Kitchen: wallpaper for walls and subtleties of choice, photo

Wallpaper for the kitchen has a huge number of varieties. You can choose any option, it all depends on your financial capabilities.

However, there are requirements for wallpaper for kitchen renovations that are best not ignored.

• Firstly, they must be resistant to temperature changes, because the cooking process takes place in the kitchen, and not a single powerful hood will save you from condensation on the walls and ceiling.
• Secondly, it is desirable that the wallpaper can be peeled off wet cleaning. However, they do not have to be washable. Modern wallpaper Vinyl-coated kitchens may well serve the same purpose.
• Thirdly: the kitchen itself and the wallpaper for the walls (as in the photo) should be in harmony with each other. The subtleties of choosing color and texture, as well as the combination of shades, are as important a factor as the quality of the material of this very wallpaper.

Do you think everything is complicated? Then let's figure it out further! Let's start with the materials.

Wallpaper for the kitchen: photos, modern ideas and varieties

Wallpaper for the kitchen is made from different materials. Let's take a closer look.

So, wallpapers are:

• Paper;
• Non-woven;
• Textile;
• Liquid;
• Made from fiberglass;
• Natural.

The first option is the most budgetary, however, for the kitchen paper wallpaper don't fit at all. They are neither practical nor durable. The only advantage, in this case, is the fact that gluing them is not difficult at all.

• Non-woven The wallpaper is perfect for the kitchen, see photo:

Their undoubted advantage is moisture resistance, resistance to mechanical damage and even fire resistance. Non-woven wallpaper also has the property of smoothing out rough wall surfaces, so if your apartment has such shortcomings, non-woven wallpaper is what you need.

• Textile, or fabric wallpaper is a little more difficult to glue, because in the process they get wet and become heavy.

These wallpapers look very presentable and create an “expensive-rich” effect, but gluing them in the area of ​​the work area is not entirely advisable. Fabric wallpaper can change its color, absorb odors and dirt from them is much more difficult to remove than from non-woven wallpaper. If you still cannot resist the beauty of this material, hang fabric wallpaper in the dining area. There's a beautiful one there appearance will be less at risk.

• Liquid wallpaper- a very convenient option for the kitchen in terms of practicality.

They consist of an adhesive base and viscose or cotton fillers responsible for the texture of the wallpaper. They are applied with a spatula, like plaster, and have excellent qualities such as moisture repellency, wear resistance, and noise suppression. Among other things, liquid wallpaper can acquire different texture patterns depending on the application method. There is only one minus - drawings, stripes and ornaments are excluded. Although for many this is not a problem at all, so decide for yourself.

• Glass wallpaper- an innovative and excellent option for the kitchen.

Fiberglass will be your kitchen space's best friend for years to come. The smooth, finely textured surface adheres perfectly to the walls, and you can repaint it as much as you like. “What I want, I do” is the phrase of the proud owners of fiberglass wallpaper. However, the disadvantage of this idea is the price, because glass wallpaper is not a cheap option, so whether to give preference to them or not is a purely financial question.

• Natural wallpaper

This type of wallpaper includes products only from environmentally friendly materials. They come in cork, bamboo and even grass. Yes, yes, you heard right, herbal ones. These materials have come into use recently and are successfully used in the design of eco-kitchens.

The main advantage is, of course, naturalness and non-toxicity, but their appearance is also quite unusual. If you are a nature lover and lead a healthy lifestyle, choose this wallpaper. However, in this case, one should not forget that practicality natural materials zero. They absorb odors, swell from humidity, and most importantly, they instantly ignite, and this is already life-threatening. So, think for yourself, decide for yourself, so to speak.

Rear wallpaper for the kitchen: photo ideas with examples

In our country, the wallpaper industry is not lagging behind. In addition to all the above options, there is such a wonderful thing as 3D photo wallpaper on the wall for the kitchen. Now the variety of prints has reached such a level that choosing a three-dimensional picture for the kitchen walls is not a problem.

