Before choosing the decor, there is one more important step – to properly decorate the walls with facing materials. Let’s discuss possible options.
The most popular design option is to decorate the walls in the kitchen with wallpaper. It is better to choose washable ones, from which it is much easier to remove traces of food and grease. Plain products or wallpaper with prints will do. Images of vegetables and fruits, spices, aromatic pastries, and utensils look organic in the kitchen interior. For country and Provence style designs, wall framing with a striped pattern or discreet patterns is preferable.
Natural materials for wall decoration are rapidly coming into fashion. For example, a kitchen interior with stabilized moss looks spectacular. You should not be afraid of an unpleasant smell – in this regard, stabilized plants are absolutely neutral. Complex care is also not expected – it is enough to treat the “living surface” with special solutions from time to time. Look at the photo – the picture shows how moss refreshes the interior and how much it transforms the room.
You can treat the walls with special compounds with dyes. If you want a more textured coating, choose decorative plaster. It is easy to apply and looks impressive on surfaces. However, keep in mind that this is not the most practical option for the kitchen. Traces of grease and moisture are clearly visible on plastered walls.
If you want a more practical and durable coating, choose paint. With its help, it is easy to make the wall monochromatic or create a gradient effect – a color transition from dark to light. In this way, you can decorate all surfaces or highlight one accent.
Tiles for decorating kitchen walls are a rarity. However, this material is sometimes present in interiors. For example, in ethnic styles, mysterious fusion, strict Scandinavian designs. Most often, tiles are used to create white walls, on which bright interior compositions look interesting. The photo shows another example – the idea of decorating an accent surface with a material with prints.
Brick decor on the kitchen wall is a trend of such styles as minimalism or loft. Typically, designers use this technique to decorate an accent wall. The brick surface looks interesting both in the dining and work areas. And it also goes well with decor.
Also, natural, liquid or artificial stone, clinker brick are sometimes used to decorate walls in the kitchen. These materials look original on surfaces, so flashy accessories for decorating the room are not required.
