Contemporary Art Displays Without Making A Hole In Your Wall

By Gregory Nelson


You have probably seen numerous interior design magazines where pictures and art are placed in the kitchen, whether hung on the wall or otherwise. Though putting artwork in the kitchen may have its disadvantages; to do with grease and oil damaging and dirtying your artwork pieces, you can still undertake some simple steps to make sure that your pictures will last well into the future while at the same time creating some interest in the kitchen. Here are the pointers in kitchen Contemporary Art Displays.

There is no real secret. If you can't hang artwork on the wall, then rest it on something. The question then is where to put it such that it brings attention to it as a work of artwork rather than an eyesore.

A general rule of thumb to follow is that your artwork should be approximately three quarters the length of your chosen table as this will allow people to fully appreciate the painting without thinking the surroundings too odd. Other factors to consider are that the artwork display should be noticeable and should not face an area of the room where no person can view it properly because this would negate the purpose of creating it in the first place.

Alternatively, you can always place your artwork on a chair, and this works best with antique furniture which is located next to a doorway because people can view it whenever they enter or leave a room. Using an antique chair to exhibit your artwork will benefit both the furniture and the painting especially if the work is both tall and narrow and reaches a person's eye level on viewing.

Put it on a chair; you can put a nice old antique chair next to the doorway, and then put an artwork piece on the seat of the chair. This display method would be more suitable for artwork pieces that are tall and narrow in shape, with the top of the artwork piece almost reaching eye level when resting on the chair.

Stick to pictures that are small in size. Most kitchens are relatively small in size. Assuming your kitchen is a modest sized one, select artwork that is smaller in size. Small pictures are better appreciated from a near distance, especially in an enclosed space of a kitchen.

The better approach is to arrange three or four small pictures and group them. Because people looking at the artwork will be seeing it from a close distance, select pictures that have detail in them - an example would be flowers where the intricate details of its petals can be seen. Small pictures with detail are much more appreciated when a viewer is seeing it from a short distance away, like from a dining table.

Select the right theme. Why not hang four pictures in a square group arrangement, with each picture showing a different flower with a different color. You can, of course, be brave and do away with all the boring food and flower stuff.
