Funny Kitchen Wall Art That Still Looks Good

Most kitchen art falls into two camps. There is the tasteful botanical that nobody really looks at, and there is the slogan print that felt funny in the shop and tired by week two. The trick to humour that lasts is to treat it like any other piece of art. Strong composition, good colour, a proper sense of style. The joke is the bonus, not the whole point.

Why a bit of humour works in a kitchen

The kitchen is where people gather, talk and wait for the kettle. It can take a lighter touch than a living room. A print that makes a guest smile is a conversation starter, and it stops an all white kitchen feeling like a showroom. The key is one good piece rather than a wall of gags.

How to keep it tasteful

Pick a print with a considered palette so it sits with your tiles and worktops rather than fighting them. Frame it properly in oak or black. Give it a clear spot, above a console, on a shelf or against a splashback, so it reads as a deliberate choice. One witty print in a good frame always beats three novelty ones.

The print people keep asking about

Our Geese with Wine and Pizza print is the one that earns the double take. Two geese in headscarves and sunglasses, sat down to red wine and pizza, painted with enough warmth and detail to hold its own on the wall. It works in a kitchen, a dining nook or anywhere that could do with a little less seriousness.

It sits happily alongside the rest of our kitchen wall art, and if you lean towards the edible and drinkable, the food and drink prints are worth a look too. Sold unframed so you can choose the frame that suits your space.
