It is impossible to imagine the interior design of an apartment or a house without an original and beautiful wall decoration. To date, there are many options for practical, stylish wallpaper for the kitchen room to choose from. What wallpaper is suitable for the kitchen, only the designer can advise you.

Which types should not be chosen for the kitchen

Paper wallpapers are not suitable for the kitchen room, because they fade quickly, absorb various odors, they are not moisture resistant, they cannot be cleaned or washed. After 2-3 years, the finish needs to be changed. Bamboo, cork are an exception. Acrylic wallpaper with a relief image is often deformed, they can become covered with dust.

In the event that the kitchen and living room are combined in the room, you can stick paper wallpapers in the living and dining area, and the kitchen area can be finished with decorative plaster, moisture-resistant products with an original pattern or shade.

How to choose the color of wallpaper for the kitchen

When choosing the color of the wallpaper cover, you need to follow the basic rules:

  1. You can use a maximum of three tones, one of which is dominant, the second is adjacent to the main one, and the third should be very small.
  2. You also need to start from the dimensions of the kitchen room: stick a light coating in a small room, and a dark one in a spacious one.
  3. The personal preferences of family members cannot be ignored: the colors of the wallpaper should create coziness, a comfortable psychological atmosphere for each of them. Monochrome, neutral tones are universal.
  4. The color palette depends on the style of the kitchen. If it is a Scandinavian style, cold tones are acceptable, and if it is classic, then warm, but calm. Hi-tech "loves" a dark, deep palette that creates a contrast with the light one. Provence is a small ornament and a general light background.

When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen (photo below), you can focus on popular colors.

White

White - universal. It is suitable for any color of kitchen set, textiles, flooring. White visually enlarges the space, but it is rarely used in its pure form. A popular technique is to combine several cold or warm tones of white, such as baked milk, creme brulee, champagne. If you have not found a material of such color, it can be dyed. Pure white colors are best used when combined with metallic accents (bronze, brass parts of appliances or furniture fittings).

Gray

Gray wallpaper for the kitchen is good because it has many shades and degrees of saturation. Mixes are especially popular: gray-brown, gray-blue, sand gray. This color scheme is suitable for both small and spacious kitchens. Gray is a great backdrop for any typeface. The nuance of using this tone is that it requires support by accents.

Yellow

Yellow replaces the previously popular beige. A bright yellow wallpaper will serve as an accent to a neutral-colored kitchen set if it is pasted on one of the walls. When decorating all the walls of the room, it is recommended to use muted yellow with the whole palette of its shades.

Blue and sky blue

Dark blue gives nobility to the interior, especially when combined with gold, white, orange. Blue wallpapers are well suited to a headset with wood-like facades, softening the coldness of their shade. But they are best used in well-lit rooms. Gray-blue shade will add a touch of freshness to the interior. It goes well with pastel colors.

Black

The growing popularity of the loft style has made black a common wall color scheme. In the kitchen, wallpaper is often used not in pure black, but in graphite or anthracite color when creating an accent on the wall with a set or highlighting the dining area.

Green

Toxic green wall covering is no longer used in the kitchen. It was replaced by “faded” shades (for example, yellow-green, light green). They go well with cold and warm palettes (gray, terracotta, white, lilac).

Interior style

We invite you to familiarize yourself with various interior styles and wallpaper options for them.

Classic style

If you want to decorate the room in a fashionable classic style, then you can choose wallpaper with elegant stripes, checks, beautiful floral ornaments, patterns. In classic versions, you can find a large selection of palettes of delicate pastel or dark shades. Photo wallpapers with imitation of historical frescoes, with a pattern of architectural elements in the form of columns, a border are also perfect for decoration.

Provence and country

Colorful wallpaper for the kitchen, the photo of which you can see below, is perfect for Provence and country style decoration. To do this, light-colored wall coverings with a romantic, floral, sophisticated print are selected. Manufacturers offer products with an elegant pattern, natural notes (leaves, branches, butterflies).

