How to hang art in a kitchen
- Keep a safe distance. Hang prints away from the stove and sink to avoid steam, heat and splashes.
- Choose framed. A framed print behind glass is easy to wipe clean.
- Use the open spots. Above a doorway, next to a window, above open shelves or in the dining area are perfect places.
- Repeat a color. Pick up one color from your tiles, cabinets or appliances in the art.
- Create a theme. Combine two or three prints around one subject, like coffee or cocktails, for a cohesive look.
Which size should you choose?
Most of our prints come in sizes from a small 8x10 inch (20x25 cm) up to a large 24x36 inch (60x90 cm) statement piece. As a rule of thumb, artwork should fill about two-thirds of the wall space or furniture it hangs above. Kitchen walls are often broken up by cabinets and windows, so a medium 12x16 inch (30x40 cm) print or a pair of small prints usually works best. Above a dining table or sideboard you can go bigger.
If you are hanging several prints together, keep 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) between frames so the group reads as one piece, and line up either the tops or the centers of the frames.
Poster, framed print or canvas?
Most designs are available in three formats, so you can choose what suits your space and budget:
- Poster: the most affordable option, perfect if you already have a frame or like to swap your art around.
- Framed print: arrives ready to hang, in a choice of frame colors. The easiest gift, because there is nothing left to buy.
- Canvas: no glass and no reflections, with a soft textured look that works beautifully in living rooms and bedrooms.
