How To // Styling Art in the Kitchen
The latest design trend in kitchens embraces the concept of integrating art into the heart of the home, redefining traditional notions of culinary spaces. As homeowners seek to infuse personality and creativity into their kitchen decor, they are increasingly opting to adorn their walls with carefully curated artwork. Whether it's a vibrant painting, a vintage print, or a serene landscape, the art chosen can reflect your tastes and aesthetic preferences, adding layers of interest and character to the culinary space. This approach not only elevates the design of the kitchen but also fosters a sense of warmth and individuality, turning cooking and dining areas into inspiring havens for creativity and expression.
Now how do you select the perfect pieces for your kitchen? We love one of a kind, vintage pieces that you've collected through the years - through travels, antique stores, or art that pays homage to your local area. However collecting vintage and original art takes time (and money) and sometimes you're just itching for a change in a space! That's why we love our curation of artists prints! They have a vintage feel and a painterly charm that adds interest and texture to a space. Speaking of texture - we only offer Giclee prints to ensure the print is as close to the real thing as possible! Giclee is a method of producing high-quality fine art prints, using a specialized printer. The word "giclee" comes from the French word, "gicleur", meaning to spray. Giclee prints are known for their high quality, longevity and value.
Prints in general are a more affordable option, that allows you the flexibility to use a frame on hand, or select the perfect one that compliments the hardware and finished in your kitchen. We especially love the high quality of giclee, as it captures the painterly strokes and textures of the original work, and does a great job to tricking the eye its a close mimic to the real thing!
We've curated a few new prints from artist Krista Kim that are perfect for a kitchen or dining area. Her work of lemons and clementines give off a more classic, refined feel. However if you're looking for a more casual, playful approach, her sardines or oysters work is the perfect option for you.
Food subject matter isn't the only artwork fit for a kitchen - landscapes are the perfect choice for almost any space. "This Way" by Krista Kim is a simple and bright option to bring the french countryside in. Or if you're looking for a piece with a bit of a moodier feel, the landscapes of Hannah Winter's are the perfect option!
We prefer most of our pieces in gold chunky frames (as seen above) but the beautiful thing about a print is that you can personalize the frame exactly to your liking. Shop our curation of artist prints for your kitchen below!