The wallpaper for the kitchen with the 3D effect in the photo is simply gorgeous, right?

They can decorate almost any kitchen space, visually deepening or expanding even the smallest room. With all this, they do an excellent job in the areas of practicality and convenience.

Washable wallpaper for the kitchen also comes with a “three-dimensional picture” effect (see photo):

Their main function is to create an unusual, original, simply unique atmosphere for your home. Let's look at the rules that should be followed if you have made a choice in favor of 3D wallpaper:

1. Free wall!

In order for a three-dimensional drawing to look beautiful, it should be given a place of honor - a blank wall. This could be a dining area, or a partition with a bar counter.

2.Don't overload!

Photo wallpaper is a self-sufficient decorative element (so to speak). Do not overload the space with open shelves, niches and tacky textiles. Remember that a bright pattern should be used as the main accent in the space. Then it will look as appropriate as possible.

3.Let's keep it in style!

Do not overdo it. Choose 3D wallpaper to match the style of your kitchen, because otherwise they may simply get lost in the variety of elements. Level out accents intended for a particular interior style.

For example: your kitchen is designed in Provence style. Cover a blank wall with projective wallpaper with a lavender print, and add some of the same motifs to the interior. There is no need to use colorful designs on other walls or ruffled textiles. Otherwise, you will soon get bored with this design and will simply be annoying.

4.We choose with our souls!

Because the 3D wallpaper They look very catchy, the intrusive print can very quickly bore you. Therefore, when choosing such wallpaper, try to be guided by deep personal preferences. Take a meticulous look at the chosen option and think about whether you will get tired of it in two years. If not, then go ahead - buy, feel free to glue and rejoice!

Washable wallpaper for the kitchen: photo

Since wallpaper for the kitchen simply must be practical (see photo), you can opt for washable ones.

This option is great for pasting just the work area. The quality of this wallpaper allows it to be wet cleaned and not worry about spoiled appearance. Previously, the kitchen apron was laid with tiles, but modern washable wallpaper (as in the photo below) has persistent water- and grease-repellent properties. Moreover, self-adhesive wallpaper for walls that imitate tile and mosaic work is now becoming fashionable. They can be safely used to decorate a kitchen apron and can be treated with household chemicals to remove contaminants.

That's it!

There’s a new entry in my diary as an aspiring designer: I want to renovate the kitchen. So that this room really becomes the most favorite place for the whole family, so that we rush not to the TV, but here, to talk over a cup of tea. I believe that it is quite possible to bring this idea to life.

Pay attention to the quality of the wallpaper

Paint or glue? An almost Shakespearean question is probably tormenting more than just me. Painted walls, in my opinion, will look gloomy in the kitchen. Or at least too pretentious. It was as if she had come to the museum and not to drink tea. Wallpaper is a more common option for wall decoration. Plus, it's affordable and has limitless decorative potential. Modern wallpaper for the kitchen is designed to put an end to the monotony and facelessness of the walls; they help create exactly the atmosphere that the owners want to “settle” in their apartment.

So, it was decided: we will glue the wallpaper. What should you think about first?

1. Density. This is an indicator of strength and durability. Thick wallpaper has fewer barely noticeable pores, where dust and grease usually accumulate.
2. Light resistance. High-quality wallpaper should not fade in the sun or change its pattern under the influence of heat from a stove.
3. Steam and waterproof. Moisture from evaporation should dry quickly, and any dirt from the walls should be removed without effort.

Vinyl wallpaper for the kitchen is a great option

The last point especially applies to kitchens in which the work area is not equipped with a so-called “apron” - a special panel along the stove, table and sink. It is these areas that are at high risk of contamination during the cooking process. Therefore, in this case, it makes sense to use washable wallpaper for the kitchen.

These wallpapers cost from 600 rubles, and you can order them with free delivery.

