In this article, we'll show you how to find quality modern wallpaper for the kitchen, we will show the ideas of successful design and combination in the photo real interiors, as well as new items from this year's fashion collections.

In a room where people often cook and eat, stains can easily appear on the walls. Therefore, the requirements for kitchen wallpaper are much greater than for finishing for the bedroom and living room.

These are the most important properties.

1. Moisture resistance and wear resistance. Washable dense wallpaper (best of all - vinyl on a non-woven basis, as in the photo below) is considered the most suitable for pasting the walls of the kitchen. Depending on the manufacturing method, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth, wash them with a mild soapy sponge (super-washable hot-stamped vinyl), and some can be cleaned with a soft brush (labeled “abrasion-resistant”).

2. Lightfastness. If the window is large and faces south or east, look at the color fastness of the wallpaper to ultraviolet light. This is especially important for dark and bright coatings: they fade and fade faster.

3. Docking the picture. Some finishes can be glued without displacing the sheets. With a complex ornament, you will have to tinker with trimming and adjusting the pattern to the height specified by the manufacturer.

In the store, be sure to check each roll: lot number on labels must be the same... The same wallpaper from different batches sometimes differs markedly in tone. This can ruin the interior. Keep the label until the end of the repair in case you need to buy additional materials.

4 types of washable kitchen wallpaper

1. Vinyl

Beautiful, durable, waterproof and affordable. Strictly speaking, most of the wallpapers in stores (both with a picture and for painting) belong to this category. In the photos below, we have collected examples from the catalogs of the Erismann and Palitra factories this year.

Even if your renovation budget is limited, take vinyl wallpapers non-woven... The overpayment will pay off in convenience. They are easily smoothed out, better conceal irregularities, do not bubble, do not stretch when wet. Instead of reverse side canvases glue is applied to the surface of the wall, as a result, the gluing process is easier and faster.

Different types of wallpaper differ in the technology of applying the top layer. It's better to glue in the kitchen hot stamping vinyl called compact vinyl, heavy vinyl or silkscreen.

Many fear the vinyl finish does not breathe. This is only true for the cheapest coatings. Higher quality ones have micropores that allow air to pass through and evaporate moisture. To be sure to avoid the appearance of mold, treat the walls with an antifungal compound before pasting.

Price: from 400 rubles.

2. Non-woven

Poesia (Erismann, Russia)

Non-woven material is a “breathable” material made from compressed cellulose fibers. It not only serves as the basis for other types of finishes, but is also used as an independent wall covering.

Non-woven wallpapers have the same benefits as vinyl wallpapers, and many design options, including embossed monochromatic paintable ones. If you want to quickly freshen up the interior, just repaint the walls.

But there is also a significant drawback. In Russian stores, this type of finish is presented mainly by foreign manufacturers. Therefore, in terms of cost, they lose to budget wallpaper for the kitchen of domestic production.

Price: from 2000 rubles.

3. Glass fiber and fiberglass

Wall decoration with strong, durable, fire-resistant paintable glass wallpaper is great for wet rooms. They can repaint 10-15 times without compromising the appearance and surface relief.

There are two types of fiberglass wallpaper. Using "Cobweb" and fiberglass, you will get a smooth, even surface, mask cracks and prevent new ones. Dense with a relief will give the painted walls a beautiful texture.

Price: from 1000 rubles. (per roll 1 meter wide)

4. Waterproof photo wallpaper

With 3D wallpaper with photo printing, you will visually enlarge the space of a small kitchen. Panoramic images with perspective (city views, landscapes, imitation of a window) and optical illusions will help you achieve the desired effect.

Avoid paper wallpapers, even those that are moisture resistant. They will quickly fade, stain, and become saturated with culinary aromas. The paper can neither be washed nor cleaned. After 2-3 years, you will have to do cosmetic repairs again.

Looking for the right color and pattern

With the help of finishing, it is easy to correct the imperfections in the geometry of the space, visually divide it into zones and add coziness to even the darkest room. In this section, you will find out which wallpapers are best suited for the kitchen by color, how to choose a pattern and glue combined canvases.

