There really are no rights or wrongs about what you choose as long as the artwork is framed correctly and is protected from cooking steam and grease.&#8217;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are Carrie&#8217;s\u00a0tips on choosing and caring for art in your kitchen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose fun and expressive artwork\u00a0for your kitchen &#8211; it&#8217;s an entertaining space!<\/li>\n<li>Get your family\u00a0to help you\u00a0pick the artwork.<\/li>\n<li>When choosing colour, get inspiration from a\u00a0colourful object in your kitchen.<\/li>\n<li>If you have an interior\u00a0theme such as vintage or\u00a0country cottage, reflect this in the artwork you choose.<\/li>\n<li>If your kitchen has lots of light streaming through the windows, choose non-reflective glass for framing.<\/li>\n<li>If you have chosen photography or a drawing, make sure it is\u00a0very well sealed and\u00a0protected from steam.<\/li>\n<li>Always buy\u00a0art you really\u00a0love, and not because you think it may be an investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at examples of art that can be as tasty and expressive as the food you make.<\/p>\n<h4>Pictures<\/h4>\n<p>Pictures can\u00a0serve as inspiration for future meals, below we look at some examples of the art one&#8217;s kitchen can be decorated with &#8211; inspired by our &#8216;Hug the Bacon&#8217; month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #2fb9b7;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippi.co.uk\/thestudio\/hug-the-bacon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Theme of the Month: \u2018Hug The Bacon\u2019<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1341 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zippi.co.uk\/thestudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PicMonkey-Collage1.jpg\" alt=\"Collage of Food Art with Bacon as theme of the month\" width=\"700\" height=\"980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zippi.co.uk\/thestudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PicMonkey-Collage1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.zippi.co.uk\/thestudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/PicMonkey-Collage1-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Colours<\/h4>\n<p>White, grey, blue, red, yellow, and green really shine and make a kitchen feel warm and inviting.
