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.

Protect your artwork with proper framing. Notice how your kitchen areas, like the floor, cupboards and walls, feel oily after cooking? Since your artwork is going to be displayed in the kitchen, where there's going to be a lot of grease from cooking, you should ensure that you give your art pieces proper protection so that it will be long-lasting.

Ensure to display the artwork at eye level. Now it's time to get a little creative - when you hang pictures on the kitchen walls, try to hang them at eye level. This will, undoubtedly be easier for people to relish the pictures without stooping down low or craning their necks just to have a look. If you're hanging artwork in the dining area, make sure that when guests are seated, they will still have a good view of the art pieces.

Another way to display artwork differently is to place your work on top of a console table which is usually found against walls in locations such as dining rooms, hall areas and bedrooms. It is important to remember when putting any artwork on a type of table, is not to overlap it with anything else as this will detract from any impact that the work is intended to make.

The artwork work, together with the antique chair, both complement each other and make a unified statement to your guests as they leave the room through the doorway. If you have a cupboard next to a door, you can also lean the artwork piece against the side of the cupboard as well, so that visitors walking past the doorway can have a good look at it.

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.

One final piece of advice - wherever you decide to put your artwork pieces, always make sure it is not placed at a location where it is easily knocked over. An example is a hallway or corridor, where narrow space and running kids don't exactly form a nice combination especially when there are many decorative artifacts and artwork pieces around.
