Firstly, the modules perform the function of an art object that fills a room with aesthetic meaning, makes its design individual and memorable. Secondly, modular images solve the issue of decorating an empty wall, as they consist of several panels and occupy a large area.

What are modular paintings and their varieties
Modular paintings in the interior of a living room, bedroom or other room are an object of art consisting of several segments. If you connect them together, you can get the whole picture. Such images are conventionally divided by the number of segments, by their size and by the method of location on the surface.
By number of segments
Depending on how many segments the canvas is divided into, it is called a diptych, triptych, pentatech or polyptych.
Diptych consists of only two modules. It is well suited for small rooms, as it occupies a minimum of space, and at the same time successfully decorates the room.

By size of segments
To understand how to choose a modular picture for the interior, you need to know the size of the room and its features. If you buy a triptych from narrow vertical modules in a narrow room with high ceilings, then it will make the proportions of the room even more incorrect. But equilateral modules of the same size are well suited to such a room.
For a spacious room with high ceilings, you can choose modules of different sizes - both large and small. For a large room with low ceilings, modules of the correct geometric forts, with almost the same length of the sides, are selected.
Vertical modules of the same height and width.
Options for module sizes:
- squares (several square-shaped modules of the same size);
- identical vertical rectangles;
- vertical rectangles of different widths;
- rectangles of different heights;
- modules of different widths and heights.

By location of segments on the wall
Modular paintings have one of five ways:
Horizontally. Each module is mounted at a distance from the other along the horizontal axis. This arrangement visually increases the space of the room.
Vertically. The modules are mounted at a distance below each other. This technique is suitable for rooms with low ceilings, as it visually stretches the space.
Triptych “Waterfall” creates the illusion of water falling from one module to another, making ceilings higher.
Jigsaw puzzle. Modules form a square, circle or other accessible shape, building them like a puzzle.It is best to assemble the puzzle on a large wall, not occupied by furniture or other decor.
Ladder. Most often, modules of different sizes in height are arranged in this way. If each module has its own plot, and a style or theme unites them in a single picture, then you can place pictures at different distances from each other. If the modules are united by one picture, then they are built according to the picture.

Asymmetrically. Panels of completely different sizes and shapes are positioned arbitrarily, creating a feeling of well-organized chaos. Or they can withstand the horizontal or vertical axis, stringing on it paintings of various shapes, but of a single theme.
