Where to buy sets of 3 canvas artwork

    I'm looking for somewhere that sells canvas artwork to hang in my living room. I like the idea of a single landscape or perhaps cityscape image that extends over 3 different pieces of canvas.

    I've searched online, but the only places that came close were etsy or redbubble, but they seem to only do individual prints and not sets. There was also a website called iCanvas who do exactly what I'm looking for, but only ship to the US.

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I don’t know what kind of money you’re looking to spend, but if you’re looking for cheap and cheerful, the like of woodies, b&q, homestore and more probably do that kind of thing.

    Your local furniture shop may sell wall art. I think they’ll be open again next week. The ‘cheap’ homewares shops can sell decent canvasses.

    https://www.dunnesstores.com/p/boat-canvas-pack-of-2/7719943 they have a lot more in store.

    Ah, home store 'art', thee anything more soul destroying? :D

    Sometimes you get interesting paintings popping up on adverts.ie OP, worth having a look!

    Etsy does sets. Another option is to download digital images and have them printed on canvas separately.

    The Range.ie

    Wayfarer.co.uk using AddressPal or Parcel Motel
    Preferably AddressPal for large items as there shipping rates are cheaper

    OP AddressPal do shipping from the US, costs 16-30 euro depending on weight. Check max sizes allowed though.

    Lightinthebox.com might be another option

    re:a painting done across three separate canvases is sometimes referred to as a triptych so try searching using that term

    Do you know what you actually want or just have an idea/concept that you are exploring ?

    What colour scheme is in the room ? Is there natural light, lamp lighting or will the room have some spotlighting or just the traditional lightbulbs in the ceiling ?

    Do you need the images on canvas ? Or do you need 3 images to be of the same picture , how much space is needed to fill ?

    Is there a budget ? There is a lot of different ways to put art on the wall of a room so that people can admire it, or , if the person wants, the artwork can blend in and be part of the room, very subtle.

    As other have mentioned the cheap and cheerful approach can be obtained from many different shops.

    If you want something more unique, something different ....this can be done too, plenty of fantastic images available and many photographers are willing to provide images - if the price is right, some are willing to do it because they like the idea.

    I'm interested to your your responses to the questions above.

    Best of luck with decorating your living space.

    Thanks for the detailed reply.

    Essentially I am just looking for something to hang over a bare wall over the sofa in my living room. I thought 3 canvas pictures of one scene would be visually appealing.

    The colour scheme for the room is dark grey walls with mostly black furniture and timber floor. I think a lighter piece of art (maybe black and white) would brighten up the space as it doesn't get direct sunlight.

    I've looked into paintings, but I feel either a landscape or cityscape would be nicer. Plus I am not hugely into artwork but appreciate a good photo.

    Budget would be relatively small. Maybe €200?

    If you google "cityscape triptych" (or landscape if you prefer), you'll get a bunch of options for canvases/prints - some cheap/cheerful mass produced, others directing to individual artists.
