Can I put two exact large art pieces side by side?

3 months ago

This is AI rendering but was wondering if I can put these palm leaf shadowboxes side by side? It’s a long wall and they are a decent size. I love the contrast of the white & navy.

    Do what you like it is your art and your space . I personally do not understand 2 identical pieces hung together but I aslo only buy original art. not art to "go with" a space . I do not see navy either .

    I wouldn't hang two identical factory made items in the same room.

    I just googled and it looks like it only came as a single piece, in white or black, so no chance of finding a non-identical complementary piece.

    Second with Patricia. You can do what you like as it is your space to enjoy.

    I wouldn’t , but as CAGE said, it’s your place. I would try to find something more interesting & perhaps with more color. I do realize that taste in ”art” is very personal.

    I use idential art but add a third, different piece in between. It isn't apples and apples but wallpaper has a repeat pattern.

    I have no problem with two identical pieces of art being hung together, whether they are factory art or not. BUT, you need to consider where to hang them. These are too far apart. They need to be just a few inches apart so they read as one unit, and they need to be hung on a part of the wall that makes sense for the entire layout of the room.

    Thank you- yes. They are too far apart. This was done thru ChatGPT. It never got it to where I liked it.

    I would love to see a collection of vintage blue transferware plates and platters hung along the wall 😍 but its super personal

    Yes, closer together. The trio from Lyn looks good. I DO see the navy...nice!

    @ciaoginag As you said that you done this through ChatGPT. Give a prompt to create more variations and make it look more elegant. I am sure you will get a plenty of ideas.

    I like large pieces like that but I prefer the pictures above with a 3rd piece.

    Good luck!

    Commenting to say I love your style! You can't go wrong if you are happy with it at the end of the day.

    Thanks so much. I always doubt myself but I like trying things.

    Yes, for sure you can use the two of them. You could move them closer together. Or I think wall sconces could be fabulous- especially since this is your dining room. Beautiful to light the art- as well as for ambience.



    In this first visual- the art is a bit too close together, and the sconces not perfectly positioned; but you get the general idea.






    You could also have the art pieces close together and just use sconces on either side, and no sconce in the center.




    Below- with just one sconce in the center.




    You could alternatively use just one single sconce in the center; the sconce doesn’t have to have two lights on it.



    If you like the idea, you can look for battery operated wall sconces. Some are available with remote control. Amazon has a lot of offerings.

    Thank you!

    If you like them, and I do as well, maybe hang one of them upside down ..?

    There's something about the sameness that strikes me as not quite right. Would you be willing to hang one in the present orientation and the other one upside down?

    The art should be placed closer together

    I suppose you could flip one of the framed pieces, but I would go in a different direction.

    Rather than one upside down, the leaves should both be sideways from each other with the stems in the middle.

  • 3 months ago

    I think in art, odd numbers work better. I don't know but it looks like this space can handle three. If you want one upside down sometimes, fine.

  • 3 months ago

    So many choices out there if this style of art. No need for two of the same.

    I like Lyn post showing the three pieces.

    Two identical pics is ok, but I'd rather have one, with some sconces on either side.