1. The main rule is not to overload the interior. Focus on either the walls or furniture. Bright facades require a monochromatic finish, preferably light colors. Neutral white, beige, gray kitchen set looks advantageous against the background of wallpaper with flowers, geometric or abstract patterns, a surface like brick, concrete, textured plaster.
2. A vertically oriented pattern (not necessarily stripes) will raise the low ceiling... The horizontal lines will make the room lower, but the walls will be "pushed apart".
3. If the window faces north / west, take a closer look at warm colors: yellow, cream, green, peach, apricot, orange, coral, light brown. When the windows face south, it is better to choose gray, blue, blue-green, blue, silver.

Zoning the kitchen with combined wallpaper

Different coatings are often used to visually distinguish dining area with table and chairs, and in the combined kitchen-living room - part of the wall behind the sofa.

Use a popular trick: paste over the accent wall wallpaper with a pattern or a bright, contrasting color. Leave the rest plain or with a neutral background finish.

Another good solution is decorate part of the wall with patterned inserts: horizontal / vertical stripes or panels. The joints between the canvases are well masked by moldings.

Examples of how you can combine two types of wallpaper in the design of the kitchen and dining room, see the photo in the selection below.

Green - the result is an interior that is close in spirit to eco-style or country style. In such a kitchen, abundance is appropriate indoor plants and floral patterns.

Important: If you have a beige kitchen, avoid cold luminescent light. It will make the interior look dirty. The same applies to technology - a beige refrigerator and stove against the background of a beige headset is too much. It is better to choose a metallic color technique.

For white headset

You can pair with light green facades to pick up wallpaper in the color of moss or olives. But be sure to balance the pair with splashes of white. Light green furniture will look organic against the background of light, natural shades: brown, pink, blue, sand. Light green categorically does not accept the neighborhood with lilac and purple.

Gray or "wet asphalt" color wallpaper is appropriate in a modern interior. Combines well with the metallic sheen of kitchen appliances. But the interior requires bright lighting.

Blue wallpapers will dilute the interior with colors, and blue ones will add softness and tenderness to the black and white kitchen. Yellow wallpaper looks good in combination with a black and white set, if the yellow is more reminiscent of the color of dull gold.

For yellow furniture

Yellow for a kitchen set is very insidious in terms of psychological impact.

The brighter the shade of yellow, the more sunshine and joy in your kitchen. But an overabundance of yellow surfaces causes fatigue and irritation.

Neutral shades are considered optimal - golden, sand, mustard, gray-yellow. Juicy, acidic shades of yellow are appropriate for modern kitchen... For the classics, it is better to choose muted tones. Tip: if you like several shades of yellow, always choose the one that is lighter.

Yellow furniture goes well with white, milky, green (any shades), blue, pink wallpaper. Golden yellow plus red is a great pair for an oriental look.

If the furniture is cornflower blue, match it with wallpaper in a sunny yellow or straw shade. This color pair is reminiscent of summer, a flower field, a sunny sky and is perfect for the embodiment of country style.

The combination of blue furniture and gray walls- an option for a spacious kitchen in a modern style. But such an interior definitely requires bright lighting. And don't forget about the tonality of the color - the same cold shades of gray suit the cold blue.

For purple and lilac furniture

Purple is perhaps the most controversial color in the palette, as it combines the coldness of blue and the fiery red. It is usually believed that purple is not the best choice for arranging a kitchen.

But this color has so many shades that, for sure, there is one that will appeal to you. Choose: lilac, violet, lavender, plum, blackberry, amethyst.

Intense purple is a chameleon color. Depending on the background, it can change its tone.

So, purple facades against the background of red walls will appear purple, and against the background of blue wallpaper they will acquire an indigo shade.

In any case, these combinations require a splash of white (to balance the contrast) and bright kitchen lighting.

