2 Piece Wall Art
2 piece wall art designed to hang as a matching pair — each diptych wall art set of 2 creates one refined focal point, with tall panels that bring balance and height to living room, bedroom and hallway walls. Hang a diptych above the sofa or bed, or place one panel either side of a doorway or mirror.
A diptych is a single composition split across two canvases, so the pair reads as one artwork on the wall. From minimalist and Japanese-inspired diptychs to coastal scenes, botanicals and abstract pairs, every 2 piece canvas set is available framed in wood or walnut and arrives ready to hang.

2 piece wall art - frequently asked questions
Sizing, hanging height and the questions we are asked most.
What is a diptych?
A diptych is a single artwork split across two panels, designed to hang side by side as one composition. It is not two matching pictures - the image continues from one canvas to the next, so the pair reads as a whole. The word comes from the Greek for 'two-folded', originally describing hinged writing tablets.
How far apart should you hang a two-piece wall art set?
Between 2in and 4in (5-10cm). Closer than that and the two panels read as one crowded image; wider and the composition breaks apart. Keep the gap consistent and get the two tops level - a set of two shows any misalignment far more obviously than a single piece does.
What size should a two-piece set be for above a sofa or bed?
Add the two panel widths plus the gap and aim for about two-thirds of the furniture width below. Two 16"x48" (40x120cm) panels hung vertically with a 3in (8cm) gap span roughly 35in (90cm) - right for a two-seater or a double bed. Two 20"x60" (50x150cm) panels span about 43in (110cm), which suits a three-seater or a king bed.
Can you hang the two panels apart rather than side by side?
You can, and it works well either side of a doorway, mirror or window - the two panels frame whatever sits between them. What does not work is splitting a diptych across two different walls: the image is designed to continue across the gap, so separating it too far breaks the composition it was made for.
Is a two-piece set better than one large canvas?
A set gives you more width for the same visual weight, and the vertical break between panels adds a bit of height to the arrangement - useful above a low sofa or a bed with no headboard. A single canvas is simpler to hang and gives a cleaner, quieter result. If the wall is very wide, consider a three-piece set instead.

Let customers speak for us
Excellent service, picture looks amazing and arrived very quickly and was very well packaged. Easy to install on the wall and looks superb..
Lovely picture, great quality and supernatural delivered. Would definitely recommend
Beautiful picture for a narrow wall. The colors are prettier in person.
We received our print in a timely manner. Upon unpacking, we noticed a bulge in the canvas and some lines in the canvas and imprint from the wood that goes across in the back. I reached out and the company sent another one that came perfect. It is now displayed in our foyer and looks great!
Beautiful, just as I wanted, excellent framing and a swift delivery
The perfect statement piece. The graceful heron, soft neutral palette, and walnut floating frame brought warmth and serenity to our dining room. It feels elegant, timeless, and collected rather than trendy. The quality is exceptional and the artwork looks even more beautiful in person than online. I love it so much, that I’m going to order another!
I’m over the moon with my beautiful Sunset wall art. It finishes off my hallway and has received so many compliments from visitors.
Second piece bought now and both are great. Exactly as described and very well packaged for transit.
I love the quality and styling of the print, I was unsure about buying something so big without seeing it but I am very happy with the product. The colours are true to the image and the effect with the floating frame is perfect. I would buy again from Atelier, I trust the product and delivery was quick considering it was a specific design, size and frame.
I bought the 30 x 90 canvas with a floating canvas frame in the colour wood and I couldn't be happier with it. Great quality, well packaged. Highly recommend.
This artwork brought just the right look to my entry that I was trying to achieve. It’s beautiful and calming and in a beautiful quality frame.
Better than presented online. We love it. Super high quality framing and hardware.
