Our kitchens are often the gathering places for our families where we can nourish our bodies and enrich our souls. The time spent cooking together, in lively conversation around the table and even in cleaning up is an example of the quality time that we try so hard to find in our hectic lives.
We want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere and the addition of artwork is an excellent place to build that foundation. There are a few different kitchen art styles that you might consider depending on your current decorating theme.
The light colors and clean, uncluttered feeling will immediately make you feel at home. It is reminiscent of a quieter time when the accumulation of things was not a priority. A cottage kitchen is simple and basic and artwork of a beach scene will fit perfectly with this style.
In the modern design the photograph can add depth and character to our kitchens Photos of kitchen utensils or even abstract art of food and drinkcan create an interesting focal point that will draw the eye.
- The Classic Country Kitchen
This is a very popular theme today which creates that warm and inviting atmosphere we seek. The country kitchen brings to mind warm soup bubbling on the stove and baskets of fruit on the counter. This theme lends itself particularly well to images of farms and farm animals as well as the primitive art style.
The type of art that this kitchen will highlight includes images of natural beauty like cherry blossoms and seashells and the iconic asian influence in their zen-like outdoor spaces. It is in this kitchen that you will find a place of peace and stillness.
Our kitchen art is an extension of our desire to provide a place were we can come together as family and with friends and feel a sense of warmth and comfort. No matter what theme speaks to you there is artwork that will deepen the experience and help bring it to life.
