Keuken posters

Bold, graphic prints tend to work best because kitchens are busy rooms with lots of competing textures and colours. We'd steer you toward food art prints, botanical illustrations, or vibrant still life pieces rather than anything too subtle or muted, which can get lost next to splashbacks and open shelving. If your kitchen is mostly white or neutral, a single large kitchen wall art piece (60x80cm or bigger) above a dining nook or empty counter wall will anchor the whole space. For colourful kitchens, lean into black and white prints or simple line work so the art doesn't clash with what's already going on.

A single oversized framed kitchen print (we'd say 70x100cm minimum) is the cleanest option and looks intentional rather than like you're trying to fill space. Hang it so the centre of the print sits roughly at eye level, even if that means it's above a bench or sideboard. If one piece feels too minimal for you, a kitchen gallery wall of three prints in matching frames works brilliantly, arranged in a tight horizontal row with about 5cm between each frame. Our framed prints arrive ready to hang with fixtures already attached, so you can go from blank wall to finished in minutes.

The honest answer: don't hang anything directly above your hob or right next to your sink. Beyond those splash zones, a properly framed art print will do just fine in a kitchen. Our framed prints use UV-protective acrylic glazing, which shields the print from sunlight and is far more practical than glass since it won't shatter if knocked. If you're hanging near a window where sun hits, the museum-grade inks we use won't fade, even with years of direct light. Just avoid the spots where grease or water would literally land on the frame and you're golden.

Use the wall as your guide, not the room. Measure the empty wall section you're filling and aim for the print to cover roughly two-thirds of that width. So if you have a 120cm-wide gap between your upper cabinets and a window, a 70x100cm or 50x70cm framed print hits the sweet spot. For the narrow strip of wall next to a fridge or at the end of a galley kitchen, a smaller 30x40cm or 40x50cm print looks considered rather than cramped. If you're replacing an old print that always looked a bit lost, you almost certainly need to go one size up from what you had before.

The biggest shift we're seeing is away from the novelty 'Eat, Pray, Love' typography prints and toward proper art that happens to suit a kitchen. Vintage botanical illustrations, modern food art prints, and bold abstract pieces in warm tones are all hugely popular right now. Sets of three prints in a cohesive colour palette are a consistently strong choice for open-plan kitchen-diners where you want the art to bridge the cooking and living areas. Quirky kitchen wall art with a bit of personality, think retro market scenes or illustrated recipe prints, also works beautifully as a gift for someone who's just moved in.
