Tips

Worth doing before you hang it

Choose a spot away from steam and splashes, such as a breakfast nook or the wall above a run of counter. A small grid or a pair of prints keeps it tidy in a busy room.

  • Pick a wall steam never reaches. Template it before drilling near tiles or units.
  • Glass-fronted frames you can wipe. Seal the backs against moisture in the air.
  • Keep it small and tight. A four-frame grid or a neat pair fits between cabinets.
  • Hang at standing eye level. Lower if the wall sits over a breakfast table.
  • Tile bit and the right plugs. Essential if you are fixing into a splashback.

Can you put a gallery wall in a kitchen?

Yes, as long as you choose the spot carefully. Pick a wall away from steam and splashes, such as a breakfast nook or above a run of counter rather than directly behind the hob or sink, so prints and frames stay protected.

What kind of frames are best for a kitchen?

Favour glass-fronted frames you can wipe clean, since kitchens collect grease and moisture in the air. Sealed prints behind glass cope far better than open canvases or unglazed pieces, and a simple finish keeps the look tidy in an already busy room.

How many prints should a kitchen gallery wall have?

Keep it modest. A small grid of four or a neat pair often suits a kitchen better than a large cluster, since wall space is usually limited between units and appliances.

What art looks good in a kitchen?

Food, botanical, vintage advert and simple typographic prints all suit kitchens and feel at home with the room's purpose. Keep the palette simple and cohesive so the display stays calm against worktops, splashbacks and everyday clutter.
