The kitchen is the heart of our home. We cook, eat, gather and spend much time there. That’s why we need to think carefully about its décor and dedicate much attention to it.
When all the room is done and there is already new furniture in it, it’s time to think about wall décor. The most important in choosing the decorations for kitchen is to make them look organic in the interior as they need to complement and become an integral part of it.
Kitchen art prints are a great solution for the interior design as they look effective and add a special charm to the room. Moreover, it’s possible to make them in any style, finish, theme and size. Thus, an appropriate poster can be printed for any type of décor, taking into account all your preferences.
So, let’s consider what kinds of prints can be used for kitchens and how to combine them with other kinds of decorations so that your kitchen looks nice and stylish.
Prints for the kitchen must correspond to the style of the room. Some posters are universal and can be used in a number of designs while the others can be rather specific and suit a limited amount of kitchen décor ideas. Here are the most widespread types of kitchen prints.
Vintage Kitchen Art Prints
Vintage posters are in trend again. However, the attitude to them is a bit changed. Now, in order to place a vintage print you like, you don’t need to redecorate all the room in old-fashioned style. Retro art can be brilliantly combined with modern and high-tech décor if to think over all the details carefully.
If you think that a poster isn’t enough, you can add other vintage decorative elements, for example, an ancient vase or vintage-styled kitchen utensils. Vintage is also well combined with wood and so, you can place a poster in a wooden frame and use wooden furniture.
If your kitchen is made in contemporary style, you can leave the poster unframed or put it into a glass frame or the one with metal elements. As contemporary kitchen often has glossy surfaces, you may have a poster printed in this finish, though vintage posters are generally printed in matte one as in such a way, they look older, even if they have been just printed.
Modern Kitchen Wall Art

Modern kitchen wall décor often includes photos and modern artworks. The photos can be dedicated to different themes, though, most frequently, food posters are used. Nowadays, there are so many kinds of artistic photos, in which photographers manage to turn ordinary things into pieces of art.
For example, while taking food photos, it’s possible to arrange them not randomly but in a certain pattern and even create a whole picture with their help. The example of the photo with beautifully arranged spices is presented above.
Modern kitchen paintings look extremely cool. However, it’s important that their color scheme and image correspond to the general theme of the room and harmonize with other décor elements.

Though black and white images are considered to be universal, we recommend using them in three cases: if you have a black and white kitchen décor, if you have bright walls and decorative details or if your kitchen is designed in retro style. Let’s consider them in more details.
If the design of your kitchen is made in black and white colors, this conception can be continued in the wall art. You can use black and white photos, artworks as well as the posters for kitchen, featuring various silhouettes.
If the walls and overall design of the room is made in bright and saturated colors, it can be rather hard to find an art print, which will look good and not make the room look overloaded with color. In their turn, black and white prints can help to harmonize the space and make the walls look more neutral.
Black and white and sepia photos look extremely organic in vintage design and make us feel that they were made at the time, when the technologies weren’t so developed. You can acquire a ready print or make your family photo printed in such a color scheme.

The most unique kitchens are the ones, dedicated to a certain theme. The themes can be different: from country style to a fairy kingdom. Everything depends on your fantasy and preferences in colors, textures and shapes.
For example, if you make up your mind to create a western-styled interior with the abundance of natural materials, cowboy and horse decorations, the posters should correspond. For example, you can take a wanted poster, the one advertising rodeo or the photos of horses and cowboy accessories.
Or, if you are creating the kitchen of the future with the newest technologies and complicated shapes, you can choose abstract art prints with intricate patterns and featuring futuristic objects.
Kitchen Canvas Art Prints
Kitchen posters can be not only printed on paper as there is also such an option as a kitchen art canvas. Everything, which can be printed on paper, may be printed on canvas as well. Canvas prints are textured and look very interesting. Moreover, they are very durable.
Unlike ordinary posters, canvases add volume to the walls. They are stretched over basic wooden frames and pop up from the wall. That’s why, if the design of your room seems to be too flat, canvas prints will help you to get rid of this problem.
There are many ways of how to arrange canvases beautifully if you have more than two artworks. The easiest way is to arrange them in a row. If you seek for more originality, you can use canvases of different sizes and arrange them in various forms.
