no family pics in the kitchen. I'd do a nice sized piece of art. Maybe a few floating wood shelves if you need it. you don't need much. keep it simple.

Thank you

some other ideas

I would say nothing since you walk by it and there doesn't seem to be a lot of space.

Maybe something fun and food related. The below pics are just a starting point....don’t know your style...Art.com and Etsy have good, inexpensive prints that you can have framed to your liking (as well as already framed). These are from the Houzz Shop.

I don’t know if this is your style.

Artwork.

Artwork for sure since this is the kitchen!

Robby I like that !!!

There is not much space between the wall and the island so I wouldn't hang anything. Think about painting that wall or maybe wallpaper.

I’m glad you like that! :) Beautiful kitchen you have.

I would get a medium to large sized photography picture! Something that is a landscape or city street or something else! I think being that the wall is in a kitchen which you will be spending a lot of time in, it would be nice to have something really pretty to look at! I'm not a huge fan of abstract pictures/art just because it gets boring to look at after a while in my opinion! Etsy has some great photographers that sell there pictures on there!
This is one of the Etsy stores I've ordered from and they are truest so beautiful!! I think something like these would be gorgeous! Some of her pictures are sold at IKEA!

Beautiful home! I like the "gather" sign. Here's an ideabook of display ideas that might help. If you do a family wall, definitely super wide mats and thin frames to keep it from becoming too busy in your serene space.Good luck! https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56580403/thumbs/display-ideas

A large piece of Art can instantly change the vibe of any space.

Attached some pictures to give you better idea :) I hope it will help to decor your space :)

Mirror window frame. Give illusion space is bigger

If hanging photos or artist rendering, remember the rule of , consistency in repeating the frames and mats, and subject matter.

Thank you Chris Zec! Love these ideas

I would say one large nice piece of art, not too bright but more neutral. Perhaps one piece made up of a several frames or one that is more wide (horizontal) than tall, or just one large piece :)
Or you make that wall textured with something of a darker color. There so many neat ideas for textured walls with panels, stone, tiles and whatever else, this could make that wall look so neat especially with some lighting hitting the textures that are more prominent, and creating nice visual effects. So so many things you can do to make that wall stand out and have more character. I do wish that area was a bit more open though. Best of luck in your project, excited to know what you are going to decide to do with it and see the final product.

Maybe for some small herbs for the kitchen, or some succulents, nothing growing out of control?

I'd be so tempted to wallpaper that wall

Do a gallery of EMPTY interesting frames.

Yessssss wall paper! Totally back in style plus you can always change it just like paint if you don’t like! Large geometric pattern in dark grey? Some large pattern that’s not busy.

You could make a message center and put all of your "important" stuff on it....

I like Irene's idea of wallpaper. It will give the wall a nice dimension. Please don't put pictures of your family on that wall, as there's so many other places to put family pictures.

I agree with "artwork".. ....a large piece....

I don't see any art in any rooms in your photos. Time to start collecting. I have some of everything: photography, oil paintings, watercolors, prints, paintings by friends and family, sculpted wood art, metal art. It doesn't even have to be art on purpose: a really interesting antique tool can be an "art" sculpture (antique sock-darning forms, old wood planers, for example, which I have sitting on top of an antique sewing machine cabinet). Anything you really like can be your style...and anything you like can be used to decorate your home and give it personality.

I agree with laurelcollins. Put up whatever gives you joy to look at. Break the rules. No reason you can’t put family photos in the kitchen. If you’re staging the home to sell, that’s a different story. But if you’re staging it for you, do what you love! There are some great ideas here. The only thing I’d avoid is anything that will impede the walkway or potentially be a place to bonk a head. A canvas or even a thick frame is probably fine, but I would be careful of shelves (though they can look really cool!) Shops like Home Goods have tons of artwork and decor for cheap. Or you could try your hand at making something. I painted an “abstract” for our wall. I wanted specific colors and wasn’t finding exactly what I wanted (or what I found was too expensive.) Etsy is a great place to look too, as others have mentioned. And you can get custom pieces, quotes, personalized art, or whatever. Good luck and update on what you decide to do!
