How to choose and arrange a picture and a panel in the kitchen
Observing the basic rules for placing paintings in the kitchen, a design solution is created, and not a crowd of works of art. With the help of pictures and panels, you can hide the flaws in the layout and show its advantages.
Vertically arranged paintings visually make the ceiling higher, they are suitable for a small and narrow hallway. And horizontally elongated images expand the room.

- Small frescoes, engravings are placed at eye level, at a height of 1.5 m from the floor.
- Massive frames are used only in large rooms.
- If a composition is composed of 3 paintings of different sizes, then attention should be concentrated in the center.
- In one room, it is permissible to place works that are similar in subject matter, color scheme, and technique.
- When placing pictures of different sizes, it should be borne in mind that a large one is never hung over a small one, and it is not advisable to place images of the same size in one line and on the same level.
- On bright walls, paintings can be arranged on a wide mat so that they do not get lost in color.

Technique for creating coffee masterpieces
When creating pictures from coffee, the author shows his skill, imagination and creates a unique copy. Techniques for working with coffee can be combined into 3 main ones:
- Stencil - powder from coffee beans and a pre-prepared stencil are used. It is superimposed on the base, the free parts of the pattern are coated with glue and covered with ground coffee. When the glue is dry, remove the stencil. The silhouette of the pattern will remain in the coffee powder.
- Drawing coffee grounds - the sketch is applied with a pencil, and then painted over with strong brewed coffee. Different consistencies give the desired shades. The hardest part of this technique is to paint without smudges.
- Using coffee beans. This is the simplest and most common way. For crafts, the cheapest coffee is bought, the beans will be of different sizes, which is convenient for work. On the basis for the panel, a sketch of the drawing is made, then covered with glue, the grains are carefully placed on top. The panels are made voluminous, you can use additional materials and accessories.

Products made from beans and ground coffee are so diverse that it is difficult to see all of them. Each master finds his own style. There are several main directions, techniques used in the work. Everything else is a creative approach.
Crafts from twine and coffee
Original crafts and gifts can be made using twine and coffee. Wrap the vase, flower pot, candle with twine so that there are no gaps. Glue the grains onto the twine, creating a drawing or abstraction. From threads create patterns, curls, flowers, stick them on the craft, and decorate with coffee.
Heart of coffee beans
For such a craft, you can purchase a foam heart in special stores. This will make the job much easier. First, paint the heart brown so that the white parts do not show through, and glue the coffee beans. Then fix an aluminum wire or wooden stick in a container of plaster - this will be a heart stand. You can decorate with twine, coffee beans, ribbons, flowers. The heart can be suspended, then the rack and container are not needed. It can be hung on a ribbon above a work table, to a table lamp, in a doorway.
Coffee topiary
The coffee tree is made in any shape: a ball, a herringbone, a heart. Buy the form in the store or make it yourself. Cover it with coffee beans. It can be coated with a colorless varnish, this will give the product shine and durability. But the smell of coffee will disappear. For the trunk, you will need any branch fixed in a flower pot, teacup. For work, you need 100-200 g of coffee, PVA glue, hot glue, gypsum. Ribbons, beads, stones are suitable for decoration.
DIY coffee paintings and drawings
In such crafts, not only the image is appreciated, but also the opportunity to make a frame from coffee. It can be wide, with a multidirectional arrangement of grains, with a combination with other grains. If the frame is wide, then the picture itself should be modest, consisting of an inscription, a silhouette of a cup and 3-5 grains lying next to it. Often used in paintings is a watch dial with hands frozen at the most pleasant moment in life.
A sketch is applied to the canvas. Then the grains are laid out to evaluate how the finished painting will look. If everything suits you, then glue is applied to the silhouette and coffee is carefully glued.
There are no restrictions when creating coffee paintings. You can come up with and depict any landscape, portrait, animals. It all depends on the artistic abilities of the master.
Coffee bean tree
It is made in the form of a panel or crafts. For the panel, you need to draw a tree with a pencil. The trunk and branches are twisted from twine and glued to the base. They will create volume and relief, just like real ones. The grains represent leaves, and coins are glued on the branches among the leaves. It turns out a coffee-money tree.
Another option is to create a craft from a frame or ball pasted over with coffee. Instead of a trunk, a branch or tube is used, fixed with plaster of paris in a teacup, jar or pot. Decorate the cup with cinnamon rolls, vanilla star, dried lemon wedges. This will add a rich aroma.
Crafts from coffee and beans
Using a combination of contrasting tones, you can get paintings and crafts that are completely extraordinary in beauty. This contrast comes from the use of coffee beans and white beans. They are the same in size and texture, combine in a pattern and create an abstraction or a struggle of opposites. From coffee and beans, you can create a picture or a panel with the symbols of Yin and Yang, with the silhouettes of white and dark cats.
In addition to paintings, other crafts are created:
- Fill a beautiful bottle with layers of coffee, beans, cereals and other grains. These layers will vary in color, size and will create an unusual look for your kitchen decoration. Instead of a lid, make a cap of burlap and tie it with twine.
- decorate a simple glass vase in a contrasting style, and it will turn into a stylish accessory.
Combination of coffee and burlap
Burlap is considered the most successful background and basis for coffee crafts. They combine well, the grains are associated with the bags in which they are brought. Therefore, the scattered coffee beans on sacking are already a finished picture. Beginners often create panels with a cup of coffee, a heart, an inscription. It can be just a laid-out silhouette, or a volumetric view completely covered with grains with a real porcelain cup. It all depends on the imagination. A burlap picture can be inserted into a wooden frame, or made from coffee by gluing the beans in one or more rows.
Panels of cats
It is difficult to make a complete picture of coffee beans, especially if there are no pronounced silhouettes. When choosing a theme, many people stop at the image of cats. Their image is easy to create and recognize. A gracefully elongated body, a long tail, ears - everything is quite simple to arrange with large grains, even without experience in drawing. This can be done according to the sketch, gluing them in one line, or you can completely glue the entire silhouette. White and dark cats sitting next to each other look original. Such a panel will decorate any room.
