Wall art ideas for kitchens

Kitchen art does not have to be serious. Food, markets and bright colour all look at home here, and a few frames make a dining corner feel like its own room. The trick is to keep the wall clear of steam and splashes, and to hang at seated eye level where you eat.

1. A breakfast wall

The Breakfast Wall, shown at the top of this page, gathers six cheerful prints above a small round table. Mixed sizes are hung close together so the group reads as one block. Because people sit here, the centre of the group sits a little lower than it would above a sofa.

2. The market corner

The Market Corner pairs a shelf of framed prints with a bistro table and chairs. Prints of produce and market scenes suit a kitchen without being literal, and leaning some frames on the shelf keeps the corner easy to change.

3. A row above the dining table

For a long dining table, three prints in a straight line echo the shape of the table. The Arches Dining Trio uses three matching frames with even gaps, centred on the table rather than the wall.

4. A playful pair

Not every kitchen has room for a big group. The Pasta Pair proves two small prints are enough on a short wall beside a dining nook, and they bring a bit of humour to the room.