They are also suitable for , which is often used for cooking. Here, small troubles in the form of stains simply cannot be avoided, so it is better to hang washable wallpaper on a non-woven base coated with vinyl. This is “heavy artillery” that will withstand temperature changes and drawing using the chocolate technique, which children often experiment with.

Vinyl wallpaper for the kitchen is simply a brilliant find. Although designers do not consider this type of wall decoration ideal, it is still the most successful. After all, they don’t absorb odors and look very impressive. No one forbids lovers of extravagant style from experimenting and using “vinyl” in two colors to visually divide the kitchen into a dining room and the hostess’s work area.

The most fashionable patterns for modern kitchens

The photo catalog, which is available in any building materials store, will help you choose the right wallpaper for the kitchen. But before you make your final choice, think about what kind of atmosphere you want to create in your kitchen. To realize my idea of ​​​​a warm room for family tea, which would truly become the heart of my home, a sophisticated decor with a floral print would be suitable.

A universal option is striped wallpaper or a simple geometric pattern. This wall decoration is in harmony with the classic and vintage style kitchen decoration. It's this, you know, cozy charm, as if you were in country house. But don't take my words literally! No, this design is not last century, but just a kind of pleasant nostalgia.

Wallpaper in dark tones with large patterns will look great in a high-tech kitchen. For example, giant circles or with intricacies of contrasting patterns. Imitation of stonework and stylish graffiti are also in fashion.

Do you want something catchy and shocking? Use photo panels or wallpaper for the kitchen with antique themes, with the effect of gilding and artistic painting. I can also recommend an urban landscape or a black and white, win-win, trendy classic.

It will be very original if you select small but eloquent details for the wallpaper. For example, I managed to find plates with the same pattern as on the wallpaper that I had already chosen for my kitchen. You can also experiment with curtains, chandelier lampshades, wall clocks, and stained glass on cabinet doors. Imagine! Good luck building your dream kitchen!

Photo catalog of wallpaper for the kitchen

Modern wallpaper collections amaze with their variety of colors, patterns and textures. To do optimal choice for a kitchen interior, you need to take a closer look at many options and take into account some nuances.

Types of wallpaper: the right choice for the kitchen

To begin with, let us recall what types of wallpaper manufacturers offer us:

• paper;
• fabric;
• natural;
• non-woven;
• vinyl;
• glass wallpaper;
• liquid.

Paper wallpaper is the most inexpensive, accessible, environmentally friendly, but short-lived and impractical. Today, such wallpapers are not even presented in catalogs in photos of modern kitchen interiors.

Fabric - they contain silk, linen or cotton. A little stronger than paper ones, but they are difficult to paste and impractical to maintain, so they are not suitable for finishing the kitchen.

Natural - consist of bamboo strips, wood shavings or dried grass stems attached to a fabric base with nylon thread or special glue. They are extremely environmentally friendly and do not accumulate dirt and dust. To preserve the natural effect, this wallpaper is not painted. But despite all its advantages, natural wallpaper is not the best option for the kitchen, as it immediately absorbs odors.

Types of moisture-resistant wallpaper for the kitchen

Non-woven wallpaper - consists of acrylic and polyester with the addition of cellulose or viscose. They are distinguished by fairly high moisture resistance, are elastic, fire-resistant, and smooth out unevenness.

Vinyl - a polymer coating applied to a non-woven base or special technical paper. Vinyl is moisture-resistant, easy to clean, can be maintained with household products, and does not fade, so it is ideal for decorating kitchen walls. Moreover, modern production offers so-called “breathable” vinyl wallpapers, which have micropores. They provide excellent air circulation, therefore they are even more moisture resistant compared to standard vinyl analogues, which eliminates the appearance of fungus and mold.

Fiberglass wallpaper - wallpaper that can be painted, gives an unusual relief. They are vapor and waterproof, durable, fireproof, and look incredibly stylish, but keep in mind that it will be very difficult to separate them from the surface of the walls.

