It is important to consider several characteristics:

• The size of the room is important. A painting consisting of large format modules will look advantageous in a spacious room. But in a small room this option would be inappropriate - it is better to choose a small composition that will not create the effect of oversaturation.
• The concept of decoration also depends on the style in which the overall design of the room is made. It is not necessary to strictly adhere to one style, but you should not combine incompatible things.
• If the room has just been renovated, then you need to buy the painting after all the furniture has been placed.In this case, you can determine the placement on the wall in advance and choose the right size.

Determining the sequence

The picture has been selected, purchased and is waiting in the wings. Now it's time to start placing it. The first thing to do is to determine the order in which the parts will be installed on the wall. It is best to install it starting with the central (or main in terms of the plot) module.

Next, you need to determine the center of the composition. This depends on the number of modules. The center of a diptych (two-element picture) is located in the empty space between the modules. In a triptych (has 3 parts), the center is the middle module. The location of the center of a polyptych can be determined by calculating the total number of segments.

Having applied the first segment to the wall in the desired place, you need to mark the boundaries of the corners of the picture with a pencil. You should make sure that the horizontal line is drawn evenly, otherwise the whole composition will have an unaesthetic slope. Keeping the indentation between the edges of the segments (from 2 to 4 cm, depending on the format), you need to attach the remaining parts to the wall and mark the corners. Having assessed the resulting sketch, you can make the necessary adjustments, and then proceed to the next stage.

Choosing a mounting method

You also need to approach the method of connecting the canvas to the wall wisely. To achieve the desired goals, preference should be given to the most suitable fastening for a particular case. The following factors should be taken into account:

1. The material from which the wall is made, as well as its covering;
2. The period for which the canvases will be placed;
3. Weight;
4. Requirements for maintaining the appearance of the wall covering;
5. The possibility of involving professionals in the process.

Having assessed the work ahead, you can choose one of the mounting options - easy or complex. The first can be done with your own hands at home and does not require the purchase of special devices. You do not need to have special skills to install a modular picture using one of the easy fastening methods. However, heavy objects cannot be attached in this way, but it is perfect for light ones. Complex fastening methods involve a large amount of work, but the result will be more reliable and durable.

• Fixation using office supplies - buttons or pins. The advantages of this easy method include minimal damage to the wall covering, as well as simplicity of action. But this method is only suitable for the lightest posters and photographs. The possibilities of application are also limited by the surface material, because it will not be possible to stick pins into a concrete wall.
• Installation using double-sided adhesive tape. The use of this method guarantees the preservation of both surfaces intact, which is especially important for rooms with high-quality wall coverings. The work is easy to do with your own hands using the most common double-sided tape. For added security, fabric-based adhesive tape can be purchased.
• Attached to a spider hook. Such a tool is securely fixed in the wall using thin claw pins. It can withstand quite a large load, but it cannot be used when the wall is made of concrete.
• Using a nail you can easily and quickly hang a picture on the wall. But this method damages the surface, and its use is not possible everywhere.
• The use of liquid nails provides a very strong fixation on any surface, even in a room with high humidity. However, this method, like any of the list of complex fixations, requires the work of a professional.
• Foaming tape also belongs to complex fixation tools, which means its use requires certain skills. Provides reliable and durable fixation, but only on homogeneous surfaces.
• Using polymer glue you can bond any surface. It takes a long time to dry, but its use gives reliable results.
• Dowels are one of the most popular fastenings for modular paintings. They are attached to the wall and easily removed, and special holes are made on the elements of the picture.
• A Velcro system called “Command” is the most secure way to mount a picture on a wall. Such Velcro is easy to attach and remove without leaving marks on any surface.

Smart location

It is important not only to choose the right picture, but also to successfully place it on the wall. A modular picture attracts attention, so its position should be advantageous. The most optimal center height is 150 cm. It is the location at eye level that will give people the opportunity to view the image in all details without distortion.

The angle of inclination of the mounting of the modular picture should be zero so as not to distort the composition. It is necessary to observe the distance between elements intended by the designer, as well as the sequence of placement. The arrangement of the modules must be strictly parallel.

Separately organized lighting for the painting will add brightness to the image and make it more pleasant to perceive.Ideal lighting for a modular painting should include separate lamps for each of the segments. You should not hang the picture so that the sun's rays fall on it, otherwise the colors may lose their saturation.

Compliance with all recommendations when installing a modular picture on the wall ensures that such interior decoration will favorably highlight the advantages of the room and divert attention from the shortcomings. A correctly selected painting can radically change the appearance of a room and set the desired mood, which will satisfy the aesthetic needs of even the most demanding art connoisseurs.
