Art ideas?

7 years ago

Our Wigmore street showroom has a pretty bare wall, and we our planning to put some art there. Would love to hear other peoples ideas, or what art they love the most for their homes! What are your thoughts and suggestions?

Hello Zeyko Kitchens,

I think some art could be lovely. With the modern feel of your kitchens I think something abstract could be ideal and sophisticated. The bold dense elements in worktop and oven units need something equally bold to compliment.. Something textural would be my suggestion as it's one of my favourite words!

Here's one I made for a bedroom to give you some inspiration..I'd have them in the kitchen but the kitchen doesn't have room. Either blend with the walls or create something bold in contrast.. So equally with a white wall, creams, off whites and hints of pale ochre would make a fantastic but subtle by comparison instillation.. Consider too the way they are displayed... I have further pieces I made that hang in clustered arrangements... Nothing is overlooked as the sides are painted in gold... .. : ))

Why not create something that is both functional and stylish by bringing the space to life with a selection of these patterned or typography drinking mugs? Displayed on 3 or 5 rows of stainless steel or black - lacquered shelving, battery operated lighting which requires no wiring, could then be placed underneath the shelves so that the mugs are lit up in the evening!

Hi weezer16. I've had the same problem several times. If I were you I would keep to a fairly simple shape like a drum e.g http://www.pagazzi.com/shop-for-lighting/ceiling-lights/davis-extra-large-pendant-silver.html I can't tell from your photos whether a warmer colour would go better but the shape won't detract from the wall paper on the chimney Brest and ties in with the fairly simple mantle but a larger size will stop it blending into the background. Then you can add a bit more interest with your cabinet lighting etc.

Or these lovely little round panels reminiscent of dutch landscapes but with a contemporary twist...

Or maybe just something purely eye-catching and fun...

Personally I think your retail space should not have strong statements in it..... Especially things that you don't sell and especially not things that are down to personal taste and could adversely influence someone's opinion of a kitchen.
I say keep it simple- I would do no more than put a deep colour on the walls to frame cabinets.

Hello Zeyko Kitchens,

This is right up my street!

I have a LOT of tasteful and appropriate artwork (see what I did there! the pun!) relating to the kitchen with the subject of food and drink, which is a room a lot of people don't tend to give much consideration to when it comes to artwork, but as you're able to demonstrate, the kitchen can be a great place to display the right type of artwork, so I would like to put forth a few pieces that are food related based on your photos:

Happy Hour · More Info

White Wine · More Info

Caviar Cocktail Brown · More Info

Chilli Pepper · More Info

The Forbidden Fruit · More Info

I have many more artistic pieces designed around the kitchen, so for more inspirational ideas, please have a look at my FOOD and DRINKS sections:

I would put a retro food advert up, something with strong primary colours maybe.

Or try edible art website, they have some cool stuff.
