Of course, when choosing a color, you should be guided only by individual preferences - after all, you won’t buy wallpaper in a strict dark color if you really like light colors?

WITHDRAWAL from brief description of all existing types of wallpaper is presented at the very bottom of the article.



Criteria for choosing kitchen wallpapers

  • Wet cleaning is regularly carried out in the kitchen, including walls, so kitchen wallpaper must be moisture resistant. The most “delicious” part of our life takes place in the kitchen, however, in the process of cooking, drops of fat, oils, juices and other unpleasant little things often get on the walls, which, in the case of improperly selected finishing material, often force the owners to start new renovation and change wallpaper. Moisture-resistant coatings withstand wiping lightly soiled areas with a soft cloth or damp sponge, without the use of detergents and cleaners. Washable wallpapers withstand similar wet cleaning, but with the addition of special detergents. But super-washable wallpapers can withstand not only rubbing with detergents, but also brushing.
  • An important indicator of the quality of kitchen wallpaper is the density, which is directly related to the strength and durability of wall decoration. In addition, the higher the density of the wallpaper, the smaller the pores in them, in which dirt easily accumulates.
  • Wallpaper for the kitchen must have high light fastness, that is, be resistant to fading in the sun, otherwise they will quickly turn yellow, losing their attractive appearance. This will affect not only the aesthetics of the room, but also make it impossible to rearrange the furniture without first repairing the walls.
  • Another important parameter is vapor permeability, due to which the walls of the kitchen dry out quickly, which has a positive effect on the microclimate of the room.
  • When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen for painting, it is recommended to give preference to those types that are suitable for repeated painting.
  • When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen, you should definitely pay attention to the labeling of the goods: the “wave” icon indicates the moisture resistance of the material, and the “wave with a brush” indicates resistance to mechanical damage.

From the assortment presented in stores and markets modern wallpaper, both domestic and foreign production, is breathtaking. Any whim is easily realized! Huge selection wallpaper, at first glance, gives us the opportunity to choose exactly what we really need, but in most cases an ordinary person in such a variety can simply get lost, so it’s better to immediately discard the options that are not suitable for finishing the kitchen.

Paper wallpapers are completely unsuitable for pasting walls in the kitchen. . Don't be fooled by the cheapness! Later, it will cost you a pretty penny with its impracticality and fragility. Having chosen paper wallpapers, you can immediately begin to prepare for a new repair. Increasingly popular textile wallpapers made of cotton, linen or silk, as well as natural wallpapers made from bamboo, veneer of rare tree species, leaves and stems of exotic herbs, of course, look impressive, but since they intensively absorb smoke, burning and smells of the cooking food, for the kitchen this is far from the best solution.

Acrylic options with prominent embossed patterns, like all other types of embossed and corrugated wallpaper with a three-dimensional pattern, are best left for finishing the living room, bedroom or hallway - in the kitchen, pretty flowers and curls will quickly become covered with a dark coating, which will be difficult to wash even with detergents.


As you know, colors tend to have a certain effect on a person’s perception - they excite, calm, you can get tired of contemplating the same color, or you can relax (morally, of course).

So what colors are suitable for the kitchen?

Today you can choose a variety of variations and combinations. But it's still worth sticking to some subtleties.

Basic rules for choosing wallpaper colors for the kitchen

* Large drawing visually reduces the size of the room. * Small drawing, on the contrary, makes the room seem more spacious than it really is. * Geometric patterns on the walls of the kitchen in the form of intersecting stripes, like the ornament on Scottish kilts, create the illusion of a continuous space. * Vertical drawing "raises" the ceilings, visually "increasing" the height of the room. * The horizontal pattern and horizontal stripes on the wallpaper "expand" the kitchen while reducing its height. * Diagonal lines on the wallpaper bring dynamics to the interior of the kitchen, creating the illusion of movement. * Texture wallpapers look very extraordinary. By endowing the surface of the walls with new qualities, they are able to create an additional dimension in the room. Thanks to the play of shadows and partial shadows, curious color nuances and unexpected alternations of textures, you can get a lot of interesting effects.

For rooms with low ceilingschoose wallpaper with longitudinal stripes or a vertical pattern. The narrower the drawing, the higher the ceiling.

Respectively, if the ceilings are high and the apartment looks like a well, a transverse pattern and horizontal stripes will help to visually equalize the height of the ceiling.

fine drawing or plain wallpaper will visually increase the space in a small room.