Various shades of purple are combined with different colors:

• Green, blue, light yellow, cream wallpapers are well suited for lilac kitchens.
• Mauve facades look most advantageous against a background of emerald green or white walls.
• Combining purple headset with white or light gray walls- a win-win. The interior turns out to be rich, but not dark. You can add black as a decoration.

• Want to add romance? Choose a wallpaper with a light background and discreet patterns of lilac and pink flowers.

For modern style you can choose wallpaper with stripes of white and lilac... But such a bright wallpaper is best used for accent wall, leaving the general background of the walls light.

For black headset

Black furniture always looks luxurious. But the abundance of black surfaces can cause a depressing mood, especially if the facades of the headset are made in matte shades.

Black requires bright lighting and the most neutral background - white is best.

It is no coincidence that the black and white range has long become a design classic. White wallpaper and grey colour for the floor, the headset is perfectly combined with the black color. Throw in some luscious décor tones for a wonderful contemporary kitchen.

Black can be combined with ash gray, smoke color or steel - they will successfully fit into such an interior Appliances steel shade.

Black furniture and red wallpaper are the solution for a spacious kitchen. Designers advise only to avoid flashy shades of red. Coral, burgundy, cardinal colors are best suited. With such a palette, it is imperative to add white decor.

Requirements for wallpaper for the kitchen

The most important place in the house can rightfully be called the kitchen. It is in the kitchen that the keeper of the hearth spends most of the time, the whole family gathers here for dinner, and guests meet. Wallpaper for the walls sets the general tone for the entire kitchen, harmonizes the space, makes it beautiful and complete. If you've decided to renovate an old kitchen or are renovating a brand new room and don't know where to start, it's time to pay attention to the choice of "clothes" for the walls. How to choose wallpaper for the kitchen? Where to start your search?

First of all, you need to decide for what purpose you are choosing kitchen wallpaper:

Having decided on the main purpose of the wallpaper for the kitchen, you should think about what this wallpaper should be in terms of operation and maintenance:

• Kitchen wallpaper should be durable, durable
• They should not be afraid of moisture and steam, be such as to be able to clean them with any detergent without fear for the preservation of color and pattern
• You should choose types of kitchen wallpaper that do not absorb odors.

You can, of course, combine different materials in the interior of the kitchen - ceramic tiles, Wall panels, wallpaper different types, paint and decorative plaster... In this case, it is necessary to choose wallpaper taking into account specific location their application.

The choice of wallpaper for the kitchen also depends on the illumination of the room - if available artificial lighting as the main light source, it is better to stick to light shades with an interesting texture. When buying wallpaper, do not forget about protruding niches, door and window openings, etc. And, of course, the purchased wallpaper should reflect the individuality of each family member, be the subject of everyone's choice.

Types of wallpaper

What kind of wallpapers exist and what types of them are more suitable for the kitchen? Let's try to figure it out.

Paper wallpaper. This type of wallpaper can be considered the pioneers of the wallpaper market. They are environmentally friendly as they are made from pure cellulose. Paper wallpapers are relatively inexpensive with a wide variety of colors and patterns. Such wallpapers are unlikely to be ideal for kitchen decoration, because they are short-lived and will not withstand wet cleaning.

A modern style solution to the use of paper wallpaper in the interior of the kitchen was the use of them in the apron area. You can pick up wallpaper of any pattern and paste it over the work area by placing paper wallpaper under a sheet of fireproof glass of the required size. This design option looks very unusual, but at the same time practical, and will definitely not go unnoticed by guests. Besides, kitchen apron from paper wallpaper under heat-resistant glass - an inexpensive option, in contrast to decoration with ceramic tiles or similar glass with photo printing.

Another option for using paper wallpaper in the kitchen is in areas of least contamination (for example, a dining room). Places around the sink, refrigerator, stoves can be laid out with tiles. Such repairs will look decent and will cost quite economically for the family budget.

Non-woven wallpaper... This is the so-called cellulose-based non-woven backing for tint. Non-woven wallpapers are more durable than paper wallpapers and surpass them in their performance characteristics.