Liquid wallpaper is a combination of adhesive, viscose, cotton, cellulose, acetate silk threads, etc. The coating is applied to the wall like plaster, which allows you to create different patterns. These wallpapers have good heat and sound insulation, they are easy to clean and have a wide range of colors.

Each option has its own pros and cons. For the kitchen, choose washable wallpaper. The optimal ones would be vinyl (compact vinyl, non-woven backing) or fiberglass.

Color, pattern, texture of wallpaper for the kitchen

IN color design kitchens need to take into account many factors - the flow of light, geometric shape room, its dimensions, etc. There are several key criteria when choosing a color for the kitchen, including wallpaper:

• a large pattern visually makes the room smaller, a small one, on the contrary, makes it more spacious;

• vertical images visually raise the ceiling, horizontal ones (especially stripes) expand the room, but reduce its height; wallpaper with geometric patterns with intersecting stripes and shapes creates the effect of continuity of space;
• wallpaper with a pronounced texture creates stunning effects due to color and the play of light and shadow;

• long and narrow kitchen light colors on long walls and dark colors on short ones will make it more organic;
• a square room is a universal option that allows you to experiment without any restrictions. But still, a more advantageous decision would be to make one wall an accent;

• when choosing the color of wallpaper for the kitchen, you need to take into account not only its dimensions, but also the location of all the windows, because the direction of light is of significant importance in interior design.

Wallpaper in a small kitchen

IN compact kitchen Canvases with contrasting and very large prints or with vertical stripes are contraindicated. This will only make the shortage problem worse. square meters– the room will seem even smaller. In this case it would be appropriate plain wallpaper in light shades or with a small, barely noticeable pattern.

If the kitchen area is combined with the dining room, you can emphasize the zoning by contrasting combinations of wallpaper, thus separating the work area from the dining area.

Harmonious combination of wallpaper in the kitchen

In modern interiors there is a clear tendency to combine different textures, textures and technologies. At the same time, the same type of wallpaper fades into the background. But here it is important to understand the principle the right combinations, and the advice of professional decorators will help with this.

Rules for combining wallpaper in the kitchen:

• adhere to a single level of price and quality - you cannot combine elite and cheap options, this looks very doubtful;
• wallpaper should not stand out from the overall style of the kitchen;

• when combining, keep in mind that the wallpaper should have approximately the same thickness, otherwise there will be problems with joining the seams and choosing the edging;
• when choosing bright panels with large drawings, the rest of the space should be monochromatic;

• floral patterns combine perfectly with wood textures, and geometric patterns with abstractions;
• bright accents look harmonious against a background of neutral tones;
• Various textures are perfectly combined - rough with smooth, glossy with matte. The main thing is that such canvases should be in the same price category and the same thickness.

Additional decor and several design techniques

Zoning techniques and “ accent wall" Also, to visually adjust the height, designers use vertical stripes and patterns, and changes in area use horizontal ones.

The technique of symmetry in the use of vertical stripes

In the center of the room, wide strips of wallpaper in contrasting colors are glued to two walls. This visually balances the length and width of the kitchen space.

Reception of asymmetry

One wall is covered with a bright stripe in the middle, and the opposite wall with similar stripes, but different in width. This technique visually expands and at the same time makes the oblong kitchen shorter.

Illusions of contours

A popular method is a combination standard wallpaper(and for painting) with a border. Typical options combinations:

• striped wallpaper with a plain bottom;
• large flowers and monograms with a plain border;
• plain or finely printed top and striped bottom;
• plain top and large bottom with a floral or other pattern.

The choice of combination depends on specific task– what needs to be balanced with what.

Accent wall

Select the kitchen wall that your eye immediately falls on. She is singled out as the most different ways– 3D wallpaper, panels, bright canvases, or decorated with additional decorative elements. In fact, this technique expresses more bright personality owners of the house.