Large drawing and saturated colors of the wallpaper will make the room too spacious more comfortable.

But the wallpaper of cold shades (silver, blue, blue) will make the room visually wider.

The color of the wallpaper in the kitchen should certainly please the eye, be pleasant - these are beige and cheerful orange tones, perhaps yellow drawings. But red not only causes aggression - it excites the appetite. But the most interesting, perhaps, will be combinations - certain combinations of wallpaper colors for the kitchen.

We combine the color finish of the kitchen - "instructions for use"

The simplest option would be a combination of wallpapers from different textures, in which, if you choose the right colors, you can even divide the kitchen into functional areas, “raise” low ceilings and even “push apart” the walls.

You can use the same color, with a halftone-tone difference. With it, you can highlight any unusual details of the kitchen layout.



For creating modern style you can pick up several shades corresponding to one gamut. At the same time, there is such a simple, but quite effective technique as sticking several layers on top of each other. Thus, it is possible to emphasize the difference between the zones of the kitchen space. Still, as an option, you can beat one dominant color and decorate it with interspersed with lighter / darker shades.

Another design option can be a game of contrasts - black-white, yellow-blue, red-black, etc. However, it is important not to overdo it with contrasts, since such “combinations” will suit not only any kitchen, but not even all people. You can experiment with pairs such as "blue - silver", "green - gold".




If your kitchen is narrow but long, you can “expand” it with light wallpaper on the long sides and dark wallpaper on the short ones.

But square kitchens can be finished in any color - the main thing is that one of the walls is a more saturated color than the others.



Fans of oriental exoticism can combine pairs such as warm yellow tones with "bamboo" wallpaper - images of bamboo thickets, oriental themes or braided.


Important!

If you combine wallpapers, then try to withstand different kinds in the same price range. High-end models will not look at all with a cheaper option, even if the shades are very suitable for each other.

A brief description of the available types of wallpaper for the kitchen:

Vinyl wallpapersare ideal solution for decorating the kitchen. Vinyl is quite moisture-resistant, light-resistant, quite effectively hides various minor imperfections of the walls. Having picked up a material with sufficient density, you can confidently make such a purchase.

Foamed vinyl kitchen wallpaperslightly inferior to the wallpaper described above, despite its unambiguous name. These wallpapers are characterized by a rather low level of wear resistance and are limited in terms of choosing a suitable pattern.

Compact vinylis a hot stamping wallpaper that can imitate plaster, stone, leather and much more. Thanks to this, you can not limit your design ideas. In addition, compact vinyl easily tolerates all sorts of cleaning activities. However, high quality should be paid accordingly, which will pay off later. long term operation.

Non-woven wallpaperor vinyl wallpaper on non-woven base. They are easily glued, do not tear, do not wrinkle, do not deform upon contact with glue, do not swell, and are able to hide some surface defects.

silkscreen. Characterized by a smooth silky shiny surface, moisture and light resistant, and resistant to mechanical stress. They are quite dense.

Vinyl wallpaper for paintingwith the ability to repaint up to seven times, which allows you to frequently change the situation in the room.

Glass fiber- a great option to save time, effort and money. They do not require careful treatment, repainting more than ten times is possible, fire resistant, moisture resistant.

Paper wallpaper with impregnation- economical option with a short service life. Perfect for kitchens in rental apartments.

Paper wallpaper with a minimal layer of vinylcharacterized by a smooth surface, which quite clearly reveals the slightest imperfections in the bonding surface. It is for this reason that the walls should be ideally prepared for gluing.

pasting different types wallpaper is also charged differently. The cost of wallpapering directly depends not only on the types of wallpaper, but also on the degree of complexity of their sticker, on the preparedness of the working surface and on many other little things that are discussed directly with the customer.

Today, striped wallpapers are gaining popularity. Striped wallpapers are just an obsession with many designers. The well-known rule that vertical lines allow you to visually raise the ceiling works if your ceiling is at least 250 centimeters high. It is also worth remembering the following regarding striped wallpaper:

* in case the furniture plays an overly active role in the interior, wallpaper of neutral shades with wide stripes can mitigate this effect, but wallpapers where different shades and stripe widths rhyme come to the fore;

* the brighter and narrower the stripes, the more they distract attention to themselves. This ability allows, if desired, to disguise the door, that is, to make it not so conspicuous. But do not forget that such wallpaper is a potent remedy and there is a possibility that after some time you will get tired of this type of room.


