Kitchens sure have come a long way over the past few decades.
What was once a strictly utilitarian area for no-frills cooking has now become command central in today’s homes. Kitchens are now living spaces that accommodate many different activities - and look beautiful while doing so.
Selecting art for the kitchen is sometimes overlooked, but I think it’s a wonderful opportunity to add some personality and color to the kitchen - after all, it’s usually the place where everyone ends up!
As you will see in the images below, you don’t have to resort to giant forks or “EAT” signs to adorn the walls of your kitchen. Original and/or collected art always adds so much to a space, and the kitchen is no exception!
Notice that each of these kitchens has a different feel, and how they have their own distinct personalities!
An eclectic mix of framed art was tucked into these open shelves and mixed with more utilitarian elements - including a big pot of rosemary! Image from OneKingsLane.
Have you seen the kitchen by Lauren Liess below? In this kitchen, the art takes center stage, creating a moody and collected vibe.
The art makes for an interesting view at the sink - which, in many cases, is normally provided by a window.
I love this quaint kitchen. . The collection of landscapes makes this space feel homey and welcoming. This kitchen exudes personality and warmth. There’s nothing slick about it!
Oversize modern art combines with a rustic table and chairs, creating a moment of the unexpected!
Here’s one for my color lovers (me included). The painting - which I adore - was surely the jumping off point for this unapologetically pretty kitchen. The kitchen is humble and definitely not “new” , and they certainly made the most if it!
If order is your thing, consider adding a grid style art installation to your kitchen. Related subject matter and matching frames create order and calm in what is typically a busy space in your home.
Who knew there were so many options when it comes to placing art in your kitchen? It’s a great opportunity to add some beauty in such a hard working space!
