The kitchen is where everyone ends up, yet the walls tend to stay bare. That is a shame, because a bit of art warms up a room that is otherwise all stone, timber and hard edges. It softens the space and gives your eye somewhere nice to land while the kettle boils. Here is how to bring art into your kitchen and dining area.
Pick Art That Suits the Room
Kitchens take well to art that feels fresh and warm. Botanicals, food and drink prints, and bright abstracts all sit happily next to timber and greenery. A piece like Blooming Bottle Brush brings a native, Australian note, while Cubist Pop drops some colour into a neutral scheme.
Where to Hang It
Find the walls a busy kitchen forgets. The end of a bench run, the nook by the pantry, the gap above a coffee station, or the wall of the dining area next door all work. A framed piece like Her Mind softens a dining wall and helps the two zones read as one room.
Scale and Placement
Keep art away from the splashback and cooktop, where heat, steam and splatter will find it, and hang at eye level from where you usually stand or sit. In an open plan kitchen and dining space, size up. A bigger piece holds its own against cabinetry, where something small just gets lost. Our size guide makes the proportions easy.
Tie It Into the Room
The simplest way to make art belong is to pick up a colour already in the kitchen, whether that is your splashback, your joinery or a trailing plant. Let the dining area carry the larger piece and keep the working end lighter, so the room stays balanced.
