Have you noticed lately in every styled kitchen a little piece of art pops up somewhere? Art has been displayed in European kitchens forever, and it’s a layering technique we’ve seen in domestic kitchens for a few years. Framed art adds warmth and character to a space so naturally designers and stylists use art as alluring decor in kitchens.
Ever since open shelves became a timeless addition to a kitchen, people look to fill the vertical area between or above shelves with pleasing elements, this is where one or two pieces of framed art helps to draw the eye to the shelf scene. In addition to wood cutting boards, art can be used on the countertop to disguise electric plugs on the walls so the backsplash feels uninterrupted.
In kitchens, a still life print or painting is a good choice, but truly any kind of landscape, botanical, or drawing that appeals to you will work. After all, art is subjective and you should display what is personal to you. Below are a collection of well placed art prints on countertops and shelves.
