Kitchen Wallpaper

If you’re scared about the permanency of wallpaper, try something less, well, permanent. There are plenty of peel-and-stick papers in trendy designs that are incredibly easy to install and remove. Hot tip: Opt for a graphic design that mimics the look of tile.

They can be large enough to house the majority of your dry goods but small enough to keep things organized while taking up a minimal amount of valuable space. Forget a walk-in and sub in counter-top cabinet or add doors to enclose pre-existing shelving.

12 Kitchen Design Trends Going Away In 2023
Kitchens are getting closed and dark
Sidekix Media on UnsplashA beautifully designed kitchen is essential for several reasons. Primarily, it is the space where we spend the most amount of time with family, cooking, eating, or even working. It's also important to keep in mind that the right kitchen can add to the resale value of a home.
While all-white and farmhouse-style kitchens have been popular for almost too many years now (blame the pandemic or supply chains for this one), homeowners, designers, and developers are finally starting to see kitchen styles evolve.
Elements that were once “must haves” have become “no mores.” Here are twelve kitchen design trends going away in 2023, according to experts and interior designers.
All-White Kitchens
All white kitchens are over
Simona Sergi on UnsplashLos Angles real estate broker Lori Levine Harris of Brock and Lori tells me, “All white everything is on its way out. For the past decade, we’ve been seeing white walls, white tile, and Carrera marble. People are tired of these muted palettes, and designers are bringing in color— which we love.”
Most designers also agree that white-on-white kitchens will look dated in 2023. So what color will be the new white? There isn’t just one answer here. Alice Arterberry and Barrett Cooke of Arterberry Cooke believe the newest kitchens will have two or three contrasting, complementary shades. “Monochromatic kitchens lack depth and visual interest. Complementary hues in a kitchen can elevate the area while still being timeless.
”
MORE FROMFORBES ADVISOR
Interior designer Kirsten Blazek of a1000xBetter sees dark wood cabinetry making a comeback. “For many years now white oak cabinets were dominating kitchen design but I think that era is ending and we are going to start seeing more saturated palettes in kitchen design. The correct darker brown cabinet is timeless and can be mixed with so many other fantastic finishes.”
Open Kitchens
Open kitchens are closed
Simona Sergi on UnsplashOpen floor plans and particularly open kitchens are controversial topics in the design world right now. While it’s a practical choice for some, many homeowners have grown tired of this design choice in a post-pandemic world. Harris’ clients have been asking to close up their kitchen walls. “Especially for families, people no longer want to see dirty dishes and boxes of cereal while they eat dinner or entertain. We have clients with open floor plans who are building walls to separate their kitchens from their dining rooms.
This more traditional style is coming back with the kitchen, dining room, and sitting room all compartmentalized. It allows you to curate a unique space.”
Matte Black Hardware
Matte black hardware is so 2022
Sidekix Media on UnspalshWhile matte black hardware was everywhere in 2022, expect to see less of it in 2023. “We have the flippers to thank for this one. Matte black hardware never really appealed to me but I do understand that for some they appreciate matte black’s minimalist nature and darker tones when opting for a more handsome look,” says interior designer Sara Weichel of Swike.
So what’s a good alternative? Weichel recommends considering oil-rubbed bronze for a more updated look. She also predicts we will see more polished nickel and chrome in the coming year.
Upper Cabinetry
Upper Cabinets are done
R ARCHITECTURE on UnsplashThe days of standard closed upper cabinets are starting to dwindle and will be replaced by open shelving.
Sapna Aggarwal of Bungalowe tells me, “Upper cabinets are going away. Beautifully styled open shelving is here to stay. Doing away with upper cabinets is a great way to save money and create an opportunity to show off your personality by creating beautifully styled vignettes.”
But doing this right also means keeping it edited and uncluttered. “Our clients are very into hiding everything from dishes to appliances. Gone are the days of ceramics and cookbooks on display —the minimal, uncluttered look is in. Cookbooks belong in the pantry and appliances are hidden by cabinetry to obtain a zen, uncluttered look,” says Harris.
Faux Finishes
Faux marble is going away in 2023
Roam in Color on Unsplash2023 is all about keeping it real in the kitchen, according to Lauren Cherkas, President and Chief Sales Officer of Artistic Tile. “Faux anything [such as quartz that looks like marble] is definitely a kitchen trend going away for the luxury consumer in 2023.