3D wallpaper in the kitchen

Along with the usual wallpaper, designers offer a more interesting 3D collection. These are large-format beautiful drawings and patterns applied to different types of canvas bases using special technology. Such wallpapers create a three-dimensional effect and a sense of presence in the image. The 3D illusion is achieved through lens-raster plastic (a set of lenses parallel to each other, cylindrical and different calibers). As a rule, such wallpaper is used to decorate only an accent wall.

Pros and cons of 3D wallpaper

The advantages of 3D photo wallpapers certainly include:

• production of vinyl, non-woven fabrics, synthetic materials, etc.;
• such canvases do not fade and retain color for a very long time;
• environmentally friendly and completely non-toxic - high-quality Japanese paints are used in their manufacturing process;
• fireproof;
• practical to care for, easy to use with any household chemicals;
• durable;
• spectacular - they have no analogues in such realistic immersion in the image.

Obviously, the disadvantage of such wallpaper is its high cost, as well as its relevance only in large rooms.

The need to renovate a kitchen can plunge even the most resistant apartment owner into a state of stress. Firstly, the event requires a significant investment. The second point is that deciding to radically change the appearance of the kitchen space is psychologically difficult when you know about the huge amount of energy spent on it and the colossal labor costs. Kitchen renovation entails the need to correctly resolve many issues regarding the correct placement of water supply networks, household appliances, furniture. This also includes the optimal decoration of the room, where choice plays an important role. the right wallpaper not only beautiful, but suitable in texture and color scheme.

Types, their advantages and disadvantages

The kitchen air space is constantly oversaturated with moisture. Wallpaper that is not resistant to a humid atmosphere is not suitable for wall decoration. The structure should not absorb food odors, allowing hygiene care, practical. It is not recommended to cover surfaces above the work area with wallpaper; ceramic tiles and plastic panels can cope better with increased loads in the form of drops of water and grease.

Non-woven

The main component of the structure of non-woven wallpaper is fibers made from cellulose, their share is about 70%. The non-woven fabric adheres perfectly and the application process does not cause any discomfort during work. The canvases perfectly cover the walls and do not shrink. Allows you to mask minor unevenness and cracking of walls. Non-woven wallpaper is perfect for use in kitchens thanks to:

• High degree of resistance to moisture;
• Ease of cleaning;
• Long service life.

Vinyl

Vinyl is preferable to use for those who like a laconic, monochromatic wallpaper pattern in the kitchen interior. The canvas is not exposed to direct sunlight and is quite dense. Walls covered with vinyl wallpaper easily withstand numerous cleanings with a damp cloth, household chemicals, and mechanical stress. Some varieties are specifically designed for kitchen lining - the rolls are impregnated with bactericidal, antifungal compounds, mold spots do not form under them, which is an additional bonus.

The kitchen is decorated with wallpaper with a smooth, non-convex pattern. Dust particles are packed into the elements of the volumetric texture. Cleaning the room becomes more difficult; voluminous wallpaper will last much less in difficult kitchen conditions.

Acrylic

The structure of the canvas consists of two layers. The bottom layer consists of thick grades of paper. The top one is a thin acrylic film. The coating is breathable and does not retain moisture. The environmental friendliness of the materials used is important - it does not contain highly toxic benzoate compounds that cause irreparable damage to human internal organs. The disadvantage is low resistance to mechanical abrasion; the applied pattern is too delicate. They can be lightly wiped with a damp cloth without household chemicals.

Bamboo

A variety that appeared on the domestic market relatively recently, but has managed to fall in love with consumers due to its naturalness - bamboo wallpaper. In addition to its fashionable appearance, bamboo wallpaper is distinguished from others by:

• Long service life without fading or abrasion of the decorative layer;
• Good tolerance to sudden temperature changes;
• Can be used not only for gluing walls, but also ceilings;
• Naturalness, harmlessness of the raw materials used;
• Easy to clean.

The main disadvantage of such wallpaper is its high cost. This moment is leveled due to long term service - about ten years, a significant period of time more than pays for the money spent.

