3 Great Art Ideas For Your Kitchen

The kitchen isn’t always the first room that comes to mind when considering art for the home, as it's usually the busiest area. The kitchen is thought by many to be the hub of the home and that’s exactly why this is one room where there should be art to bring a smile to your face. According to Expert Market Research, the global wall art market size reached a value of approximately $46.2 billion in 2022. So, how do you get started choosing art for your kitchen in this booming industry? Here are a few tips to get you going.

1. Murals

Let’s first consider a large-scale kitchen art idea; the mural. A painted mural can be a bold and fun statement. These are often best for a large and uncluttered space. If you have a wall in your kitchen that isn’t adorned with cabinets, this would be a great spot for a mural. If you have limited space, you can go for one based on simple geometric or free hand shapes.

To keep the mural sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing, you’ll want to use colors that are in the same tonal range and use bold shapes. Murals can either be done by professional artists, or if you’re creative you might try your own hand at making a mural.

2. Wall Art

The most common type of art for the home is wall art. Although cabinets often dominate the kitchen, there are places where you can showcase a thoughtful piece of wall art. You could assemble a small grouping of prints for your backsplash. Another idea is to feature a piece of art propped on a floating shelf perhaps along with a display of cookbooks. Spaces housing towel racks or spice racks may also be a good option.

3. Sculptures

You might also want to consider modern floor sculptures if you have the space. This high-end element can really elevate a room and add another dimension to its style. Remember, however, that you need to keep an open flow of traffic in this busy area of the home.

These are just a few ideas to get more art into your home. If you’re looking for art prints or modern floor sculptures for the home, please check out the inventory at Galeria Home Store.
