What is a plexiglass artwork and why do people choose it?
A plexiglass artwork, also known as acrylic glass wall decoration, is a modern form of photographic art in which an image is finished behind clear plexiglass.
The material is known for:
- high light transmittance
- deep colors and strong contrasts
- luxurious, glossy appearance
- lightweight compared to glass
As a result, plexiglass wall decoration is popular in living rooms, offices, hospitality venues, and hotels where appearance and quality are important.
Does plexiglass wall decoration discolor over time?
One of the most frequently asked questions is: does a plexiglass artwork discolor over time? For high-quality plexiglass wall decoration, the answer is: no.
Why doesn't our plexiglass discolor?
At The Art of Interior, we work exclusively with materials and techniques specifically developed for long-lasting colorfastness. Therefore, our plexiglass artworks retain their color and appearance for years, even when exposed to bright daylight.
Can a plexiglass artwork warp or bend?
Why does our plexiglass wall decoration retain its shape?
With high-quality plexiglass wall decoration, not only the material but also the construction and finish play an important role.
That is why we choose:
- dimensionally stable PMMA plexiglass
- a material thickness of 5 mm
- high-quality finish
- a stable suspension system that distributes the weight evenly
Here too, the finish plays an important role. At The Art of Interior, we ensure that every artwork is produced using materials and techniques that help prevent warping, even with larger formats.
Why not all plexiglass wall decoration offers the same quality
Not all plexiglass artworks are the same. Simpler versions often make use of:
- thinner plates that can bend faster
- less colorfast inks
- simpler printing techniques
- less strong bonding
- lighter suspension systems
As a result, colors can fade over time and the material can deform. This difference often only becomes visible after several months or years. At The Art of Interior, we consciously choose high-quality materials and finishes, so that our wall decoration:
- remains beautiful for a long time
- does not discolor
- does not warp
- retains its sharpness and depth
This is also the reason why we confidently offer a 5-year warranty against discoloration and warping.

Plexiglas compared to other materials
Plexiglas versus canvas
Canvas has a warm and accessible appearance and has been a popular form of wall decoration for years. At the same time, canvas generally offers less sharpness, contrast, and depth than plexiglass. Fine details and color intensity often stand out more strongly on plexiglass, making the material particularly popular for photography and artworks intended to serve as eye-catchers. Additionally, canvas is more susceptible to damage, warping, and discoloration than
high-quality plexiglass wall decoration. Those seeking maximum sharpness, color experience, and a luxurious look therefore often choose plexiglass.
Plexiglas versus Dibond
Dibond is known for its sleek, matte appearance without reflections. Plexiglas, on the other hand, has a luxurious, glossy finish with extra depth and vibrant colors. The choice between the two materials often depends on the desired look of the interior.

Plexiglas versus acoustic wall decoration
Acoustic wall decoration combines art with sound-absorbing properties and is often used in spaces where acoustic comfort and tranquility are important. Plexiglas, on the other hand, focuses entirely on maximum color experience, contrast, and visual impact. Both materials have their own applications depending on the space and preferences.