Cork

Made by applying bark crumbs balsa wood based on adhesive composition. On next stage unevenness of the canvas is removed using low-abrasive grinding machines, a layer of protective varnish is applied. The result is smooth glossy surface. Some models are treated with wax polishes instead of varnish; the texture of such wallpaper is very original. There are many advantages to such wallpapers:

• Easy to apply, hide uneven walls;
• Resistant to fading;
• The cork itself is a bactericidal material; fungi and mold do not grow on it;
• Dust does not settle on cork wallpaper and is easy to wash;
• They do an excellent job of soundproofing and thermal insulation of rooms;
• Very durable, able to maintain its original appearance for years;
• Fits perfectly into any interior;
• Completely environmentally friendly.

The high price of wallpaper makes you think before purchasing about the advisability of significant expenses. Despite its resistance to fading, the cork surface is quite fragile and easily peels off the wall under excessive mechanical stress.

Glass wallpaper

One of the most durable representatives of the wallpaper market. Made using fiberglass. They do an excellent job of masking minor wall imperfections without prior leveling. Prevents the formation of excess moisture and is resistant to mechanical stress. Suitable for those who like to freshen up their kitchen decor from time to time - they can withstand repeated repainting.

Combination with other materials

We are all accustomed to seeing a traditional combination of wallpaper with tiles. But there is always room for maneuver, except ceramic tiles successful combinations with textured plaster, concrete, decorative bricks, natural wood panels, painted surfaces, intricate mosaic compositions, cork inclusions. A wide selection of decorative materials allows you to come up with many interesting combinations that follow general rules:

• The principle of zoning should prevail - chaotic spots of inclusions look ridiculous;
• Balance – large drawings are complemented by small ones, pastel shades enlivened by bright colors;
• The degree of gloss of surfaces must be the same; glossy tiles cannot be combined with matte wallpaper;
• The materials used in the design must belong to the same price segment;
• The applied layers of different decorative coatings must be of the same thickness, this avoids curvature at the joints.

How to choose a color

Choosing a dominant kitchen area The color scheme of the wallpaper depends on the geographical location of the apartment, the cardinal direction to which the kitchen windows face:

White

Snow-white walls are a classic example of minimalism; the design of wallpaper for a kitchen in white colors optically lightens the space and gives it freshness. Rooms with insufficient lighting take on a brighter appearance, cramped spaces begin to seem more spacious. The use of an accent coating helps to avoid the boredom of a snow-white wall design: the wallpaper is not pasted as a solid monochromatic canvas, but is complemented with bright stripes, decorative elements, and photo wallpaper.

Beige

Nude shades can vary from almost white to dark beige; such wallpapers fit very easily into any style of decor. Beige color wallpaper is basic, suitable for the design of premises for a variety of purposes. Natural tones are neutral in nature, do not hurt the eyes, have the ability to increase vitality, and improve overall well-being. The beige color in the kitchen interior is not boring; it is more practical than white. Light tones of beige need accentuating; wallpaper of a darker color copes with the decorative task on its own, especially with an interesting pattern applied.

Brown

Wallpaper in chocolate, coffee colors - the whole range of brown colors creates a special feeling warm comfort in the kitchen, soften the overall atmosphere and have a calming effect. Comfortable for human well-being: promote relaxation, help avoid stress. Be in a room with brown walls– a great way to relax after a hectic day. The brown range is multifaceted in its effect - dark tones relax, help the psyche to rest; light - add a feeling of lightness, readiness to spread your wings, to be free.

Yellow

Most common color kitchen wallpaper- yellow. Tones, enhances communication skills, can influence digestion and increase appetite. It is thanks to its “liveness” in the bedrooms that common rooms such a joyful color is practically never used. Although the room design option is optimal for the kitchen, there is a danger of boredom; many people quickly get tired of yellow wallpaper. It is necessary to use color correctly in combination with other, calmer colors, choosing the color with extreme caution. We can recommend the yellow kitchen style to people who are confident, cheerful, and sociable. Wall decoration in yellow tones Suitable for small kitchens and shaded areas.

