There's no denying that kitchen ideas need to be functional, but that doesn't mean they can't be stylish, too. Your existing furniture, cabinetry, and appliances will usually influence the room's decor, yet how you decorate your kitchen's walls can enhance the space and crucially, your mood, too. Wall decor ideas can, indeed, give your space a whole new personality.

If you're keen to give your kitchen a whole new look for 2023, If you want to be happier at home, then introduce kitchen art ideas that stimulate the senses.

Erica Davis, co-founder of Murus Art explains hanging a large colorful piece above a dining table creates an uplifting atmosphere while propping smaller pieces on shelves and countertops will inspire you as you cook. When leaning artwork on countertops, choose pieces framed behind glass so splashes can be wiped clean.

Indicating that Placing the mural on the same wall as the main entrance, so it’s behind you as you enter the room, will dial it down further.

Mr Miller said decorating above kitchen cabinets is a wonderful way to fill the empty kitchen wall space with an attractive feature, rather than just letting it sit bare and unloved.

He further added that making use of wasted wall space in a tight spot, by adding a couple of runs of painted kitchen shelving ideas for contrast and intrigue.

‘I often think the kitchen is a room where one can have some fun and play with color,’ says interior designer Stephanie Wilhelm, who incorporated boldly painted shelves in a recent project.

Simple LED strips or miniature spotlights can be used to illuminate shelf displays, enhancing their impact and adding subtle evening glamor, especially useful when you want to create a softer mood for dining.
