Cooking with Style: Rocking Art in your Kitchen

Who says kitchens are just for cooking? At Erika Jayne Design Build, we believe your kitchen deserves as much personality as any other room in your home. And what better way to spice things up than by rocking art in your kitchen? Here’s how to transform your kitchen from drab to fab with a few well-placed pieces.

1. Magic in Matching

Got a kitchen with a sleek color scheme? Perfect! Use artwork to complement those shades and create a cohesive look. In this kitchen the art on the walls ties the colors together that are found around the kitchen on the bookshelves, adding to the color scheme without stealing the show.

2. Bold and Beautiful

Why not make a statement with your kitchen art? A splash of color can turn a neutral space into a lively, eye-catching haven. This vibrant painting pops against the white cabinets and marble countertops, commanding attention while offering balance by offsetting the neutral backdrop.

4. Shelfie Goals

Open shelving isn’t just for storing dishes. It’s prime real estate for showing off your favorite small art pieces. In this kitchen, a blend of functional items and decorative pieces, including framed photos and small sculptures, adds a personal touch that makes the space truly yours.




Tips for Picking the Perfect Kitchen Art

  • Size Matters: Make sure your artwork fits the space. Big pieces can make a bold statement, while smaller ones are perfect for creating a gallery wall or the perfect shelfie moment.

  • Durability: Kitchens can get messy, so choose art that's easy to clean and maintain.

  • Personal Touch: Pick pieces that reflect your style and complement your kitchen’s style.

  • Spot On: Hang your artwork where it can be appreciated without getting in the way of your cooking.

Adding personality and style to your kitchen is what we do best and art is our secret ingredient! Whether you go for bold, bright pieces or subtle, coordinating art, you can make your kitchen a space that's both functional and fabulous.
