In addition, vinyl wallpaper is easy to paste, they do not stretch and do not burst like paper, but serve for a long time.

Wallpaper based on canvas fabric, banana leaves, grass and other natural materials with a laminated surface are also easy to clean and do not require perfect wall alignment before gluing. They are able to bring a piece of nature to any kitchen, but are not cheap, and gluing them is quite a complicated process.

Fine contamination conceals a wallpaper structure that looks like a cork, a tiny cell or a rippled surface. Also for this purpose, not too bright wallpaper, multi-color or with a fine pattern is good.




Style and color

The choice of wallpaper, first of all, should be based on the general style of the kitchen and, in particular, the kitchen set, as the most expensive and massive part of it. The color of the wallpaper should not argue with the texture of the facades of kitchen furniture. For monophonic facades or with a mild wood structure, almost any wallpaper is suitable, for facades with an expressive pattern, like a zeban, it is better to dwell on more restrained drawings of wallpaper. For the kitchen in the classical style, the wallpaper will suit calm colors, with floral ornaments or elegant patterns.

 In the kitchens in the Art Nouveau style it is possible to show imagination and choose wallpaper with an expressive pattern, for example in a bright strip, with large geometric patterns or with an unusual texture that will give it even more relevance.

For a kitchen with windows facing west, it is better to choose wallpaper warm shades: yellow, orange, light green, - that in the morning a feeling of fullness with sunlight was created. Small kitchens are better covered with light wallpaper, monophonic or with small geometric or floral patterns.

If your kitchen is open plan, and it is part of the hall or corridor, make sure that the wallpaper in both rooms are combined. This does not mean that they should be the same color or pattern, but the colors should be in harmony with each other. If in one zone on the wallpaper a large and expressive pattern, then in the other it is better to stop on a monophonic wallpaper or unobtrusive pattern.
