# Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about creating custom canvas wall art with curateddd: how the process works, how it compares to buying prints, how to size and hang a piece, and how ordering, ownership, and your data are handled.

## Getting started with curateddd

**What is curateddd?**
curateddd is a custom canvas wall art platform. Instead of choosing from a fixed catalog, you describe the artwork you want in plain language, refine it through a short conversation, and order the result as a ready-to-hang canvas print made for your space. See [how curateddd works](https://www.curateddd.com/how-it-works.md).

**How do I create a piece of art?**
Start with a simple prompt that describes a room, palette, subject, or mood. curateddd generates a first direction, you refine it in chat until it fits, preview it as a finished canvas, and then order it. See [how to use curateddd](https://www.curateddd.com/guides/how-to-use-curateddd.md).

**Do I need design or art experience?**
No. You describe what you want in plain words, and the conversation handles the rest — no art vocabulary required.

**What if I do not know what I want yet?**
Describe the room or the feeling, ask for a few different directions, and use the options to discover your taste.

## Custom art vs. buying prints

**How is custom art different from a marketplace print?**
A marketplace shows you images that already exist and asks you to pick the closest match. curateddd starts from your idea instead of a catalog. See [custom art vs marketplace prints](https://www.curateddd.com/articles/custom-art-vs-marketplace-prints.md).

**Is custom art more expensive than a print?**
It typically costs a little more than a mass-produced poster but is competitive with quality framed or canvas prints, with the benefit of being designed specifically for your room.

**Is curateddd a good Mixtiles alternative?**
If you want your own photos on peel-and-stick tiles, a photo-tile product is the better fit. curateddd is for creating original artwork from a prompt. See [a Mixtiles alternative](https://www.curateddd.com/articles/mixtiles-alternative.md).

**Can AI-generated art be printed large enough for a wall?**
Yes, as long as the artwork resolves to a high enough resolution for your chosen size. curateddd is built for large, print-ready canvas output.

## Sizing, choosing, and hanging

**What size wall art do I need?**
Above furniture, aim for the artwork or grouping to span about two-thirds to three-quarters of the furniture's width. See the [wall art size guide](https://www.curateddd.com/guides/wall-art-size-guide.md).

**How high should I hang wall art?**
Hang the visual center about 57 to 60 inches from the floor. See [how to hang wall art](https://www.curateddd.com/guides/how-to-hang-wall-art.md).

**How do I plan a gallery wall?**
Treat the whole arrangement as one shape, decide its footprint first, and keep 2 to 3 inches between frames. See [gallery wall ideas](https://www.curateddd.com/guides/gallery-wall-ideas.md).

**How do I choose art for my living room?**
Work through size, color, style, and placement in order. See [how to choose living room art](https://www.curateddd.com/guides/how-to-choose-living-room-art.md).

## Orders, ownership, and trust

**How do I order, and what do I receive?**
When a design feels right, you move to a product preview and checkout. Each piece is made to order, then produced and shipped as a ready-to-hang canvas.

**Is it safe to buy custom art online?**
Yes, when a store is transparent, publishes detailed policies, and uses an established payment processor. curateddd checks out through Stripe. See [how to tell if an online art store is legit](https://www.curateddd.com/guides/how-to-tell-if-an-online-art-store-is-legit.md).

**Can I use the artwork I create?**
Subject to the [Terms of Use](https://www.curateddd.com/terms.md) and any checkout-specific terms, you may use final artwork you lawfully create or purchase. Because results are AI-generated, outputs are not guaranteed to be unique.

**How is my data and content handled?**
Your prompts, chat messages, and generated outputs are processed to provide the service and improve quality. The [Privacy Policy](https://www.curateddd.com/privacy.md) explains what is collected and how it is used.

**Can I order more than one piece or a coordinated set?**
Yes. You can develop several concepts and order the ones you like, which is helpful for decorating multiple walls or a coordinated set.