For the discerning client, natural stone for floors, countertops, and backsplash is the only way to go. It is a classic look for the kitchen that transcends trends.”
Cherkas also believes these finishes will serve homeowners better in the long run. “With its longevity, it is also a sustainable choice. With minimal maintenance, it can outlast much of the other elements in a kitchen.”
Herringbone Backsplashes
Kitchens won't look like this next year
gettyHerringbone backsplashes fell back into favor around the time herringbone flooring did a few years ago, but according to Christopher Peacock, founder and CEO of Christopher Peacock, this style’s days are numbered. “Herringbone patterns are good for a floor, but not so much for a backsplash as it can get too busy, and you need a large area to appreciate it fully.”
Carrera Marble
Carrera marble is overdone
gettyThis is another hot topic because Carrera marble, while beautiful and beloved by almost everybody, has become almost annoyingly omnipresent.
So, in 2023, we’re likely to see a lot less of it. Peacock thinks homeowners can do better. “I believe Carrera is overused and classic Carrera has changed so much now it’s hard to find a good slab. It’s not for me, unless I can find a nice piece that has a lot of white in it. There are so many white marbles, but they are super expensive, so Carrera can be good for a budget, but it’s not considered as beautiful as other white marbles out there.”
Appliances Over The Range
Move the microwave
gettyInstalling a microwave over the range has been the standard for years, but now that standard is changing. “Just say no to putting appliances over the range. Making a fabulous design feature out of the space above your range far outweighs the utilitarian trend of using that area to house an appliance. Some people might say it's a shame not to claim this upper cabinet section for added storage or for an appliance,” says Tamarra Younis of Union Of The Art Interiors.
Contemporary Aesthetics
We'll see less contemporary kitchens in 2023
gettyHGTV star and interior designer Francesca Grace of Francesca Grace Home shares organic kitchen aesthetics are beginning to look dated. “As a maximalist, I tend to stay away from neutral palettes and I think we're going to be seeing a lot more color in the kitchen in 2023. Think lots of rich colored hues, like dark greens, blacks, and blues, even merlot colored cabinets, with countertops with more character, like beautifully veined marble.”
Farmhouse-Style Kitchens
Farmhouse kitchens are finally going away
gettyLive, laugh, and love that farmhouse-style kitchens will no longer be on-trend in 2023 “We've all seen them over and over again and it's time this style gets a revamp, which can be easily done. This is a trend that has started to become basic. We want to see more character and personality in a kitchen and I think we'll be seeing a lot of that in the future,” says Grace.
Tile Backsplashes
Say bye to tile
gettyArterberry and Cooke tell me that patterned tile backsplashes are beginning to become less preferable. “Patterned or mosaic wall tile can create a busy aesthetic and look dysfunctional. Opt for a solid slab stone to match the countertops for a calm, simple look. You can also have fun with cabinetry paint colors [instead].”
Cold, Ultra Modern Designs
Cold kitchens are starting to warm up
gettyRenata Vasconez and Samantha Gallacher, co-founders IG Workshop predict cold modern elements such as glossy finishes and sharp edges will be replaced by warmer, cozier styles. “Kitchens are now cozier and warmer, designers are staying away from glossy finishes and sharp edges. We are looking at curved islands, wood tones, and interesting use of textures. Honed and leathered stones are replacing the glossy slabs, and more daring colors have been incorporated in the designs.”

Love white kitchens? An interior designer will not only tell you about their pros and cons, but will also help you choose a style.
We love writing about white kitchens as much as we love living in them. But we've always wondered why they evoke such strong feelings. To understand everything, we talked with interior designer Svetlana Roma. And learned a lot of interesting things.
Svetlana Roma, interior designer:
— I am an interior designer and founder of the boutique design studio Svetlana Roma Design.
Why boutique? And because we love and appreciate comfort, coziness and originality in the interiors. We do not have a goal to create streaming design. We believe that each interior is written for a person, his uniqueness and brand. The interior should enhance and develop talents in a person, be a powerful incentive for a successful life.
And geography is not a hindrance to us, because we work online all over the world.
I love and appreciate the warm relationship with my customers, many of them have become my friends.
Most often I can be found at a construction site, at a computer or in a hardware store. And if today I am at a computer in Kazakhstan, then tomorrow I can be at a facility in Moscow, and maybe at an exhibition in Paris.

