Practical Tips for Licensing Art for Kitchenware
Match the Art to the Product:
When you work with an art licensing agency, they can help you pick art that will fit into the overall vision of your product line. Because an agency knows its line and artists so well, they can help you choose designs that create a cohesive look across different items. Whether it’s bold patterns, delicate florals, or seasonal art, your agency partner will work with you to make sure you see art and patterns that enhance the appeal of your specific kitchenware product lines.
Think About Color Schemes:
Color plays a crucial role in kitchen decor and we are color fanatics. By working with an art licensor, you can feel confident that the artwork you choose aligns with current trends and can fit various kitchen styles. Whether you’re looking for neutral tones that blend seamlessly with most palettes, or vibrant colors that add a dash of excitement, an art licensing partner will help you make the right choices and can even work with you to adjust collections to match your specific need or vision.

There is no denying the importance and popularity of seasonal decor. From Christmas to Thanksgiving, Halloween to Valentine’s and everywhere in between, adding seasonal themes to your kitchenware lines keeps your collection fresh, timely and relevant at retail. At Wild Apple we are experts at creating seasonal collections in the latest looks and trends that consumers are looking for.
Collaborate with the Agency:
Working closely with your licensing agency should be easy and collaborative. They can provide valuable insights into trending designs and advise on the best ways to use the artwork on your products even helping to create mockups. With that kind of expertise at your fingertips, you can make informed decisions that will help your products be successful at retail.
