Tips & Inspiration

Color by numbers with a kitchen theme brings the cozy warmth of coffee, fresh markets and sweet treats to your wall — section by section, with numbered pens and without needing to know a thing about drawing or painting. No paint, no water, no mess: you color the pre-printed numbered sections cleanly at the kitchen table, and end up with a painting that belongs right in your kitchen or dining nook. In our color by numbers collection you'll find five atmospheric kitchen and café sets, from Cozy Café to Patisserie Dreams.

Why a kitchen theme works so well

The kitchen is the heart of the home: it's where we cook, chat and come together. A painting of coffee, cake or a colorful market reinforces exactly that warm, homey feeling. And because color by numbers works with pre-printed, numbered sections, you don't need to be an artist to make a kitchen painting like this yourself. You color with numbered pens, so it stays clean and calm: you can fill in a few sections between cooking and simply set the canvas aside again. It's exactly that combination — a cozy motif that you bring to life at your own pace — that makes a kitchen theme so rewarding.

The five kitchen and café sets

Each set consists of two canvases with the same color palette, so with one set of pens you make two matching paintings. These are the five themes within this category:

Cozy Café

The warm atmosphere of a snug coffee house: steaming cups, cozy corners and soft light. Cozy Café brings the calm of an afternoon at your favorite coffee spot to your own wall.

Sunny Market

Colorful stalls full of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers under a clear sky. Sunny Market is brimming with fresh colors and makes a cheerful eye-catcher above the dining table.

Retro Kitchen

Nostalgia with a wink: pastel shades, vintage shapes and the cozy charm of a kitchen of days gone by. Retro Kitchen fits perfectly in an interior with a touch of the 1950s.

Patisserie Dreams

Little cakes, macarons and sweet treats in the loveliest shades. Patisserie Dreams is a treat for anyone who loves baking and sweetness — colorful and wonderfully inviting.

Ceramics Studio

Handcrafted mugs, jugs and pottery in warm, earthy colors. Ceramics Studio radiates calm and craftsmanship, and looks lovely in a kitchen with a natural, handmade feel.

Which size and how many colors should you choose?

For the sets you choose from three color counts: 24 colors (Essential), 36 colors (Detailed) and 48 colors (Premium). More colors means more detail and smoother transitions; 24 is the most beginner-friendly, 48 the most refined. For a lively market or patisserie motif with lots of color nuance, 36 or 48 looks best, while 24 colors is lovely for relaxed coloring with slightly calmer motifs. Not sure where to start? Our beginner's starter guide helps you choose.

The sizes range from 30×40 to 60×80 cm. For a kitchen, the smaller and medium sizes (30×40 or 40×50) often work nicely: they fit easily above a countertop or between cabinets, and are finished sooner. In the guide about choosing the set of two canvases and the right theme you'll read how to match size and theme to your wall.

Two canvases, one mood: as a diptych in the kitchen

Because each set contains two canvases with the same palette, you hang them together as a diptych — two paintings that feel like one whole. Above the dining nook, next to the coffee corner or between the kitchen cabinets, they form a calm, cohesive eye-catcher. That way, one set gives you a complete wall piece rather than a single painting. Want to be sure the theme suits your interior? Then take a look at our guide to color by numbers for adults for inspiration.

A kitchen set also makes a warm, personal gift — for a birthday, a housewarming or simply for the home cook in your life. You'll find more inspiration in our article on color by numbers as a gift. And do you want to make it truly personal? With Custom Photo – Color by Numbers we turn your own kitchen photo, favorite café or that one baking moment into a numbered color-by-numbers canvas with matching pens.

What does a kitchen set cost?

The collection sets (two canvases together) start at €59.95. The price depends on the size and the number of colors; the larger sizes (50×70 and 60×80) are a little higher. You can see the exact price for each set on the product page. All prices show a crossed-out "from" price (50% off), and shipping is free, worldwide and with no minimum order.

Frequently asked questions

What is color by numbers with a kitchen theme?

It's a pre-printed canvas with numbered sections that you color in with numbered pens — here with a cozy kitchen, café or sweet-treat motif. You don't need any drawing or painting skill, and you work cleanly: no paint, no water and no mess.

Within this theme you'll find five sets: Cozy Café, Sunny Market, Retro Kitchen, Patisserie Dreams and Ceramics Studio. Each set contains two canvases that share the same color palette.

Can I hang a painting like this in my kitchen?

Yes. Do hang the canvas at some distance from the stove and steam, so grease and moisture don't reach it directly. That way the colors stay beautiful and you'll enjoy it for a long time above the dining or coffee corner.

How many colors is best for a kitchen theme?

For lively market or patisserie motifs with lots of nuance, 36 or 48 colors looks best. If you mainly want relaxed coloring, choose 24 colors (Essential): larger sections are more pleasant to color and the result comes into view sooner.

What does a color-by-numbers set cost?

The sets of two canvases start at €59.95. The exact price depends on size and color count and is shown on the product page. All prices include free worldwide shipping, with no minimum order.

Can I have my own kitchen photo converted?

Absolutely. With Custom Photo – Color by Numbers you upload a photo — for example your own kitchen, favorite café or a bake — and we convert it into a numbered canvas with matching pens. Do choose a sharp, well-lit photo with enough contrast.