— A white kitchen, please! And then she lived all her life with a dark wooden one, there is already no strength from this dull darkness.
This is the fourth year I have received these requests from customers and I am not at all surprised to hear another request for a white kitchen.
People are tired of bright or dark kitchen sets, white monochrome has seriously come into fashion - and that's great.
The advantages of a white kitchen are so obvious that all the disadvantages are simply, so to speak, far-fetched. And they are more likely to pass for stereotypes or misconceptions than for terrible cons that will allow you to abandon the luxury of white kitchens.
That's why I'll tell you about the cons first.
"The white kitchen is too easily soiled." This is a stereotype that has been misleading people for years! What is the result? A woman has a program in her head: white, which means easily soiled, and she begins to notice even the slightest pollution on the surface. And the more it focuses on this, the more the subconscious exaggerates the true extent of pollution. But in fact, a more easily soiled surface than black gloss is difficult to find.
Just a white kitchen is more of a litmus test of the cleanliness of the hostess. And this is good, because the hostess will strive to restore order in the kitchen every day.
And here the pleasant advantages of the white kitchen begin. The first is cleanliness, and we know that cleanliness is the basis of a beautiful interior.
In addition, it is commonly believed that white color visually enlarges the space. I will not delve into the science of color science, I will only say that white enhances the brightness of sunlight, as it were, multiplies it and scatters it. That is why a person perceives white rooms as brighter, but not large. And in a bright room you always feel positive. And this is a huge advantage for residents of the northern regions, where sunny days are rare.
In addition, white, like black, is a universal color. This means that you can pick up a burgundy or blue carpet for a white kitchen and not suffer from the pangs of choice. White goes well with any color.
15 reasons to choose white shelves for your home
Loft style apartment with white brick walls, pallet furniture and barn doors
Svetlana Roma, interior designer:
- Just don't go overboard with complementary colors. Three colors per room is enough. Otherwise, you risk getting a big top instead of a “clean” white kitchen. It is better to choose white and gray as the main one, and add one contrasting one to it: wine, plum, aqua, and so on.
instagram.com/svetlana_roma/
I hasten to please you: interior fashion is too lazy for a quick change of favorites. She can follow the same trend for decades. So with the white kitchen - this is love for many, many years. The question is whether the kitchen will change its forms, decor and designs. Here the answer is unequivocal: yes!
For example, this fashionable Scandinavian style and laconic trend can be replaced by maximalism and classics.
And now the white and even Scandinavian facades will be replaced by intricately carved wooden ones, but certainly in the same white color. The example, of course, is exaggerated, but you understand the principle. The main trend does not go out of fashion for a long time, only its design changes.
So I'm in a hurry to please lovers of Hygge, Scandi and eco style. This trend will last for a very long time, so feel free to plan a white kitchen for yourself and declare your impeccable taste to everyone around.
The question is ambiguous, but nevertheless I hear it too often. First you need to understand which style is closer to you in principle. At the same time, remember the rule: classic and modern mix so well that it is not necessary to choose one.
I will give an example, and you try to draw such a picture in your head. This is a very useful exercise to see if you can be in such a kitchen every day and if this is your style.
So, a white laconic kitchen with smooth and glossy facades, with a hidden opening system (that is, without handles), a worktop and kitchen backsplash with an imitation of a flat concrete surface, light gray.
Steel modern hood. On the floor, a dark chocolate-colored parquet is laid in a herringbone pattern. The dining table, wooden and antique, looks like it was inherited from my grandmother. Around it are Ghost chairs from by Philippe Starck, and a massive crystal chandelier crowns this whole interior.
Such an interior will be the golden mean for those who experience throwing between classic and modern style.
In all other cases, you can choose one thing. Both the modern minimalism of Scandinavia and the good traditions of the classics will be held in high esteem by people who appreciate a sense of style for a long time to come. But what unites them now is the powerful magic of white.

Pros and cons of a white kitchen set - design, shades and materials
The use of white as the main color in the interior is considered a sign of good taste.
He is rarely chosen for kitchens, but he received an undeserved place in the outsider team.
White is an aristocratic, elegant, sophisticated and graceful color that can transform your kitchen and make it a truly cozy place where the whole family will enjoy spending time.
Why a white kitchen?
