How to match two pieces of wall art side by side

Pick a shared color palette

Make sure the two pieces share at least one color that appears in both. That is what creates a sense of cohesion and harmony in the room.

Balance the sizes

If your two pieces are different sizes, place the larger one slightly above or to one side of the smaller one to create balance. Try to avoid having them exactly the same size, which can look stiff

Experiment with motifs

The two pieces do not need the same motif, but they should complement each other. An abstract painting can sit beautifully next to a minimalist illustration, as long as they share a theme or a mood.

Match the frames

Identical frames tie two different pieces together and create a more unified look. Alternatively, mix frames for a more eclectic feel — just make sure they still harmonize in style or color.

Adjust the spacing

The gap between the two pieces changes the overall impression. A narrow gap makes them read as a single unit, while a wider one gives each piece room to stand on its own.

Try different heights

Try hanging one piece slightly higher than the other. It gives a livelier impression and stops the arrangement looking too symmetrical, which makes the wall more interesting to look at.

Consider the style of the room

Make sure the pieces you choose suit the room around them. Black-and-white photography works well in a modern space, while colorful artwork can be perfect in a livelier, more bohemian home.

Consider the style of the room

It matters that your art fits with the rest of the room. In a modern space, black-and-white photography gives a clean, considered look. If your home has a more colorful, relaxed style, pieces with strong colors and creative motifs will suit it better. Always choose based on the feeling you want to create. That way the art becomes part of the whole and helps reinforce the room's atmosphere.
