What to do with an empty wall in kitchen?

[Anonymous]

It will be behind where people sit. Husband wants a LARGE digital calendar. I do not want that at all. I have been looking on Houzz and it seems that the only things on kitchen walls are large utensils or signs that are very farmhouse. I do not have a farmhouse house. Transitional is probably the best description, pretty classic.

What do people do?

I have a bookcase for my cookbooks and some pretty kitchen related art.

Where do you get art for a kitchen?

I've seen a TV, gallery wall of family photos or other art, write on calendar

I have seen big abstract prints. A single very large one.

I framed some of my grandmother's handwritten recipes, some of which are in her native language.

It's one of my favorite things in the house.

That sounds lovely on many levels.

I saw a kitchen in a magazine where the family had decorated with a bunch of vintage paint by number canvases in a similar theme—that looked great.

I also liked a similar space where the wall was filled with a huge map that had been cut up and put into smaller frames.

If you have room I would do bookshelves as Pp stated. Also, less room needed for a thin credenza or sofa table with painting above maybe two tall thin lamps on either side. It is the dining place so don’t have to have kitchen art.

I have ceramic plates I got in Turkey when I was 24, a brass plaque my grandfather had from Anheuser Busch, a few wood carvings from Mexico, some framed (under glass) gouaches from Australia.

We have a large black white board in our kitchen that I love. (It's a while board that is black so you can use markers on it, not a chalk board that uses chalk.). I put the menu for the week on there, important scheduling notes... stuff like that.

This is such a beautiful idea
