The dining room and kitchen are where daily life happens—meals, chats, and everything in between. So why leave the walls blank? Wall art brings personality into these spaces, turning them into places you actually want to spend time in. It helps tie your style together and can even set the tone for how the room feels.
Why Art Matters in a Shared Space
When your dining room and kitchen connect, it’s important that they feel like one cohesive area. Wall art helps with that. It adds warmth, fills empty space, and complements the rest of your home decor. Whether you lean toward minimalist prints or bold color, the right art can make your kitchen and dining room feel finished—without a full redesign.
Best Types of Art for Kitchens and Dining Rooms
What works in one room might not fit the other, but here are styles that look great in both:
-
Modern line art: Clean and simple, perfect for open spaces
-
Botanical or herb prints: Bring a fresh feel and nod to cooking
-
Typography: Words like “gather,” “eat,” or short phrases feel at home in either room
-
Still life or food art: A classic choice with modern framing
-
Abstracts: Tie colors from both spaces together without being too literal
Laboo Studio’s Kitchen & Dining Wall Art Collection is full of easy-to-match options that feel at home in both rooms.
Choosing the Right Canvas Size
You don’t need to fill every inch of the wall. Instead, go for balance:
-
Above a dining table: Use one large piece or a set of three smaller canvases
-
In the kitchen: Look for narrower or horizontal prints that tuck between shelves or appliances
-
Corner spaces: Two prints side by side can soften sharp edges and help link the areas
Oversized pieces are great for high ceilings, while gallery walls work well if you want more variety.
How to Match Art with Your Home Style
The key to finding the right wall art is to match the tone of your space—not just the colors. Ask yourself:
-
Is your style modern and clean? Try black and white photography or minimalist designs.
-
Do you prefer warm and rustic? Go for natural textures and earthy prints.
-
Love a colorful, casual look? Choose bold illustrations or vintage-inspired pieces.
No matter your style, keep frames consistent across both rooms for a unified look.
Easy Ways to Hang and Style Art
You don’t need fancy tools to display art well. Here’s what works:
-
Hang prints at eye level, about 60 inches from the floor to the center of the art
-
Leave space between frames and furniture—around 6–10 inches
-
Mix and match frame sizes but stick to the same color or material
-
For open kitchens, consider leaning art on a shelf or counter for a laid-back look
In high-traffic areas, stick with framed pieces behind glass or sealed prints that can handle steam and heat.
Art That Complements Your Life
Art should match your lifestyle, not just your color scheme. Choose pieces that reflect how you use your space:
-
Host a lot? Use bold art that sparks conversation
-
Love to cook? Pick food or spice-themed prints
-
Prefer calm mornings? Go for soft, neutral art that feels grounding
Your wall art doesn’t have to be flashy. It just has to feel like home.