Black

Black cannot be called the main color of the design palette - few people will like walls that resemble a crypt. The inclusion of black wallpaper in the kitchen space in the style of minimalism, art deco, and Scandinavian style is rather diluted with the aim of:

• Emphasize the primary colors, balance the overall color scheme;
• Add high value to chrome, glossy surfaces;
• Black is able to optically distance objects; one black wall of a small kitchen makes it visually more spacious;
• Moderate use of deep black gives the interior a certain amount of glamor and makes the room elegant.

The color black also has disadvantages: excess can be oppressive, depressing, and have a bad effect on a person’s state of mind. Incorrectly used black makes surrounding objects heavier. The main thing that should make you think is a high degree of soiling; dust on black wallpaper is much more noticeable than on a snow-white background.

Grey

Perfectly suited as an element of high-tech style. Diversifies the basic range in the kitchen by diluting more intense tones: it is better to dilute a pink kitchen with gray-pink wallpaper. In principle, it goes well with almost all colors. Gray wallpaper can be used independently in well-lit rooms, giving the interior a discreet, expensive, aristocratic style.

Green

There are thousands of shades of green, from rich emerald to pastel light green. If dark tones are more appropriate in the interior of work rooms and libraries, then light colors add freshness, lightness, and an atmosphere of never-ending summer to the kitchen. They combine green decorative materials with contrasting furniture: orange, discreet gray, beige, stylish black. Greenery favorably sets off ceramic tile backsplashes, refreshes the interior, and adds special harmony to the kitchen interior.

To match the interior style

Modern

A kitchen that matches the Art Nouveau style has a varied appearance: a bright island, a restrained room in pastel colors. Furniture comes in laconic, complete forms with discreet facades, striking the imagination - wavy, round, triangular, even irregular shapes. Abundance of small decorative elements, chairs irregular shape, photographs on the walls, unusual decoration - the variety of techniques inherent in modernity requires a logical connection. Wallpaper plays a unifying role in modernity.

A good option to cross out interesting furniture, designer accessories – black and white walls with prints, checkered, striped. They should be placed only on one of the walls; the whole zebra-patterned kitchen will be tiring, oppressive, and look vulgar.

Fans of a more restrained modern design will like plain wall coverings. There is one rule for selecting plain wallpaper - if the furniture is light, the wallpaper is glued bright colors. Bright furniture itself determines the interior style; the walls are decorated in light colors.

The general modern style is not violated by wallpapers that imitate other finishing materials: decorative brick, wooden panels, masonry. This option is appropriate in a work area, around dining table. Imitation kitchen natural materials in appearance, it is closer to a loft, looks more expensive.

Do not overdo it with wallpaper of the same structure and color. Dark colors dilute with light ones. Too dark tones narrow the surrounding space.

The most common option of Art Nouveau is gluing one of the walls with photo wallpaper. It is necessary to take into account the fact that current subjects in the photo are constantly becoming outdated, so the images will have to be replaced. Make sure that the photo wallpaper can be re-glued without replacing the rest decorative covering walls

Provence

The cozy atmosphere of the French provincial style involves walls of light, light colors. Most often, wallpaper designs are laconic, delicate flowers, narrow stripes, and unobtrusive checks.

No massive geometry, no huge rhombuses covering the entire wall.

Will do decorative finishing walls with rural landscapes, images of French coffee houses. Some provincialism is added by drawings of small houses, living creatures, and various items of rural life.

Tones should be discreet, close to natural colors: beige, peach, sand shades, pale green, milky. Provence style will only benefit from artificially aged, slightly cracked walls. An imitation of a barn board would be appropriate in a dining or work area.

