1. Choose Art That Celebrates Togetherness

This space is about connection.

• Best themes: food culture, abstract warmth, African still life, subtle wildlife, joyful human forms

2. Go Medium, Not Massive

Kitchen and dining walls work best with medium-sized art.

• Ideal sizes: 40×60 cm to 60×90 cm
• One piece per wall or a calm pair above a sideboard

3. Warm Colors = Better Atmosphere

Lean into tones that stimulate appetite and conversation:

• Terracotta, burnt orange, mustard, olive green
• Soft neutrals with warm accents

4. Let the Space Feel Lived-In

Kitchen art can be relaxed:

• Handwritten-style quotes (tasteful and minimal)
• Soft illustrations
• Art that feels friendly, not formal

5. Subtle African Touches Work Best

Light cultural influence feels timeless:

• Abstract African patterns
• Stylized utensils, baskets, or pottery
• Minimal tribal geometry

Bonus Guru Tip…

If your kitchen and dining share one space, use similar color tones in the art to visually unite them, even if the styles differ.