Wallpaper for the kitchen in a country-style interior with floral prints, checks, patterns of berries, vegetables, fruits will look great indoors. Basically, these are natural shades (beige, sand, wheat, green, olive, blue, mustard). Products with imitation matting, canvas, wood look stylish and attractive.

Tips from the designer

One of the important rules of kitchen design of any size is the lack of oversaturation of the interior of the room. It is recommended to focus on walls or furniture. Bright shades of products require simple, concise kitchen facades. For furniture with an interesting design, you can choose calm, delicate shades. When choosing wall decoration for furniture and textiles, you should pay attention not only to the shade, but also to the entire interior of the room.

Wallpaper combination

Kitchen wallpapers in interior design can be chosen in such a way that they harmonize with furniture and household appliances. Vertical stripes increase the space of the room. The transverse strip helps to "expand" the walls. For striped walls, you can choose options with a calm image, where the shades gently blend into each other.

When combining two types of products, it is recommended to select wallpapers from the same range. In the event that the windows of the room face north or west, warm colors (yellow, cream, peach, apricot, orange, brown) will do. If to the south, then blue, light green, blue, silver products are best suited. Wallpaper in the interior for the kitchen, photos of which you can find in our article, will look great if combined with various textures and shades.

Combining wallpaper in the kitchen helps eliminate damage to the walls, ceiling, disproportionate ratio of room dimensions. The combination by the method of alternating stripes will help to “raise” the overhanging ceiling, to make it more proportional.

Wall mural for interiors

Wall mural is a unique and versatile way to decorate and transform a kitchen. Photo wallpapers for the kitchen most often contain fruit and berry motifs. Large images are not recommended to be glued to the entire wall, because the room will look smaller than it actually is. It is recommended to use the panel in the working area of ​​the kitchen. Other walls are best glued with plain products.

Wall murals for the kitchen have the following advantages:

Photowall-paper which is stylized as painting looks realistic and effective. Textured models that resemble stone, brickwork in the loft and country style will emphasize the style of the room.

The best choice for a small kitchen

An original option for a small kitchen is a plain wallpaper of beige, cream, golden color with an interesting texture, a small image. A large drawing visually reduces the space of the room.

A narrow strip in a small kitchen will look more spectacular than a wide one. It should be remembered that the strip can make a small kitchen look smaller, so it is recommended to limit yourself to only one accent on the wall. Cool shades increase the space, while warm ones “warm” it. The smaller the dimensions of the room, the more refined the color scheme should be. The interior is designed in the same style, because a large number of furniture sets and elements decor in the room is unacceptable here.

The style should be simple and concise:

The use of a zone combination helps to solve two problems at once: to separate the working and dining areas; change proportions.

When decorating the kitchen, it is recommended to choose bright colors. Delicate pastel colors do not contribute to the appearance of appetite, they have a relaxing effect on a person.

The kitchen differs from other rooms in difficult operating conditions: humidity, high temperatures, steam, splashes of grease. Therefore, wallpapers are selected taking into account so that they can be washed, wiped, painted and not changed for a long time.

Of all the types of wallpaper listed above, you can easily choose the most suitable version of the product as a finish for your kitchen space, regardless of its area.

70 photos, tips on how to choose - Design Ideas

Wallpaper is one of the most affordable finishes suitable for the kitchen. A wide variety of textures and patterns makes it possible to choose the perfect option for any style. What you should pay attention to before buying wallpaper and how to make a delightful interior with them will be described below.

Types of wallpaper, their advantages and disadvantages

Since the kitchen, along with the bathroom, is one of the most humid rooms in the house, it is better to choose wallpapers that are resistant to such a microclimate for its decoration.

So, for example, inexpensive paper ones will quickly lose their aesthetic appearance and in a year, or even earlier, the repair will have to be done again. Periodic exposure to water vapor also has a very negative effect on textiles - it can stretch, sag, shed, become stained.

