Looking for kitchen wall decor ideas? As the heart of most homes, kitchen walls should be just as prominent in our thoughts when it comes to decoration as that of the living room and bedroom walls. Yet our kitchens are often the room we consider least when it comes to wall decorations.
It’s perhaps thanks to the dominance of kitchen cabinets and tiled splashbacks that many are afraid to add decor to kitchen walls – but we say fear not, it’s all about finding the right balance.

What is wall decoration?
Quite simple it’s anything hung from a wall that adds a decorative element. Whether it be a piece of captivating artwork, a metal sculpture-style piece, or even a length of fabric like a wall-mounted rug – anything goes. If you can safely and securely attach it to walls it can welcome a decorative touch.
Wall decoration can help to add colour where necessary, it can add a colour inject for an all-white colour scheme or act as an accent colour in a bolder navy kitchen for instance. Wall decoration can help to add texture too, to break up the blank canvas of a bare wall.

Make a statement by going large with your chosen design. A 3D Trompe L’oeil design will go a long way to add humour and a talking point to a family kitchen-diner. Great for a smaller section of wall, a neutral background fills the rest and really lets the images pop – bringing them to life. Stylist tip: Think of your eye line. Position the mural so it sits just above the level of the table, so none of the detail is lost.

As you’d find in an art gallery use one plain wall, preferable neutral in colour, to align matching framed prints. Artwork in a kitchen space can welcome a point of interest. Using decorative artwork can help to add uncommitted accent colours, that can be changed as and when the mood takes you. Artwork is a great way to coordinate a colour scheme through kitchen accessories, such as tableware or appliances.
4. Set the scene

If your kitchen has the wall space to allow it, why not mix things up. Use every wall to add a touch of embellishment with a mix of every element. A style tip is to keep the walls in a neutral to stop the space feel too busy and cluttered. But also to give more prominence to the decorations you wish to showcase. In this kitchen the blue low units and a busy patterned floor help to anchor the room, making sure that the wall decor doesn’t steal the limelight.
