Art in the kitchen: how to make cooking a celebration
The kitchen is no longer just a place for cooking. It is the heart of the home, where we gather, have drinks, and often experience the most enjoyable moments. Yet, many people overlook the kitchen when it comes to interior design and art. While a well-chosen piece of art can transform your kitchen from practical to inspiring.
Why art in the kitchen?
A kitchen without art can quickly feel cold and functional. With art, you add:
-
Color, to make the space look more vibrant.
-
Atmosphere and personality, because a painting or print tells something about you.
-
Energy: bright colors or expressive styles make the space dynamic and cheerful.
Which art suits the kitchen?
Not every material is suitable for the kitchen. Think about moisture, grease, and temperature fluctuations. That's why more and more people are opting for:
-
Plexiglas art: scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and resistant to moisture.
-
Colorful prints: bring energy and cheerfulness to the space.
-
Statement pieces: large format artworks that immediately give the kitchen a luxurious look.
Example: Fancy Dinner Party by Hans Breuker
A perfect example of art that works in the kitchen is the plexiglas artwork Fancy Dinner Party by artist Hans Breuker.
-
It depicts a festive table full of lobsters, wine, and delicacies – precisely the atmosphere you want to evoke in a kitchen.
-
Thanks to the glossy plexiglass finish, the colors pop off the wall, and the canvas is easy to keep clean.
-
Available in large formats, making it a real eye-catcher in the kitchen or above the dining table.
Tips to make art shine in your kitchen
-
Choose the right spot: above the dining table, next to a kitchen island, or on a free wall.
-
Dare to go big: an XXL artwork has more impact than several small framed pictures.
-
Combine with accessories: let colors from the artwork reappear in dinnerware or kitchen accessories.
-
Think practically: plexiglass is ideal because it can withstand steam and a cleaning cloth.
