Creative Wallpaper Ideas for your Kitchen

The kitchen often becomes a neglected space whenever renovation of your home interiors happens. In terms of wall decor and colours, no one really pays much attention to this cooking room. But wallpapers are a great way to add colour and energy to your kitchen walls. Adding texture to the walls can make your kitchen look lively and more open.

Kitchens are typically a high-mess zone. Grease marks or cooking stains can damage the walls. Thus, always remember to use washable wallpapers in your kitchen area. Vinyl wallpapers have the most durable and water-resistant properties for this.

Here are a few helpful ideas for your kitchen wallpaper.

Make it a theme

Set a theme and cover the entire kitchen with wallpaper. You can create a brand new world on these walls. Imagine people are lining up by the sea shore and fishermen boats are sailing in the backdrop. Such thematic wallpaper helps to loosen up the sharp and crisp vibe of your kitchen. You can go for a nostalgic vibe with vintage-roused, watercolour-impact kitchen wallpaper and some basic white-painted wooden furnishings.

Outside your boring box

For an open arrangement kitchen, you can characterize separate zones with different wallpaper designs. Broadly, they can be classified as the preparation zone, feasting zone and the dry area. Wallpapers can help to demarcate each space, but at the same time, keep it together in a harmony. Wallpapers provide a visual concentration to the room, removing your eye from the mechanical gadgetry. To make the kitchen stand out, consider using vivacious and fun wallpaper styles here than in the rest of the room.

Go for a strong pattern

Wallpapers keep a kitchen from being too mainstream and clinical. They are used to make the space more colourful, relaxed and brighter. It softens the functional purpose of the room. Kitchen wallpaper can also be used to make a visual focal point. Capture all attention by using a striking shade of colour or some dramatic pattern. White fittings and appliances can be used in the kitchen to maintain the attention on the wallpaper print; or you can go for a colour-coordinated theme with fittings and appliances that match your wallpaper. Putting up wallpaper in a wet or cooking region should have a strategic distance unless it is secured behind glass or acrylic. But, a strong backdrop at the cooking counter does earn you brownie points for impressive decor.

Faking the style

Wallpapers aren’t just about patterns and colours. You can also achieve a subdued naturalistic style with faux textured wallpapers. One can choose between exposed brick work style, marbled patterns, mosaic effect, and wooden finishing. These wallpapers are very fashionable and chic to look at. They bring about an industrial edge to your space.

A little pop-up 

Wallpapers can also be used to create a striking impact in different ways. Put up kitchen wallpaper on the back of your cupboard or where your gas oven is put or may be behind the microwave. This can bring a new glow to not only the prop but the entire kitchen will mirror a classy yet modern approach of your design sense.
