Art up your kitchen

How to decorate your kitchen with art prints

• Find an art poster that fits your personal style and preferences. It can be an abstract painting, a line drawing or an illustration. Consider colors, themes and moods that match the atmosphere of the room and your own aesthetic.
• Placement Options: Identify a suitable location for your art poster. A central place on a wall is a good choice, where the poster can be an eye-catcher. Alternatively, you can choose a corner or a niche that needs extra decoration. Also consider the location in relation to the kitchen's natural light and the surrounding decor.
• Frame or hanging: Consider whether the art poster should have a frame or hang directly on the wall. An elegant frame can give the artwork a more sophisticated and finished look. You can choose a frame that matches the overall style and materials of the kitchen, or choose a more modern and minimalist frame to emphasize the content of the poster.
• Color scheme: Use the art poster as inspiration to choose colors for the rest of the kitchen. You can choose to repeat the colors in the poster in kitchen accessories such as cushions, tea towels or kitchen utensils to create a cohesive aesthetic. Avoid overwhelming the kitchen with too many colors so that it remains harmonious and balanced.
• Lighting: Make sure your art poster is well lit to bring out its details and colors. Consider placing a lamp or spotlight near the poster to create focused lighting. If the kitchen has natural light, consider how the light can illuminate the artwork in a flattering way.
• Expanding the theme: Use the art poster's theme as inspiration to expand it in the kitchen's interior design. If the poster has a nature motif, you can add plants or flowers to the room to create a cohesive atmosphere. If the poster is modern and abstract, you can choose minimalist kitchen elements and clean lines to match.

Remember that the art print should bring joy and personality to your kitchen. Choose something that speaks to you and creates an inspiring and aesthetically pleasing space.