Vinyl, non-woven, acrylic, bamboo, cork and fiberglass wallpapers, however, will perfectly cope with the function of a beautiful and durable wall covering for the kitchen.

Vinyl wallpaper for the kitchen

The main drawback of polyvinyl, which is its inability to pass air and moisture, in the kitchen turns into a solid advantage. The only exception is, perhaps, only wallpaper with a foamed top layer, in the micropores of which water can collect. At the same time, vinyl coverings with a smooth surface or hot stamping resembling mother-of-pearl embroidery (silk-screen printing) can be washed even with a wet sponge with the addition of some neutral detergent.

Non-woven wallpaper for the kitchen

This wallpaper is a flexible sheet of cellulose. Usually they are used for painting, but there are also colored ones. For better protection against moisture, it is desirable to use latex or acrylic paint. In order not to spoil the embossed relief, this type of wallpaper should be repainted no more than 3-5 times during the entire period of operation. The advantage of non-woven fabric is its environmental friendliness, and the disadvantage is the ability to absorb moisture (less than paper).

Acrylic wallpaper for the kitchen

In composition, this material is similar to vinyl, but in this case, the surface substance is applied to the paper or non-woven base using a dot method, leaving micropores for air. Acrylic wallpapers weigh about half as much as polyvinyl, so they are easier to glue, but moisture resistance and durability leave much to be desired.

Bamboo wallpaper for the kitchen

Bamboo wood is distinguished by its ability to repel water, and besides, it looks very beautiful. Natural wallpaper in warm straw shades will create a comfortable homely atmosphere in the kitchen. In addition to the high price, there are no disadvantages of this type of finish.

Cork wallpaper for the kitchen

Another eco-friendly and original material for wall decoration in the kitchen - cork in rolls. Moisture resistance, durability, resistance to mechanical damage, the ability to hide wall irregularities, unique texture - this is not the whole list of advantages of such wallpapers. By the way, denser cork textures are also suitable for floor decoration.

Kitchen cullet

A flexible translucent glass filament sheet is ideal for those who appreciate simplicity and reliability. Smooth or with a barely noticeable relief, cullet will “tightly” stick to the walls for at least 30 years, during which time they can be repainted up to 20 times. Made entirely from natural raw materials (sand-quartz, soda, clay), they allow moisture and air to pass through, while they do not get wet, do not absorb odors, and mold or stains do not appear on them.

A nice bonus - glass wall paper protects the plaster from cracks and perfectly hides all surface imperfections.

It's all about style!

Each direction in design is characterized by a certain set of colors, textures, and decorative details. Wallpaper, on the other hand, acts as a kind of background, which is simply obliged to harmonize with the general idea, emphasize the beauty of all the details in the kitchen setting and combine them into a single ensemble.

Wallpaper for the kitchen in Provence style

Interior in Provence style includes delicate pastel shades: lavender, eggshell color, light gray, bleached pink, greenish and light turquoise. The relaxed atmosphere of southeastern France will help to create floral prints, small non-contrasting checks, polka dots.

In a rustic, simple and romantic kitchen, wallpaper with images of birds and animals, country household items (watering cans, flower pots, bicycles, baskets, clocks, lace) as if drawn with a slate pencil on kraft paper will be appropriate. If you need a wooden texture, then it should be an imitation of lightly painted and fairly worn boards.

Contemporary style kitchen wallpaper

If you see a clear and concise design, then it is most likely modern. To maintain the interior of the kitchen in a modern style, it is advisable to paste over the walls with plain wallpaper in discreet colors: white, gray, black, beige or light blue.

Photowall-paper, low-key monochrome drawings, alternation of glossy and opaque textures, effect of the polished stone, wood, metallic shine are also acceptable.

Classic style kitchen wallpaper

Silk-screened vinyl wallpaper is perfect for a classic kitchen. Mother-of-pearl patterns, shimmering silver and gold will create a unique harmony between the walls, appliances and facades of the suite.

