There are so many essentials to fit into your kitchen that one may feel compelled to forgo aesthetics and just cram it all in there.
However, beauty is also majorly important to us in the long term, so to make sure our cooking space is and stays aesthetically pleasing, we can always turn to our walls.
Wall hangings span from purely decorative, over functional, and down to essential.
Let’s go through some ideas to help you transform your kitchen.
1. Open Shelf
Leave some room for an open wall shelf in your kitchen to show off your favorite trinkets and decor.
It’s a great way to introduce a little dynamic among the uniformity of the kitchen set.
2. Drinks Rack
Install glass shelves into your kitchen wall to show off your fine liquor and crystal glasses.
3. Use a Mirror to Your Advantage
When you’re left with an empty wall and are after the simplest way to give it some character – get a mirror.
It won’t only make your kitchen appear more spacious, but will also reflect the decor and furniture you already have and help make the space look filled.
4. Neon Sign
By now, neon signs are a classic in many modern kitchens.
They’re highly decorative and provide you with pleasant light in the evening, so that you don’t have to use overhead lighting when you don’t have to.
5. Be an Open Book
We all tend to have a bunch of mismatched plates and dishes in our kitchens that we don’t bring out before anyone but family.
However, many of us also have some beautiful pieces in our possession that deserve to be seen.
Devote a good chunk of your kitchen wall to hang stylish shelves that will hold your prettiest tableware.
6. Elegant Wall Lights
If you’ve got your kitchen aesthetically covered, but would still like to add some charm to the walls, get yourself some elegant wall lights.
They’ll elevate the room, provide additional lighting, and fill the empty space in a charming way.
7. Antique Art
Where wall hangings are concerned – in any room – a classic piece of art inside an antique frame is always in.
It can be your statement piece or even the sole wall decor your kitchen needs.
8. Think of the Placement
Hanging art can be tricky, as most spaces benefit from complete symmetry.
Also, make sure to hang your wall art in a way that makes it stand out the most in the kitchen.
9. A Touch of Brass & Gold
Upscale your kitchen walls with classic luxury elements, such as brass or gold trinkets.
10. Artistic Backdrop
There’s no reason why the backdrop of your cooking stove should be sad and empty.
Place your desired decor in a way that won’t make it a fire hazard, and enjoy cooking with a view!
11. Kitchen Plants
House plants are a welcome addition to each and every room within a home and the kitchen is no exception.
Adorn your breakfast nook or cooking area with hanging plants to make it livelier and more refreshing.
12. Bread Basket
Make clever use of wicker baskets and store your bread on your wall.
It provides the room with a unique charm and gives off the Provence vibes.
13. Sweeten It Up With Curtains
For a warmer homey feel in your kitchen, adorn your windows with charming curtains.
14. Staying Minimalist
Your kitchen wall racks should reflect the rest of the cultivated aesthetic.
Keep it simple, but stylish with an elegant, brass rack on the wall.
15. Farmhouse Wicker Decor
We’re used to seeing wicker baskets placed everywhere in farmhouse-inspired places, but have you ever seen them hung on a wall?
Try it in your own kitchen. It’s sure to provide it with ample rural charm.
16. Cottagecore Hangers
Your coat hangers can be a part of the wall decor if you choose well.
Much like with racks, simply make sure they match the rest of your kitchen decor.
17. A Little Bit of Everything
If you’re working with a small kitchen, go ahead and create a little creative clutter.
Group all of your wall hangings in the same place, including storage baskets, wall art, and open shelves.
In Conclusion
We spend a lot of time in our kitchens, and to be able to completely enjoy and relax at home, we require beautiful surroundings.
Make the most of the additional decorating space your kitchen wall grants you and hang lovely decor and functional utilities in clever and creative ways.
