Good Taste Goes Beyond the Table
Choosing art for your kitchen and dining space
You picked your favourite cup. Give your walls the same attention.
The kitchen is often the first room we walk into in the morning and the last one we leave after friends come over. We choose plates, collect glasses and spend a surprisingly long time deciding which chairs belong around the table. The walls deserve a little of that thought, too.
A poster can bring colour into a quiet corner, give a dining area its own identity or add something amusing to look at while the coffee brews. It’s another chance to make a familiar space feel like yours.
For our kitchen and dining selection, we brought together illustrations with different moods: a Georgian bazaar, a slightly unfortunate ice cream, a pink still life and a little sunshine. Here’s how to find a place for them at home.
A little Bazaar at your table
There’s something fitting about bringing a market scene into a room where people gather to eat. The illustration of a woman sitting in a Georgian bazaar carries that connection through its subject and Georgian motifs. It gives the dining space a story to spend time with.
A piece like this works especially well where you can see its details: beside a breakfast table or on a wall facing your usual seat. Pair it with familiar objects -ceramics, a wooden table, a textile you love and let the room develop around it.
Try picking one colour from the illustration and repeating it somewhere small, perhaps in a bowl or a set of napkins. That’s enough to create a connection without making everything match. - https://dae.ge/en/products/bazaar
Room for a Small Mishap
The ice-cream illustration brings a different kind of energy. A pink chair, a green window frame and a dropped ice cream turn an everyday mishap into something worth framing. It’s a good starting point for a kitchen that could use a little humour. In a simple interior, those colours can become the detail that catches your eye. In a more colourful room, they can join the conversation already happening between your furniture and objects.
Give the image some space around it. A playful artwork doesn’t need a busy wall to make an impression.

A softer place to sit
Phone Calls and Flowers - Stay a Little Longer
A dining table takes on plenty of roles throughout the day. We eat breakfast, work, arrange flowers and let our coffee go cold during a long phone call.
Phone Calls and Flowers belongs in that everyday mood. It’s a choice for a room where personal objects, colours and little stories gather.
Place a favourite vase nearby or repeat one of the illustration’s colours in your table linen. Leave room for the things you collect over time, too. They’re what make the space feel like yours.

A little sunshine
“Under the Sun” introduces another mood to the selection - an invitation to bring a sense of the outdoors into an everyday setting.
Kitchen art can reach beyond the things we cook and eat. A scene that reminds you of summer or somewhere you’d like to spend an afternoon can feel perfectly at home beside a dining table.
That personal association is a useful way to choose. If an image makes you want to stay a little longer, it may already belong in the room.

Tea Ritual - Time for Your Favourite Cup
Small habits give a kitchen its character: tea at the same hour, a favourite cup, a few quiet minutes before the day begins. Tea Ritual feels at home in a corner dedicated to those moments - beside a tea and coffee shelf, near a small table or wherever you sit down for a break.
If the area is already filled with cups, jars and utensils, choose a clearer stretch of wall for the poster. The illustration will be easier to appreciate and your daily ritual will have a space of its own.

Finding the right size and spot
Consider the artwork in relation to the furniture beneath it. Above a dining table or sideboard, a larger piece can give the whole area a clear focus. A small print can work beautifully on a narrow wall or beside a shelf, where its scale feels intentional.
Before committing to a size, mark out its dimensions with paper on the wall. Look at it from the doorway, then sit down at the table. You’ll get a much better sense of how it belongs in the space.
Leave breathing room between the frame and nearby shelves, windows or cabinets. In the kitchen, choose a spot away from direct heat, steam and splashes.
The frame is part of the picture
A frame connects the illustration to the room around it. Wood can pick up the warmth of a table or chair; a slim dark frame can echo other details in the space.
If you’re hanging two works together, look for a shared colour, mood or framing detail. They can be different in subject and still sit comfortably together. Leave enough space between them for each image to be seen on its own.
Something you’ll enjoy every day
The best reason to choose a poster is that you want to live with it. Perhaps it reminds you of a familiar market. Perhaps you love the colours. Perhaps the dropped ice cream makes you smile.
At DAE, we collaborate with Georgian and international illustrators and produce art prints in Tbilisi, bringing their work into the spaces we use every day.
