Add a short description about the trend – why it’s expected to be popular and how your products can be tied into it.

Incorporating artwork into your kitchen design can transform a functional space into one that reflects a homeowner’s personality. Using a piece of art as your inspiration or starting point, you can create a cohesive and inspiring kitchen that reflects individual taste and style. There are lots of different ways to design your kitchen around a particular piece of art or statement piece, from incorporating matching colours to pulling out textures, and patterns.


The first step is selecting a piece of art that resonates with you. This could be a painting, photograph, sculpture, or any other art form you strongly connect with. Also think about how this artwork informs the ambience you desire in your kitchen, whether it’s warmth, vibrancy, or serenity.

Once you’ve know what your statement piece is, look at its colours, textures, and patterns. You can take inspiration from anything including the primary and secondary hues, as well as any little pops in colour.

You can also think about colour and texture here. If the painting feels more organic, pull this through into your design with fluted or curved elements for example. If your art piece has a smooth, glossy finish, consider incorporating high-gloss cabinets or a glass backsplash. If it features rough, textured strokes, think about integrating natural, textured materials like stone countertops or a brick accent wall. Alternatively, you could contrast with the piece to really make it a standout moment.

To really make the piece pop, make sure to create a cohesive colour palette for your kitchen that doesn’t distract, but rather drives focus. Opting for a kitchen company like Smile Kitchens which offers a colour matching service can be incredibly useful for getting the perfect shade. You can bring in your artwork, and they’ll create paint samples that match the colours in your piece. A colour match service can also work in the reverse, in this design by Smile Kitchens, the customer used left over paint from the colour match service to create a piece of art that perfectly coordinates with the kitchen cabinetry

In terms of final touches, it’s important to position your artwork in a prominent place where it will have the most impact. Above the dining area, as a focal point on a feature wall, or even incorporated into a backsplash design are great options to keep the piece front and centre. An often forgotten element is to make sure that the lighting highlights the art without casting harsh shadows or glare so make sure you consult with your kitchen designer on the best option here.
