Kitchen Wall Art

Kitchens suit art that reflects the environment — botanical illustrations, still life prints featuring fresh ingredients like citrus or herbs, coffee variety guides, wine region maps, or abstract pieces in warm, appetising tones like terracotta and sage. The key is choosing something with a considered palette that complements your cabinetry and benchtops rather than competing with them.

Above a dining nook, next to the fridge, above a breakfast bar, or styled on open shelving — these are all great spots. Avoid hanging art directly above a stove or sink to prevent damage from steam and grease. A minimum distance of 48cm from active cooking zones keeps your artwork in good condition.

Follow the two-thirds rule: your art or gallery grouping should cover approximately two-thirds of the width of the furniture below it. A dining table that’s 150cm wide pairs best with around 100cm of art — whether that’s a single piece or a curated grouping.

Yes, if framed correctly. Solid timber frames with glass fronts provide the best protection against minor splashes and humidity. Canvas is generally more vulnerable to moisture than framed paper prints, so if you’re placing art near a sink or stove, a framed print is the safer choice.

As a general guide, hang your art so the centre of the piece sits between 57 and 60 inches (roughly 145–152cm) from the floor. When hanging above dining furniture, drop it slightly lower so the art feels connected to the table rather than floating above it.

Absolutely. Framed and curated family photos are a wonderful way to add warmth and personality to a space built for gathering. Mix them with other prints for a gallery wall that feels genuinely personal.

Give the glass a gentle wipe with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth every few months. For stubborn grease buildup, a small amount of diluted white vinegar on the cloth works well. Avoid abrasive cleaners or anything solvent-based. For the timber frame, use a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one to remove dust without soaking the wood.

Heavy-duty removable adhesive hooks are your best option for lighter prints — look for ones rated at 2–5kg and follow the instructions carefully for a clean removal. For a styling-forward approach, leaning prints on open shelving or against a wall looks intentional and works surprisingly well in kitchen spaces. On tiled walls, adhesive picture strips designed for tiles can work for lighter pieces.

Avoid positioning glass-fronted prints directly beneath pendant lights or in line with recessed downlights. If glare is unavoidable, try angling the frame very slightly forward at the top, or consider a battery-powered picture light mounted to the frame for a warm, focused glow that reduces reflective interference.

Oak frames work well in Scandi or timber-heavy kitchens. Black frames suit a modern or industrial look. White frames complement coastal or Hamptons-inspired styles. All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced hardwood and are built to last — quality details that quietly make a big difference.
