KITCHEN DECORATING IDEAS
The kitchen is often the busiest room in the house. It’s a place to cook, eat, work, and watch TV. It’s where the day starts and the evening begins. Because of this, it’s the perfect place to fill with artwork that makes you smile. In this room there are many objects that compete for your attention — shiny appliances, decorative dishes, pinboards or calendars filled with things to remember, so when choosing the artwork, consider pieces with strong colors or images that make a statement. Or be inspired by what you do in this room: eat and drink! In most kitchens, cabinets may dominate the wall space, so get creative with where you place it: don’t hesitate to hang it above the counter, or let the theme you’ve chosen for your kitchen spill over. This will unify these spaces in an appetizing way. Tasty art will inspire you to whip up a snack, make dinner for your family, or prepare for a party.
Find Art for your Kitchen
3 places to hang kitchen art
- Crown Your Backsplash: Consider a small grouping of prints that play on the colors of your kitchen counters.
- Propped on a Floating Shelf: Add dimension with a piece of art propped behind a stack of dishes or among cookbooks.
- Above a Towel Rack: Have a wall-mounted towel rack? The blank wall space above is the perfect place for a piece of art!
What to consider when hanging art in the kitchen
- Function First: This is a room that works hard. Make sure you’re not hanging art in the way of cabinets or along high-traffic walkways.
- Avoid Splash Zones: Messes can happen. Avoid hanging your art in places where it will get wet or splattered with food.
- Go Durable and Wipeable: We love wood mounts in the kitchen as they’re durable and can be wiped down with a cloth.