High tech

Catchy wallpaper colors: orange, scarlet, coral, electric blue emphasize the high-tech interior. Any bright color solutions require strict regulation. Only one accent wall is pasted; the other three should be discreet; discreet shades balance the overall atmosphere. It is better to decorate small kitchens without a bright color spot; the technique does not work; the presence of a contrasting wall makes a cramped room even smaller. Small kitchens A monochromatic design in light colors is more suitable. Large bright rooms can include dilution fabrics dark colors, the choice of plain wallpapers in deep dark colors on the domestic market is large, the same Elysium offers several collections that perfectly suit the high-tech style.

Which room in the apartment experiences the heaviest load? Of course, the kitchen. It is here that dinners are prepared, household members meet at the table, sometimes homework is done under the supervision of a busy mother, and guests are received if there is a small apartment. The kitchen is the center of the universe of every living space. And that’s why I want to make it both stylish and comfortable. When choosing finishing materials, you need to combine practicality and beautiful appearance. Now we’ll find out which wallpaper is best suited for the kitchen.

Requirements for wallpaper in the kitchen

There are several requirements for how to choose the right wallpaper for your kitchen, which you should adhere to when purchasing. This will help you purchase a material that is easy to use, more practical and durable.

Light wallpaper for the kitchen in the Provence style

Kitchen wallpaper should be washed. It is necessary! The best option(especially for small rooms) there will be those that can withstand cleaning with detergents and a brush. After all, drops of water and splashes from cooking food can fall on the walls.

Washable wallpaper matched to the pattern of the apron

Among finishing materials there are several types:

• Moisture-resistant wallpaper can withstand wiping with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water. Generally not recommended for kitchens;
• Washable ones allow you to remove dust and light dirt (not grease) with a rag or sponge applied with slightly alkaline solutions;
• Super washable ones allow for more thorough cleaning using a sponge with soapy water;
• Super-cleanable, abrasion-resistant, the most durable wallpaper that can be cleaned with a sponge and brush.

Using wallpaper in combination with tempered glass as an apron

Know! You can also purchase paintable wallpaper for the kitchen. This option will make it possible to change the color of the kitchen without big renovation. For example, non-woven wallpaper for painting is a material that is washable and breathable, and can also withstand up to 8 stains.

Painting textured wallpaper

Types of wallpaper

The choice of finishing materials today is huge. When looking for options for the kitchen, you can get confused in the assortment of Russian and foreign production, in various textures and colors. Let's first try to identify those that are not suitable for our premises, and then consider the best options. For examples of how to choose the right wallpaper for the kitchen so that it is both beautiful and practical, look at the photo.

Silk-screen printing on the wall above the kitchen work area

Among the outsiders, let's immediately include natural wallpaper made from textiles, bamboo, leaves, and so on. Do not be tempted by their environmental qualities; they will be very appropriate in other rooms, but not in the kitchen. Even with a powerful hood, their shelf life will be quite short. And such impractical properties as absorption of odors, soiling and the impossibility of cleaning will make their use in the kitchen almost impossible.

Wallpaper with a “cage” pattern in the kitchen interior

Paper wallpaper without impregnation is also not suitable for the kitchen. Their tendency to abrasion rapid pollution and fading in the sun will be the reason for another repair a short time after pasting.

Luxurious floral print kitchen wallpaper

Let us now note the materials that will be appropriate in the kitchen.

Vinyl

This is one of the best and suitable options. They consist of a microporous plastic layer applied to a non-woven or paper backing. At a relatively low price, this finishing material has all the qualities necessary for a kitchen. Thanks to a special protective layer, vinyl wallpaper does not fade, and it also prevents the adhesion of dust and dirt. And resistance to moisture and detergents allows you to care for them without fear of damage.

Vinyl wallpaper with embossed texture for the kitchen

The advantage of such wallpaper is a wide variety of colors, patterns and textured embossing. The downside is the lack of vapor permeability, which is why there is a possibility of condensation accumulating under them, which can lead to the appearance of fungus and mold.

Vinyl wallpaper is an excellent option for covering walls in the kitchen.
