The 6 most important steps when decorating your kitchen with wall art
Our kitchens are the heartbeat of our homes. These are where we come together to create delicious food, strengthen our relationships and make new memories. These spaces must be fluid.
Ask any interior decorator, and they will tell you that art is the best way to make a space stand out. It helps tie the room together and allows homeowners to add their own style and perspective to their homes. But still, the kitchen is often the last place where we add decorative layers such as artwork.
There are many ways to make your kitchen wall art speak to you, whether you want to add a few pieces to complement your kitchen décor or go completely avant-garde.
1. Keep it Simple
Marigold (1875) by William Morris
Choose something simple and understated when choosing artwork to add to your kitchen. The goal is to have the art or objects blend in with your décor, not clutter up your already busy space. Stick to a palette that compliments the existing finishes in your kitchen and avoid anything too eye-catching--vintage oil portraits or still-life scenes typically work great. Don't be afraid to have some fun with your selections!
2. Choose the Right Size

This look should feel small and collected. Avoid using large pieces, bulky frames, or word art. Instead, opt for smaller wall art with natural oak wood frame finishes.
3. Fresh and Clean

4. Joy through colors
