FIND THE PERFECT KITCHEN WALL DECOR
Decorating a kitchen’s walls can sometimes be a bit of a challenge because you have to consider style, size, function, and the varying levels of approval from all family members. There is also often limited space for kitchen artwork due to cabinets, storage, a range, refrigerator, windows, and possibly a backsplash. Because of all this, you really need to think through where you may want to hang wall art. Luckily Minted has plenty of limited edition, hand-made artwork that can be purchased in multiple sizes and color arrangements to best complement your style.
KITCHEN WALL ART CONSIDERATIONS TO GUIDE YOU
When you’re considering what kitchen art to purchase, it’s important to consider all of the basic elements of your space. Things to assess include:
-
Available Wall Space: Regardless of the size of your kitchen, wall space is prime real estate for hanging frequently used items like pots, display plates, clocks, hanging plants, and so on. Determining what is necessary to hang and how much of your wall space you want to dedicate to kitchen art is important. You may only have room for one or two pieces.
-
Color Considerations: Each kitchen is different, and there are many elements you can use as directional cues for a color theme. These include the color of your countertops, the color of cabinets and appliances, or the color of your plates, glasses, cutlery, cooking utensils, walls, and curtains. Based on color theory, if you want to create a warm and welcoming space, you may want to include colors such as white, gray, blue, red, yellow, and green. All of them provide a clean look and warmer shades are said to increase the appetite. As you select artwork, you can also consider selecting a frame that will tie in with the vibe of your kitchen, be it rustic, vintage, or modern.
-
Proximity to the Dining Room: Consider the layout of your home. Is it an open floor plan, with your kitchen and dining room attached? Are these rooms spread out? Should your wall decor blend into the look of your dining room or living room so there is a congruent theme? There is a science to picking artwork to blend naturally with other rooms in the house.

KITCHEN ART THEMES THAT MAY CATCH YOUR EYE
Easily navigate our collection using the filters at the top of the page. Filter by style, theme, color, type, and orientation. Or simply browse through our full collection. Here are some possible options to consider:
-
Word Art: Some prints artistically show kitchen word art associated with food or creatively display special recipes. Explore designs that feature phrases like, “Open Crazy Late”, photographs of signs pointing to the bar, or imagery of billboards that boldly read “FOOD.” Utilizing different font sizes, styling, and colors are key for experts in typography. Photographers capturing words related to food and drink are equally creative and seem like the perfect fit for stylish kitchen art.
-
Fruit/Food Art: Given the kitchen is where food is prepared and eaten, it seems fitting to select kitchen wall decor that depicts your favorite edibles. Arrange bright paintings of oranges, a beautiful photograph of an artichoke, a black and white watermelon drawing, a beautiful bowl of cherries, or a cozy coffee pot illustration that’ll inspire you in the morning.
-
Abstract: Minted’s collection of abstract paintings run the gamut from bright chevron patterns and neat lines to creative and winding black and white brush strokes. No matter what the color theme of your kitchen is, you will find an abstract piece that goes with your decor.
-
Retro/Vintage: Some of Minted’s artists have contributed funky photographs of a vintage phone or bar sign, and others painted still lifes that have an effortlessly cool vintage look to them. If you have a vintage-inspired home or kitchen (perhaps even classic black and white checkerboard floor tiles), then look no further.
-
Modern: When looking to give your kitchen a refresh, consider something minimalist. Sleek designs pair nicely with a modern, streamlined kitchen and create a sense of order and beauty at the same time. Choose from botanical paintings, line illustrations, minimalist photographs, and beautiful geometric arrangements. To enhance the modern look or your wall hanging, you can customize the frame to complete it.
-
World Photography: Bring a tinge of nostalgia and wanderlust to your kitchen with a photograph of a farmers market or European outdoor cafe. Photographs like this might add some charm to your decor and be a great topic of conversation.
-
Framed Recipe: If there is a favorite recipe that has been passed down in your family or was given to you by a dear friend, have cherished handwritten recipes transformed into a gold foil art print. These personal touches of kitchen artwork are not only practical reminders, but sentimental keepsakes.