* Rooms with low ceilings will not fit horizontal stripes - they visually divide the wall into parts and thereby lower the ceiling. Although in the bedroom such a solution is acceptable. When choosing furniture, one should not strive to get exactly the same tone as the striped wallpaper - it is quite enough if they match the main color.


Those who are going to use beige and gray wallpapers of this type can be advised to abandon dark-colored furniture and accessories, since this combination gives the interior an absolutely neutral look.



CONCLUSION ON THE MAIN TYPES OF WALLPAPERS

Paper wallpaper with a special water-repellent impregnation is the most affordable option suitable for pasting a kitchen. However, they will last no more than three or four years, and besides, they quickly fade in the sun, and they do not differ in special decorative effect.

  • Paper wallpaper with a minimal layer of vinyl
A very thin wallpaper with a smooth surface and usually a kitchen themed pattern, without much pretense of aesthetics. Their main drawback is that ideally even walls are required for gluing, otherwise any dent, crack or protrusion will immediately catch the eye.
  • Foamed vinyl kitchen wallpaper
Despite the fact that moisture-resistant vinyl foam wallpapers are proudly called kitchen wallpapers, they cannot be called the best option for the kitchen. A thin vinyl layer is not particularly durable and durable, and thematic drawings with gastronomic motifs will not appeal to everyone.
  • Vinyl wallpapers
The ideal "wallpaper" solution for wall decoration in the kitchen is vinyl - an artificial material that is not afraid of moisture, light and successfully hides wall imperfections. The main thing is to choose vinyl wallpaper with a sufficiently high density, which can be determined by squeezing the unfolded roll with your hands: if the material is easily wrinkled during this manipulation, then it will not work for the kitchen. Vinyl wallpapers consist of several layers: the bottom layer of fabric or durable paper is supplemented with a top layer of polyvinyl chloride film, which gives them increased strength. Of the positive qualities of vinyl wallpaper, it should be noted their durability, non-toxicity, moisture and light resistance, as well as resistance to the formation of fungi.
  • Compact vinyl
The best option for the kitchen - compact vinyl - hot embossed wallpaper imitating stone, textured plaster, leather, textiles. Compact vinyl can be safely rubbed with a brush, washed, scratched without fear for the integrity of the coating. The material is durable, perfectly masks wall defects, and its original texture and variety of colors will help create a stylish and harmonious decor. Naturally, this option is not cheap, but it is high time to get used to the fact that quality has its price.
  • Vinyl wallpaper on non-woven base
Vinyl wallpapers are available on a paper or non-woven basis. Flizelin is a non-woven fabric, thanks to which the wallpaper acquires a lot of positive characteristics: they do not wrinkle, do not tear, fit perfectly on the surface, do not swell, do not shrink after the glue dries, perfectly hide small dents and cracks, giving the walls a neat and tidy appearance. Glue, in the case of non-woven wallpaper, is applied directly to the walls, after which prepared dry sheets are applied to the surface, gently straightened and smoothed.
  • silkscreen
A variety of compact vinyl - multi-layer wallpaper on a paper backing with an outer vinyl layer with artificial or silk threads. Their main difference from ordinary vinyl is a silky shiny smooth surface. Wallpapers are elastic, dense to the touch, resistant to sunlight, moisture and mechanical damage.
  • Vinyl wallpaper for painting
White or colored vinyl wallpapers for painting deserve special attention, which can be repainted up to 5-7 times if desired. A great option for those who like to change the situation often.
  • fiberglass wallpaper
Glass fiber has a number of advantages. Firstly, they lack a nutrient medium for the development of microorganisms. Secondly, being a dielectric, glass does not accumulate an electrostatic charge. Thirdly, fiberglass wallpaper does not emit toxic substances into the air and does not cause allergies. At the same time, they are distinguished by high vapor permeability, fire safety, alkali and acid resistance. Glass fiber perfectly hides the seams between the panels, small cracks and dents, allowing you to get a perfectly smooth, even, well-structured surface. After painting glass fiber with water-based or latex paints you will get a wear-resistant, durable coating that can withstand frequent washing with a brush. It is possible to repaint such wallpapers without losing the relief of the pattern and the operational characteristics of the material up to 12 times. Glass fiber in the kitchen is convenient because they do not require careful handling and labor-intensive maintenance, which saves time, money and effort that can be directed to more enjoyable activities.