This type of wallpaper has the following positive properties:

• They are easy to glue: you can only apply glue to the wall, you do not need to cover the wallpaper, which is very convenient;
• Non-woven wallpaper is not afraid of water - it can be washed;
• They are breathable, which means that mold and mildew are not scary for your kitchen;
• This type of wallpaper is considered fire resistant;
• In addition, they are quite thick, so they can be applied even to rough walls;
• This type of wallpaper does not fade in the sun for a long time;
• And you can paint non-woven wallpaper several times.

The disadvantages include the embossed surface of such wallpaper, so dust can often accumulate there. The top layer of non-woven wallpaper is easy to damage and is unlikely to be suitable for families with small children and pets.

Vinyl wallpapers. These are wallpapers that also have cellulose in their composition, but differ in a special top vinyl layer. There are several varieties of vinyl wallpapers: foamed vinyl, smooth vinyl, silkscreen and hard vinyl. Only foamed vinyl is not suitable for repairs in the kitchen due to the lack of such property as moisture resistance, other types of vinyl wallpaper are quite applicable for the kitchen interior.

Vinyl wallpapers have many advantages: they are very durable - they can be rubbed without fear of damage. Such wallpaper will hide the unevenness of the walls, and they will not fade in the sun. The assortment of vinyl wallpapers is very wide: you can choose wallpaper for every taste, even types that imitate wood and snake skin.

Unfortunately, vinyl wallpaper is not without its drawbacks. They require additional treatment of the walls with antifungal compounds before gluing the wallpaper, since they do not allow air to pass through at all. Vinyl wallpaper is quite difficult to glue - it is necessary to apply glue both on the wall and on the canvas itself, which is fraught with excessive wetting of the wallpaper, and they can easily tear. If you are new to wallpapering, it is better to use the services of professionals. In addition, vinyl wallpaper is expensive.

Glass fiber... Glass wallpaper is recognized as a higher quality, "breathing" type of wallpaper. This is the most durable wallpaper, good for masking small cracks. Glass fiber is fireproof and moisture resistant. They are hypoallergenic. Glass fiber is a variant of paintable wallpaper. They can be painted up to 15 times with water-based or acrylic paint. And thanks to the embossed texture in the form of rhombuses, twigs, all kinds of patterns, you can choose the perfect option for any kitchen.

The liquid wallpaper. A relatively recent type of wallpaper that has appeared on the construction market, which can hardly be called wallpaper. On the wall, liquid wallpaper looks more like fabric or wood, and even they are applied like plaster.

Liquid wallpaper is easy to "stick", does not require additional preparation of the walls, and can hide significant surface defects. This type of wall decoration allows you to lay the coating without joints.

In the kitchen, liquid wallpaper should be used with caution - they are afraid of moisture, so you should not use them in working area, next to the sink.

Fabric wallpaper. This type of wallpaper is very beautiful and certainly looks luxurious. Only in the kitchen should they be used when decorating the dining area and as decorative element in limited quantities, since such wallpapers cannot be washed and they absorb odors.

Among modern models, one can distinguish metallized wallpaper. The basis for this type of wallpaper is porous paper and aluminum foil. Such wallpapers look unusual and stylish.

Relatively recently, on the market of building and finishing materials appeared cork wallpaper... Their basis, as a rule, is paper or non-woven. You can take care of cork wallpaper with a sponge and water with any detergent. According to the manufacturer's data, such wallpapers will last about 20 years. The only drawback of cork wallpapers is their varied color palette from dark brown to light brown. Moreover, the cost of this type of wallpaper is very high.

More and more wallpaper manufacturers recommend choosing washable non-woven options for the kitchen or based on fiberglass. Thus, in the presence of a huge variety of species of wallpaper, everyone can choose an option to their liking and affordable.

What color wallpaper will look good in a small kitchen? What wallpaper to choose for a light green headset? How to harmoniously choose two colors for wall decor? A million questions arise in the head of a person who is planning to renovate the kitchen. Having decided on the type of wallpaper, you should start choosing the color and texture of the material.

