As a concept, a triptych is quite simple: it is a series of three pieces of artwork hung side by side. Sometimes the pieces of art are connected, as if they had been painted on one large canvas and cut apart, and other times they are three separate pieces that share a similar color palette, subject, or theme. They are nearly always the same size and shape, and they are always wonderful focal points in a room. When creating a triptych in your home, get creative with the type of art you use to achieve a look that’s unique.
- One large image. Crafting a triptych from one large image, whether it is a painting, a photograph, or a collage, is a great way to create a modern feel. To make the piece even more impactful, use a large scale and hang it over your sofa or fireplace.
- A series of portraits. During family photo shoots, your photographer will take several portraits of your family and, if you ask them to, your individual family members. Choose your three favorite to frame side by side.
- A collection of special ticket stubs. This is a wonderful triptych idea for a young couple! Frame three important ticket stubs that tell the story of your relationship—maybe from movies you’ve seen together or shows you’ve been to.
The finishing touch of any triptych is the perfect set of frames. The team at Frame Warehouse would love to help you choose the right frames for your piece of art. Give us a call
