Different Ways To Display Art In Your Kitchen
Kitchens can often be overlooked when it comes to decorating your home and displaying artwork. It is a space that is used often so it deserves to be given some attention!
Your kitchen is a space for functionality, but also offers an opportunity to be creative through cooking and the art you display. Displaying art in your kitchen is an easy way to add a personal touch to your space. But how many different ways can you display artwork in your kitchen?
Read on to discover all the different ways to display art in your kitchen!
Open Shelving
Open shelving in your kitchen is for more than just glasses, jars and plates. Mix and match what you are displaying with your favourite artwork!
Use framed artwork, sculptures and prints to help you personalise your kitchen. Adding artwork to your open shelving is a great way to add visual flair by reflecting your taste and style through artwork. Coloured picture frames are ideal to add a pop of colour to your shelf. Pick a colour that suits the style of your kitchen or go bold and choose a range of different colours. You can also experiment with the heights of your artwork to create a dynamic statement.
Top tip: try not to overcrowd the space, especially if you are displaying large pieces of art
Fridge Magnets
A fun way to display artwork in your kitchen is on your fridge in the form of a fridge magnet!
Fridge magnets are easy to make. All you need is a magnetic sheet or magnets to glue to the back of your artwork. You can also create personalised magnets on sites such as Photobox. Adding a touch of your personality to your kitchen couldn’t be easier. It doesn’t just have to be artwork. You can create magnets of family photos, too.
Swap and change your magnets to match different themes or seasons in your kitchen. This is a great way to add a change to your kitchen without having to redecorate the whole space.
Wallpaper
Another way to display art in your kitchen is with wallpaper. Wallpaper is available in a range of colours, textures and designs, so you will be sure to find something to suit the aesthetic of your kitchen. Wallpaper is a great alternative if you don’t want to tile certain areas of your kitchen. You can even wallpaper the inside of your cabinets! Don’t fancy wallpaper covering your whole kitchen? You could wallpaper one wall to make a feature.
Top tip: consider a washable wallpaper for your kitchen. Spills can easily occur in this high-traffic area, so it’s best to make it as easy as possible to clean.
Gallery Wall
A gallery wall is the perfect way to showcase your favourite pieces of art all in one place. A gallery wall is a collection of artwork, photos and displayed pieces all displayed together on one wall. Choosing to create a gallery wall in your kitchen can help you create a focal point, showcase your personal style and brighten up a neutral kitchen design.
Choose an empty wall in your kitchen to create a gallery wall feature. You can display your favourite pieces of art, family photos, or food-related art for a quirky feature. You can mix and match different frame styles to create a truly unique display in your kitchen. If you’re looking for a simple gallery wall, you can use black picture frames to allow what’s in the frame to draw all of the attention.
In Or Above The Cabinets
Make use of all the space you have in your kitchen by displaying artwork in empty glass cabinets or above your kitchen units. Displaying your art in a cabinet is a good way to protect the piece from damage from accidental spills in the kitchen. A small piece of artwork, framed or unframed, can add a stylish touch to your space, especially if you don’t want to place any artwork on your walls. You can switch up your cabinet art display whenever you like, helping your kitchen feel fresh and new. The creative possibilities are endless when it comes to displaying art in your kitchen!
Easels On Your Countertop
A mini easel is a great way to display your favourite piece of art in your kitchen. Simply place the easel on your countertop and let it showcase your artwork.
You can display your artwork or something painted by a loved one or child. Displaying artwork that has been painted by someone you know is a great way of adding a personal touch to your home. The best part about displaying artwork on an easel is that it is easy to swap and change, so you can refresh your kitchen with new artwork whenever you like, hassle-free.
You could even use your easel to display a whiteboard/chalkboard to create an interactive area for you and your family. Share reminders, recipes and meaningful quotes all from your kitchen countertop.
