Wallpaper - a great comeback
Wallpaper can be an important (and practical) part of decorating any space. The kitchen is no exception. Gone are the days when wallpaper was exclusively used in living rooms and bedrooms. Thanks to the ever-evolving wallpaper technology and design, wallpaper has become more than just a simple backsplash in kitchens around the world. Traditional approach tells us that wallpaper cannot work in interiors with high humidity, such as a kitchen. With a little bit of creativity, you'll find that wallpaper is a great addition to any kitchen that will easily enhance your decor.
Universal and easy to apply, the wallpaper is a great alternative for people looking to move away from conventional wall decorating. In the text below, we will debunk some myths related to wallpapers and prove that the use of this universal carrier is a practical matter. Let's also look at how to apply wallpaper in the kitchen.
What types of wallpaper are recommended for the kitchen?
Two main types of wallpaper that are recommended for use in the kitchen: vinyl and washable wallpaper. Vinyl wallpapers are colors, patterns and patterns printed on a vinyl surface. Vinyl is a chemical made from ethylene, a derivative of natural gas. These types of wallpapers are hard, washable and do not fade when exposed to sunlight. Their only burden is that removing vinyl wallpaper can be difficult as vinyl is largely impermeable to water. Washable wallpaper is a different wallpaper technique, different from vinyl wallpaper. Washable wallpapers have a thin transparent plastic coating covering the pattern printed on the base paper. This coating makes them more resistant to stains and marks and allows you to wipe them with a damp cloth without damaging the overall decor.
How to choose the pattern and color of the wallpaper?
We currently have a large selection of wallpapers. Some have fairly simple designs and patterns, while others are much more complex. Depending on what you want, when choosing wallpaper for your kitchen, you can opt for something simple and warm, or choose something colorful and dynamic that can liven up the atmosphere in the room. The color or pattern is naturally the leitmotif of the wallpaper. An intricate pattern would be better mixed with plain, neutral colors, while a simple pattern should pair nicely with bold or vibrant colors. Remember to choose a wallpaper that will match the current furniture, countertops and fittings colors. It's also important to choose a design that will match the style of your kitchen but will age or become outdated too quickly.
How can I create wallpaper for the wall?
There are many new ways to use wallpaper in the kitchen. Modern wallpaper designs are no longer limited to one way of applying it and using few boring prints of one kind. A great way to integrate a wallpaper into a kitchen is to create one expressive part covered with wallpaper. You are free to use paint or tiles in areas such as behind the sink and hob, and then accentuate your choice of kitchen wallpaper by applying it to a single wall. So which wall to choose? A wall that is relatively undisturbed but one that you notice regularly may be your best choice. The wallpaper in the kitchen at the table will be perfect for this.
There are thousands of patterns to choose from, so sticking to one wallpaper wall allows you to play with something more extravagant, colorful or bizarre. A design that can overwhelm your kitchen, if applied as a whole, can make a great choice for a single wall. The only limitation is your creativity - consider a colorful floral theme or wallpaper in one of this year's fashionable colors. As an added bonus even though the wallpaper is quite expensive; in a small space, you don't need much of it to make an impact.
Kitchens are the center and heart of every home, which is also emphasized architecturally by open kitchens and dining rooms. Kitchens are perfect for decorating walls with wallpapers - all you need to do is choose the right material and the effect that the wallpaper will have on the whole. It will be an extremely grateful and appropriate field for shaping your taste.
