Most people have considered and bought art for their homes; usually for hanging in their living areas - lounge, dining room, study, bedroom and hallways.
But areas that are often overlooked for original abstract art or abstract art prints are the utility areas like a kitchen or bathroom. We spend a fair amount of time in these home spaces, so they deserve as much attention from a decor perspective as the rest of the house.
A common misconception is that kitchens and bathrooms generate too much moisture for artworks to be hung on the walls. That is simply not true. Modern day art on canvas is made from robust contemporary materials that cope well with variations in room heat and humidity. So that should not be a barrier to choosing an original painting on canvas, or a high quality reproduction print on framed canvas.
The same goes for high quality framed art prints. As long as the artwork is not in direct contact with water, it should be a perfect addition to your space.
And the subject matter can be as creative as your imagination. In fact, kitchens and bathrooms are an opportunity to exercise your home decorator creative skills. An original commissioned painting can contain the exact colour scheme you’ve chosen for your walls and tiles. You can match roller blinds, roman blinds, drapes and curtains to compliment your colour scheme.
The same goes for framed art prints, across a wide choice of sizes, and frame colour and finish.

Thanks, reassuring. Does this also apply to hanging canvases above radiators re the heat?
