Help selecting art for bare kitchen wall
Hi! This bare kitchen wall needs decorating. It's 59" from counter to ceiling and 51" across. 2nd pic shows the bold (LOUD!) abstract art we have so I think something understated here is called for. Maybe a clock or metal or wooden wall sculpture?
I'd appreciate your suggestions.
I was looking at clocks like these but I am just not sure:

Help deciding art work for kitchen
Comments (3)I'd like to see a pic of your kitchen since where you hang the art could wash it out...sorry mitchdesj!!! Meaning I could see them with a sage and then maybe the buff background...not so sure about the russet though. I like the prints. They look nice here online, and if you have no green in the kitchen the veggies will bring a wonderful element to the mix....See MoreArt Work - Too Small for Wall?
Comments (60)Thanks everyone ... I appreciate all the help and compliments I received on this! The rug isn't new, but it was my 3rd try until I got it "right" You know I didn't even think to move the picture up a little, to cover the box, but I will definitely do that. Unfortunately my whole house needs to be rewired, so I will have many more of these type holes to patching paint!...See MoreBare Wall - Add Lighting, or Art, or ...?
Comments (12)Thank you all so much. I love lmmcnitt's idea of tone-on-tone wallpaper, I hadn't thought of that (despite loving wallpaper! I did a funky mid-century modern style accent wall in our master). That could really work - adding either a blue tone-on-tone, or even a neutral, could really do the trick, the texture would be a great layer. Special thanks to Groveraxle for the renderings - that is incredibly helpful! I love the first rendering of that mechanical-arc lamp, that's what I was envisioning and seeing it makes me really think that's the way to go (in addition to a tone-on-tone wallpaper that would really complete the space). I'm going to look around for things similar - even taller maybe, as the ceilings are high and can really handle height. I do like everyone's ideas of a plant too - a little green would warm things up. Alas, I am crazy picky about plants, not sure I'd be able to find one I like. It's weird, but it's hard to find 'modern plants'. Cheers everyone, again - much appreciated....See MoreHow should I hang art work on these walls?
Comments (5)I'd put blinds Bamboo blinds, more contemporary, on the windows and open the drapery panels on each side of the windows... only need the drapes pulled when you want a total darkness. I'd put large art in the indented area with a table and lamp Ambient lighting is a must for any room. A tall piece of furniture on that tiled floor that meets the carpet. I'd pull the sectional closer to the tiled edge... away from the window move the ottoman to the far side... and the side chair. ... find a new play room for the kitchen set....See More

5 years agoI always like having a clock available -helps me with the timing of my cooking (and I need all the help I can get), but I also like decorative plates and copper trays, so I usually have a couple of things up there with the clock. Current arrangement:

5 years agoHere are two framed giclee prints from allposter.com. The first Composition VII, 1913 by Wassily Kandinsky. The second is "The Gold of the Azure" by Joan Miro, 1967. I think it is a happy piece.
Look in the framed art prints category if you're interested. https://www.allposters.com/-sp/The-Gold-of-the-Azure-1967-Posters_i10646280_.htm?UPI=F6C6Q00&sOrigID=116958
I got a reproduction of a 1932 Good Housekeeping cover for my kitchen from them and I am very happy.