Kitchen wallpaper must meet several important requirements - be cleanable (look for three waves and a brush on the label), fire resistant (look for flames), durable and safe. Therefore, choose either paper with special impregnation or vinyl - this artificial material is very strong and perfectly protects the walls from moisture, however, its quality depends on the thickness and density of the coating.

  1. Impregnated paper. Paper wallpapers impregnated with a water-repellent mixture cost only 70-80 rubles. per roll and allowed to wipe themselves with a damp cloth. But this option looks modest, it lasts no more than 3-4 years and quickly fades in the sun - for cheap wallpapers, paints that are not very light-resistant are usually used.
  2. Paper with a minimal layer of vinyl. These are thin and absolutely smooth wallpapers, on which a kitchen pattern is usually applied - tiles, teapots, fruits and vegetables. They look rustic and require perfectly smooth walls for gluing - any protrusion or dent under thin wallpaper will be very noticeable. However, this option is also inexpensive - from 150 rubles.
  3. Kitchen. Among the whole variety of wallpapers there are special kitchen wallpapers - they are made of moisture-resistant foamed vinyl and have thematic drawings: tile, teapots, cups, spoons (price - an average of 250-500 rubles per roll). However, it is still impossible to call them ideal for the kitchen. Firstly, not everyone likes gastronomic motifs on the walls. Secondly, the wallpaper does not have a very thick vinyl layer, which can be easily scratched by a cat or a child.
  4. Silkscreen. This is a type of compact vinyl, only protective layer here it is rolled out very thinly and made silky and pearlescent. In terms of strength and resistance to moisture, such an “outfit” can be perfect for the kitchen.
  5. Vinyl for painting. There are vinyl wallpapers that can be repainted up to 5-7 times (look for this information on the label). Initially, they are white or colored. This is a very convenient option for the kitchen, because you can always cover up the dirt or change the annoying shade. True, white vinyl wallpaper for painting is only sold in large rolls - 25 m long and 1.06 m wide, so after pasting a small kitchen, you may have a lot of scraps left.

Miracle interlining

When purchasing vinyl wallpaper, pay attention to what basis they are made of - paper or non-woven (non-woven fabric). The second option is considered more advanced today. In this case, the glue is not applied to the wallpaper, but directly to the wall, then dry sheets are applied on top and carefully straightened and smoothed. They lay down perfectly - they do not tear, do not wrinkle, do not sit down and do not swell, so the walls “dressed” in interlining look very neat. In addition, small cracks and dents can be hidden under them.

Color depends on light

Choosing durable and moisture resistant wallpaper decide on their colors. It is clear that the shade of the walls is a matter of taste, but there is general rules, breaking which you can bring disharmony into the interior. For example, for a 6-7-meter kitchen, it is undesirable to buy wallpaper in dark colors, as well as with large contrasting patterns or clearly visible vertical stripes.

Photo example of a kitchen design with wallpaper.

Visually, they will further reduce the space. For a small room, you should prefer wallpaper with a small, rare pattern or plain “background”. If your kitchen is facing north, choose warm and light colors like yellow, orange, cream or pinkish. But a sunny, light-filled dining room will look better in cold colors - blue, blue, green, gray and marble.

In general, the kitchen houses many different interior details (sets, Appliances, table, chairs, sofa), and it is very important not to create a sense of chaos, so be careful with the aggressive multi-colored design of the walls and their contrasting combination with a decorative border. In addition, when buying wallpaper, do not make a mistake with their color - light-colored rolls that you purchased in bright sunlight may turn out to be much darker after pasting the kitchen. In order not to make such a mistake, look at the product in different lighting conditions and ask the seller if there is in a special "fitting room for wallpaper" shop.

Italians are in the lead

In our market, German wallpapers are the most represented. In second place are domestic, then Belarusian, Ukrainian, Italian and French. The most fashionable and modern "clothes" for the walls, of course, are made in the homeland of Michelangelo, spaghetti and Valentino.

However, one should not belittle the merits of a Russian product - today it is almost as good as a European one in terms of quality and beauty, but it costs an order of magnitude cheaper. Just be careful when buying Chinese wallpapers - some of them are made of low-quality vinyl that emits strong smelling substances. To make sure that the purchase is environmentally friendly, look for GOST on domestic wallpaper, and on imported wallpaper - the RAL symbol, which is the quality mark of the European Union of Manufacturers. The tested product does not contain toxic vinyl chloride, chlorine and fluorocarbons and does not emit harmful volatile compounds.