To give the interior more luxury, the finish can be completed with decorative columns, skirting boards, frames or cornices in the form of plaster moldings.

Nordic kitchen wallpaper

Cool freshness of the Nordic design is provided by the walls, the colors and textures of which are designed in the palette of the winter landscapes of Norway, Sweden or Denmark. It can be the sparkling purity of virgin snows, the mysterious depth of lakes and rivers, the smoky airiness of the sky, the mystical play of sunset.

Add some warm notes to your kitchen with bleached oak textures, coarse wool knits, and dark red ethnic patterns on a linen background.

High-tech kitchen wallpaper

High-tech kitchen wallpaper available in white, grey, black, blue or coffee colours. They must be uniform and glossy. In extreme cases, it is possible to imitate iridescent mosaic tiles, silicate brickwork, wood polished to a shine.

How to choose the color of wallpaper

The color of the walls has a great influence on the overall atmosphere of the kitchen. To make it pleasant for the whole family to gather at the dining table, it is very important to choose the right most favorite and cozy shades.

White wallpaper for the kitchen

Snow white and similar pastel colors of the wallpaper are the perfect backdrop for any additions. Such walls will make the kitchen more spacious, and any contrasting patterns and bright furniture will look as advantageous as possible.

Gray wallpaper for the kitchen

Shades of steel, stones, silver, chromed metal, mirrors - with such a rich spectrum, gray can be a real find for the designer. A simple combination of textures with different saturations results in a laconic functional interior. If desired, it can always be diversified with bright details and additions.

Black wallpaper for the kitchen

Black wallpaper in the kitchen is a bold and eccentric solution. However, if you combine them with a white or steel set and make the right lighting, you get a very interesting interior without the effect of reducing the area.

Brown wallpaper for the kitchen

Natural shades from dark chestnut to beige, including the whole wood palette - the best choice for those who do not chase fashion, but prefer cozy classics.

Unlike cold achromatic colors, brown always brings some warmth. Solid or printed wallpaper in the form of a wooden, bamboo wall, with painted autumn leaves, coffee beans, simple lines or in an English cage - this color will always remind you of something calm, of home and family.

Yellow wallpaper for the kitchen

The color of the sun and tropical fruits is the most cheerful option for decorating a kitchen. It improves mood, invigorates and warms. The brightness of yellow can be adjusted from delicate sandy to rich orange.

Yellow wallpapers are in perfect harmony with white, green, gray, black and purple shades. In this case, it is better to select bright colors of the same level of saturation.

Green wallpaper for the kitchen

Walls with wallpaper in emerald, light green, mint shades will be the best frame for a wooden, orange or gray kitchen set.

Green is subconsciously perceived as the safest color, because it symbolizes life itself and the prosperous abundance of the warm season. It combines the warmth of the sun's rays and the coolness of the spring breeze, so the shades of herbs are wonderfully suited for both hot southern and cold northern rooms.

Wallpaper for a small kitchen / kitchen in Khrushchev

To make a small kitchen in Khrushchev appear more spacious, when choosing wallpaper, you should give preference to light, plain coatings. Drawings should be small, without contrasts. Gloss, mother-of-pearl and golden-silver reflections will not be superfluous.

Vertical lines will help to visually raise the ceiling, but for this it is not necessary to buy striped wallpaper. It is better to simply combine plain and patterned rolls of similar shades, placing them from the floor to the top of the wall.

Add missing volume with panoramic or 3D wallpaper with beautiful distant views and sunlight effect.

Wallpaper for the kitchen-living room

In studio apartments, where the kitchen is combined with the living room, wall decoration will help to beautifully zone the space.

So, on the cooking area, imitation of tiles, stone, brickwork will be appropriate, and the guest part will be decorated with more elegant wallpapers, for example, with silk-screen printing, unusual photo panoramas or even exclusive freehand drawings.
