Do More with Your Kitchen Art and Décor
The kitchen is the heart of the home — for cooking, eating, gathering, sharing, and living. As such, kitchens hold a special space in home design. The best kitchen décor combines form and function, bringing colors, patterns, and shapes together for a cohesive aesthetic.
The best of this season plays into a return to social. With more friends and family joining us for dinner or special events, trends are curated around updating our existing spaces to a relaxed yet luxurious environment that is perfect for living well and entertaining.
Organic Minimalism
The bright whites, stone, and ceramics that give Minimalist style a decidedly laid-back feel are enlivened with plants and natural elements. This season’s new neutrals like aqua, apricot, sky blue, stone, and sand call upon nature for design guidance. Organic Minimalist style is perfect for smaller kitchens or for creating an open feel. White walls throughout the home add continuity to shake off the feeling of containment or space separation. Art is a perfect nature complement, especially for infusing more light and depth into your kitchen.
Add a large statement piece (e.g., 32”x48”) to a wall that lacks cabinets or shelving. We love these pieces for Minimalist kitchens:
Traditional Cottage
The traditional cottage is an update on the modern rustic that has met mainstream saturation. Cottages kitchens give cozy feels with stone hearths and shaker cabinets, mismatched teacups on flannel, and bread baking in the oven. Traditional kitchens may be a design choice or an inherited style, but just because they are an older design does not mean they cannot have a spark and “now” feeling of their own.
Use art to tie together new designs with older features like a framed piece above a stove or a set or grouping on a wall that needs extra visual interest.

Life of the Party
Maximalism is one of our favorite trends because it encompasses anything and everything, completely customizable for the individual. Whether it’s jewel-tone painted cabinets, bold wrapped canvases, art galleries, or busy backsplashes, the Life of the Party trend toes a line between visual carnival and too much. And we are here for it.
Don’t hold back with Life of the Party. Choose everything that makes you happy and arrange, and arrange, and arrange some more. Find floating shelves for special collections or to prop up art pieces that complement your Maximalist scheme.
