Practical Approach To Contemporary Art Displays In Your Kitchen

By Gregory Nelson


You have probably seen numerous interior design magazines where pictures and art are placed in the kitchen, whether hung on the wall or otherwise. Though putting artwork in the kitchen may have its disadvantages; to do with grease and oil damaging and dirtying your artwork pieces, you can still undertake some simple steps to make sure that your pictures will last well into the future while at the same time creating some interest in the kitchen. Here are the pointers in kitchen Contemporary Art Displays.

Maintenance is the key to longevity. It is important that you take measures to properly maintain the artwork displays. This will include dusting and cleaning with a cloth to remove all the dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the frame or the Plexiglas. Clean the artwork-pieces regularly, about once a week. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to get rid of the oil and grease after some time.

A general rule of thumb to follow is that your artwork should be approximately three quarters the length of your chosen table as this will allow people to fully appreciate the painting without thinking the surroundings too odd. Other factors to consider are that the artwork display should be noticeable and should not face an area of the room where no person can view it properly because this would negate the purpose of creating it in the first place.

The artwork piece should be typically about three quarters the length of the table. Ensure also, that the artwork display is noticeable, that people can see it and appreciate it. Don't let the artwork face some corner of the room, where no one can see it.

Another way to display artwork differently is to place your work on top of a console table which is usually found against walls in locations such as dining rooms, hall areas and bedrooms. It is important to remember when putting any artwork on a type of table, is not to overlap it with anything else as this will detract from any impact that the work is intended to make.

Stick to pictures that are small in size. Most kitchens are relatively small in size. Assuming your kitchen is a modest sized one, select artwork that is smaller in size. Small pictures are better appreciated from a near distance, especially in an enclosed space of a kitchen.

The better approach is to arrange three or four small pictures and group them. Because people looking at the artwork will be seeing it from a close distance, select pictures that have detail in them - an example would be flowers where the intricate details of its petals can be seen. Small pictures with detail are much more appreciated when a viewer is seeing it from a short distance away, like from a dining table.

Select a suitable theme. The selection depends on the theme and the mood of your decor. Assuming you have chosen a modern contemporary setting for your home, suitable artwork pieces you can use for your kitchen or dining area could be food related. Pictures of fruits or vegetables hanging on the wall would surely whet the appetites of diners.
