  1. Beautiful but dicey. Kitchens are filled with smoke, fire and grease. Wouldn’t use anything too precious or maybe this is a Good Idea — honey, I can’t cook dinner tonight — I might set the Monet on fire — guess we’ll have to make reservations instead! LOL

  2. Yes… I have art in my Kitchen…. I’m blessed w/ a large kitchen so I have lots of areas for art… next to both sinks, at my coffee bar and near my back entry that leads to our garage… I collect several artists works as well as displaying my own work as I am an artist

  3. What a fantastic post. Besides showing many great ideas for incorporating art into a kitchen, the kitchens you have shown are some of the most beautiful, interesting and inviting kitchens I have seen in a very long time! After going through a period of all white kitchens these examples shown are so livable and a refreshing. I always look forward to your wonderful posts!

  4. What’s interesting is after looking through the photos again there are many white kitchens, however what makes these stand out is that the wall cabinets are back, there are more accessories besides the well placed art and the designs are timeless. I have too many favorites to select any single one, however these all have a timeless appeal. With the cost of remodeling a kitchen, in my opinion timeless is always the best bet.

  5. I recently finished a complete remodeling of my kitchen. I have an antique fireback mounted into the tile backsplash behind the cooktop. I have been considering displaying my grandmother’s silver platter or a transferware platter on the shelf/mantle on the hood over the cooktop. The idea of displaying an oil painting or print hadn’t occurred to me. I now see how lovely they look. Thank you for the wonderful ideas!

  6. My curator instincts kicked right in when I saw those paintings on stoves. That is a sure fire way to destroy a painting, in very short order. I have several oil paintings in my kitchen, but they are away from the stove and sink. The only thing safe to put on the back of a stove is something porcelain. If you have pretty pictures, it’s great to have them in the kitchen, but if you want them to last, keep them away from the stove and sink.

  7. I believe many of those were placed simply for photo styling, but I love art in a kitchen when it’s away from prep areas. We have a couple areas of wall where there are no cabinets, appliances, or doorways, and I have something artsy hung in each spot. One is a framed serigraph that’s behind glass, so it’s cleanable. The other isn’t artwork, but it’s a decorative basket of sorts for my husband to drop his keys and wallet in when he comes in the back door (which dumps into our kitchen).

    In an open floor plan, usually a kitchen benefits from art and decorative fabrics seen in the adjacent room(s). However, in a kitchen that’s enclosed, I find it important to incorporate art as well as textiles (esp window treatments) in order to soften up the expanse of cabinetry and appliances.