When choosing wallpaper, you should be guided by the following basic rules:

1. It is not recommended to combine wallpapers of different cost. Choose wallpaper from the same price segment
2. Wallpaper should be in harmony with kitchen furniture - with the facades of the kitchen set, color household appliances
3. It is better to choose wallpaper of the same width, so it is much better to minimize the joints.

One of the main features when choosing the color of wallpaper for the kitchen is their combination with the kitchen set. So, for a kitchen that is fashionable today in green, wallpaper neutral in color is ideal: milky, beige, light gray. Of course, the choice directly depends on the shade of green that you have chosen for the kitchen set - the color of young greenery, mint, pistachio or rich light green color.

For a white kitchen, it is not forbidden to pick up white wallpaper to match, but be sure to use wallpaper with a pattern or a bright pattern so that the interior does not seem boring. It can be wallpaper with a corrugated pattern in a geometric, vintage style, wallpaper with a bright pattern - flowers, animal or vegetable prints.

A successful combination can serve as a combination of white wallpaper with color in the style of "Gzhel" or photowall-paper with beautiful natural, animal motives, seascapes.

Also white kitchen furniture can be diluted with bright colored wallpaper: natural green, stylish lilac, appetizing red (but you should be careful with this color - its excess can cause aggression). A combination of a white headset with cocoa-colored wallpaper can turn out to be beautiful and warm.

A brown kitchen can be represented both in the form classic color wood, and with the help of modern high-tech laminated facades. Brown color is considered natural, so the same natural shades of wallpaper are suitable for it: pastel, beige, creamy, chocolate, green, coffee colors, etc. Chocolate and beige will add warmth and softness to brown kitchens. Coffee wallpapers will bring peace of mind and harmony to the interior. An interesting style solution for brown kitchen will become red wallpaper, they will bring brightness, vitality to the kitchen and are well suited for young ambitious people.

For a beige kitchen, designers are advised to choose wallpaper of a natural shade, the darker color of the headset is chocolate, wallpaper with imitation of wood. If you want to keep the whole kitchen in beige tones, you should choose wallpaper with an interesting texture. Beige kitchen furniture looks beautiful with colors such as lavender, cornflower blue, pistachio, blue. You can use both plain wallpaper and wallpaper with a color print in a small flower or a geometric pattern.

When combining wallpaper, the main options are vertical and horizontal zoning of space.

The vertical division of the room will help to make it visually higher, as if raising the line of the ceiling. For this method, use the appropriate wallpaper in vertical stripes, placing them in the center of one wall or completely covering an entire wall. You can use both wallpaper with stripes of the same color, and colored in combination with monochromatic textures.

Horizontal striped wallpaper can give a room a decent width. You can combine wallpaper with horizontal stripes, placing them at the bottom, with wallpaper in plain color or in a small pattern located at the top of the wall.

Bold and interesting solution will be using photowall-paper with large bright objects, highlighting the accent wall with wallpaper of rich red, orange colors. This interior move is applicable only for relatively large kitchen-dining rooms.

The kitchen is the soul of any apartment, it is here that the hostess spends most of her time, and the whole family gathers for dinner. In order for this room to acquire individuality, please the eye, and it was pleasant to be here, you should choose the right wallpaper. When choosing wallpaper for the design of a living room or bedroom, you can first of all take into account your own taste, while for the kitchen you should first of all be guided by the principle of practicality.

• Since in the kitchen it is often necessary to work with fat, steam, here it is observed high humidity, then you should choose such "clothing" for the walls, which will be resistant to these factors. Therefore, it is very important to pay due attention to the choice of material.

• Each hostess spends many hours a month in the kitchen, preparing breakfasts, lunches and dinners, conducting culinary experiments and trying to please guests and household with something unusual, so the wallpaper can quickly get bored with her. This is why expensive options are not recommended for this realm of taste. It is better to make repairs and update the interior once every couple of years using budget wallpaper.