Measure the perimeter of the room, subtract the width of the doorway and window from it, round the result and multiply it by two (if the wallpaper is 51-53 cm wide) - this way you will get the number of panels needed for pasting. To find out how many of them are contained in one roll, divide its length by the length of the sheet (ceiling height plus 10 cm). True, this applies to wallpapers that do not have an explicit pattern.

Sheets on which the figures coincide are cut, superimposed on each other. There are usually no problems here. The most difficult thing is preparing wallpaper with an offset pattern. It is difficult to estimate the number of rolls in this case, since a lot of scraps can go to waste, so you will have to buy them with a margin.

A bright spot in a white kitchen.

Despite the fact that the most popular finishing material for kitchens remains ceramic tile, more and more often designers offer to use wallpaper.

Wallpaper for walls in the kitchen should have special properties:

  • washable easy to tidy,
  • materials that absorb odors should not be used in wall decoration,
  • when choosing coatings, water-repellent wallpapers are more preferable,

These are the options that look attractive, harmoniously fit into the interior of the room, fit the kitchen furniture.

These tasks will perfectly cope with the wallpaper, suitable for both the kitchen and the dining room:

  • Vinyl, having a non-woven base. To date, these are the most common options, usually two-layer, and vinyl protects the bottom layer of interlining.
  • Wallpaper with non-woven and vinyl coating will protect the walls from moisture.
  • Vinyl moisture resistant coverings on a paper basis.
  • Wallpaper, in the production of which fiberglass was used, is able to maintain its original appearance at high humidity and temperature changes.

Often, textile or ordinary paper wallpapers are bought on the walls in the kitchen. After a while, such coatings lose their attractiveness, fade, warp, absorb moisture and odors, and the kitchen begins to look sloppy.

Vinyl is a great option for those who care about the design of the room. Drawing on such wallpaper can be of any size or any theme; among vinyl paintings you can easily find those that will visually expand the room. You can hide the unevenness of the wall finish by choosing the appropriate coating density.

It is important to purchase not only beautiful and eye-catching wallpapers, but also pay attention to the choice of color palette and pattern.

The color should depend not only on the size and its lighting. Ideal for a small kitchen - light, pastel colors. If the kitchen is large, then dark colors will look better here.

Wallpaper for a white kitchen makes it possible to apply the entire arsenal of excellent design solutions. If the predominant shade of the furniture is white or very light, it is rational to buy contrasting wallpapers that will emphasize the snow-whiteness of the surfaces. Various patterns, ornaments, fashionable prints - all this can be afforded by the owners of kitchens with white furniture.

Coatings for decorative stone and other natural materials will look great.

In order to protect the coating, but not use tiles, some designers suggest paying attention to safety glass.

  • Moisture resistance - we have already mentioned the importance of this quality above,
  • Density. As you know, the denser the wallpaper, the better and longer they hold,
  • Vapor permeability. An important quality for such wet rooms like a kitchen. Such wallpaper dries quickly and does not absorb fumes during cooking,

Material

  1. Paper wallpaper - a classic among wallpapers, the cheapest and most practical option. Unfortunately, they are not suitable for the kitchen, because they do not have the above properties and will quickly deteriorate in the kitchen microclimate.

Choosing suitable wallpaper for the kitchen, with its eternal temperature fluctuations and high humidity, be sure to read the label- on it, the manufacturer informs us about the characteristics of his product.

In addition to strength characteristics, on the wallpaper you can also find hints about their correct gluing. For example, the image of a roller with the handle pointing up means that the adhesive should be applied only to the material, and with the handle to the right - directly on the wall.

Zoning space

Even the smallest kitchen is divided into at least two functional areas: a work area where we prepare food, and a dining room. And if, with the help of a combination of wallpaper, the boundaries of these areas are visually emphasized, the room will seem larger and more spacious.

For example, for a kitchen backsplash, you can use refractory materials, wallpaper with a photo taken in macro mode, depicting juicy fruits, colorful plants or panoramic landscapes.

  3. For modern interiors with an urban design, good decision glass or vinyl with a metal coating will become. These materials are easy to care for and have excellent strength characteristics, while the steel sheen and silky smoothness of the wallpaper will appeal to fans of hi-tech and techno style.
