Bon Appetit Print | Blue Stripe Kitchen Wall Art Poster

A bon appetit print for the wall you eat in front of. The phrase is set in three lines of fat red display type inside a cream panel with a scalloped edge, floating on broad cobalt and cream stripes.

About the artwork

Three colours, no drawing at all. The scalloped panel is the only shape, and its wobbly edge keeps the strong stripes from feeling rigid. The letterforms are rounded and slightly uneven, closer to a painted sign than a typeface. Red on cream inside cobalt is a deliberately old-fashioned combination, the kind used on tinned goods. Portrait.

Why you'll love it

• A phrase everyone already knows. No explanation needed, in any country, which is why it suits a dining wall guests will see.
• Strong enough to anchor a wall. The cobalt does the work of a coloured wall without painting one.
• Built as a set. Every design in the food and drink series shares the same cream ground and paper, so any combination lines up.
• A gift for a new kitchen. Bright, generous and impossible to get wrong.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Sizes and materials

• Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Thirteen sizes in all: 8" x 12" through 30" x 40", plus A4–A1.
• Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Styling it at home

Put it where the food arrives: above a dining table, at the end of a kitchen island, or on the wall a hatch opens onto. The cobalt is saturated enough that it fights a busy splashback, so give it a plain wall and let the stripes be the pattern in the room. It looks best in a plain white or natural wood frame; a dark frame closes it in. One is enough — this print does not want a neighbour.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

What size should I get? Between cabinets or above a counter, 12" x 18" or 16" x 24". Above a dining table or sideboard, go 24" x 36" or larger so the print holds the wall.

Does it come framed? Paper prints ship unframed and fit standard frames. Choose a framed canvas if you would rather skip the framing shop.

Can I hang more than one together? Yes. The food and drink prints share one palette and one paper, so two or three hang as a matched set.
