8. Create a sophisticated gallery wall

For those looking for major, affordable kitchen upgrades to bring a whole new vibe to the space, this one is for you! We often shop for artwork to create an eye-catching display in an entryway or fill out a gallery wall in the living room, but who says you can’t do the same thing in the kitchen?

It may not be as common, but it should be! Whether you’re going totally avant-garde or adding just a few pieces that complement your kitchen decor, there are plenty of ways to incorporate wall art into this special room.

Kitchen gallery wall ideas include everything from showcasing beautiful plates, baskets, or cutting boards to a collection of framed art (keep it on theme by choosing still-life oil paintings of food).

So, which upgrade would you go for? Or perhaps you’re thinking of implementing several?