In psychology, white symbolizes purity, purity, joy and virtue. According to a different interpretation, it can personify emptiness, since this color absorbs and neutralizes other shades. If you look, then even referring to the colors of white would be wrong. It is like a great concentration of blinding light into which all shades merge. According to the classic additive color model (RGB), when red, blue, and green rays intersect, it really turns out to be white. For most people, it is associated with cold, but this is not a pleasant refreshing coolness of blue or blue, but the boundless emptiness of the realm of snow. White calms, but with a long stay in a completely white room, a person begins to experience “color hunger”.
The snow-white interior is depressing and seems too sterile.
White in the interior has the same problem as the other two achromatic colors - it needs active companion shades that will help to achieve harmony. White color in the design of the kitchen looks noble and elegant. Such an interior will never become outdated and will not go out of fashion. A white kitchen is associated with cleanliness, so even the usual household chores in it will not seem like a routine task. It inspires culinary exploits and cleaning, has a beneficial effect on the appetite and calms the nerves.
The advantages of such furniture
White kitchens have a number of advantages that make them even more attractive:
- This color is considered a classic that never goes out of style. Yesterday olive, mint, coral were popular, and today terracotta, sepia, khaki, celadon have become trends. White remains relevant regardless of time.
- White kitchens are a compromise between the classics and the main modern trend - minimalism.
- Color visually makes the space bigger. It will give the interior a light touch of airiness. This color scheme is universal and suitable for both spacious and cramped kitchens.
- White is one of the three achromatic neutral colors, so it can be combined with any shades, just like black with gray. The only thing to consider is the number of colors in the interior. There are specially developed principles for combining shades, which must be followed.
- It is easy to choose kitchen utensils for such a kitchen, as manufacturers also prefer this particular color.
Disadvantages of a white kitchen - are they so terrible?
Most of the disadvantages of a white kitchen are far-fetched. They are talked about so much that they start to seem like a real disaster. The first and most obvious disadvantage is that the white kitchen is too easily soiled. The smallest dirt is noticeable on it, so it will take almost more time to clean it than to use it directly.
However, excessive soiling is a myth that turned out to be surprisingly tenacious. The more people talk about it, the more often the hostess begins to pay attention to the smallest pollution that is in the kitchen of absolutely any color. Gradually, they take on a hypertrophied look and seem like a real disaster! To debunk this myth, it is enough to try to spend at least a day in the kitchen, where the facades of the headset are covered with black gloss, and the apron is made of stainless steel. Furniture made from such materials is a problem for the hostess, who cannot even touch them with her finger without consequences in the form of prints.
Here another drawback of the white kitchen appears - when contrasting with other colors on dark surfaces, the slightest defects and dirt become more noticeable. Simply put, dust on a black countertop in combination with dark facades is not as noticeable as when combined with a snow-white finish.
And, finally, the third disadvantage of such a kitchen is the possibility of discoloration and yellowing.
This minus can only appear in cases where a poor-quality white coating is used.
Popular materials and style solutions
A win-win option for the interior of any room is a combination of three colors, of which only one can be active. White in the design provides a unique opportunity to increase the number of companion shades to five. Complementary colors in this case do not overload the space. Universal white is suitable for any stylistic decisions. Carelessly painted solid wood facades with subsequent brushing are optimally combined with the Provence style.
Acrylic, plastic and enamel have replaced artificially aged surfaces in modern interiors. Glossy white coatings are perfect for interiors decorated in Scandinavian style, according to the principles of minimalism or modernity. Models in which white is combined with active colors have gained great popularity. The facades of the headset, countertop and apron are designed according to the principle of contrast: kitchen "Amelie", "Alice", "Domino".
White blends seamlessly with modern classics and even with loft-style interiors that it ennobles.
Rules for cleaning a white kitchen
Caring for a white kitchen will not turn into hard labor if you follow simple rules that will make life easier for the hostess:
- Use express cleaning. If sauce spills on a snow-white countertop, then wipe the stain immediately, and do not wait until it dries and turns into a blot that is scrubbed off with great difficulty.
- The headset must have a powerful hood, which will promptly remove fumes and grease particles from the air, preventing them from settling on the surface of the furniture.
- Do not choose textured surfaces for the headset. A smooth finish is easier to clean.
- Set up a cleaning schedule and follow that schedule.
- When cleaning, use not only ready-made household chemicals, but also compositions prepared by yourself. A thick paste of vinegar and soda will quickly get rid of dirt on a snow-white stove or in tile joints on a kitchen backsplash.
