Design options

For finishing kitchen walls, the following materials are most often used:

Wallpaper. On the modern market There are a huge number of varieties of wallpaper, but do not forget that not all are suitable for the kitchen. The greatest preference should be given to non-woven, washable and vinyl wallpaper. Due to their properties, they can be easily cleaned of dirt with water and a sponge;

Brick. A wonderful original material to decorate your kitchen area. Such walls do not even require additional decoration. It is only important to choose the color of the brick for the main color scheme of the kitchen;

Ceramic tile. A very practical coating for a kitchen "apron", characterized by increased strength and resistance to frequent washes, even with aggressive detergents. Her choice in the market is huge. You can also use it as floor covering, only in this case, give preference to matte porcelain stoneware;

Plastic wall panels. Another type of kitchen wall decoration, characterized by practicality and durability. They can finish the entire kitchen completely, and in the “apron” area use such a designer “trick”: stick a collage of photos or photo wallpapers there, and glass panels on top. This coating will be resistant to dirt and will be a beautiful addition to the interior of the kitchen;

Relief plaster. A great option for those who want to give the walls a certain texture (for example, the texture of wood, leather, stone, etc.) and paint them in one or more tones;

Wall paint. Here, too, there is where to roam the designer's imagination. On the modern market, you can find not only simple, but also very interesting textured paint, for example, with pieces of marble chips or sawdust, which will create a unique relief on the walls. A smooth glossy finish will also look beautiful.

Decoration in the dining area

It's no secret that in the kitchen it is best to distinguish between work and dining area. This is easy to do by creating an accent wall at the dining table.

As a rule, the table in our kitchen is located near a free wall. There you can not hang cabinets and shelves. But this does not mean that the wall should remain boring and faceless. Let's think together how you can decorate an empty wall?

There are the following options:

Decoration with photo wallpapers. Here and there, and on a free wall in the dining area, the murals will look very harmonious and successful. It is important to choose a picture that matches the meaning and color scheme of your kitchen space. Village motifs, city views, nature look very nice. Do not forget that the chosen pattern should not only please and fit into the interior, but also stimulate the appetite;

Fresco. This type of wall decoration differs from photo wallpaper in that the fresco is applied manually on a plastered wall or on a canvas on a self-adhesive or non-woven base. This is a rather expensive type of decoration, but such a wall looks very impressive. However, if you have artistic skills and are confident in yourself as a master, you may well be able to apply the fresco yourself;

Wall decoration with wallpaper. If you don’t really want to bother and your option is to simply wallpaper the walls, take note of the following idea - choose wallpaper for the wall located in the dining area that is in harmony with the rest of the kitchen walls, but still differs in pattern, texture, shade. In such a simple way, you can create a visual zoning of the room and at the same time not create extra work for yourself;

You can do the same if you painted the kitchen walls with paint. In the eating area, you can use a different shade of paint to create an interesting pattern using a pre-made stencil. You can also play with textures.

Choice of colors

In order for your kitchen to be not only beautiful and stylish, but also to make you want to eat, you need to choose the right color palette for its design. Here's what designers have to say about the use of different colors in kitchen decor and their effect on appetite:

Red. The most aggressive, energetic color that increases appetite very well. But due to its excessive intrusiveness, you should not overload the interior with it, just a few bright accents. By the way, the color "Bordeaux" is one of the most recommended when decorating a cafe or restaurant;

Orange. Very "delicious" color, defiant desire eat. Often used in decorating establishments fast food. It is also desirable to dilute it with calmer colors, for example, various shades of brown, gray;

Yellow similar in appearance to orange. However, in addition to an increase in appetite, it also causes an increased craving for communication, since it carries a very positive, “solar” charge. The kitchen, decorated in yellow tones, will delight you and cheer you up every day;

Green shades good for people who are fond of healthy eating. Due to the fact that there is a lot of natural greenery in nature, this color is associated with something useful and tasty. It is only necessary to pay attention to the tone that you are going to use for decoration - a too dark, dirty shade of green can discourage even a hungry person's appetite, but a light one, on the contrary, will help you get hungry and enjoy food;

Blue, blue, purple. Cold and unattractive colors in terms of finishing the kitchen. You can of course use them to decorate your kitchen space, but not as a primary, but as an additional color, literally add a few small accents. This color scheme will suit you only if you intend to lose weight and are struggling with overeating;

White. A very wicked color. The fact is that it creates a feeling of some weightlessness and lightness, so food eaten in a white interior seems low-calorie and harmless. So be careful what you eat in such a kitchen and do not overeat;

The black. In contrast to white, it does not cause a desire to overeat, but reduces appetite. However, it is often used in the design of expensive restaurants due to its strict sophistication and elegance. You can use it in the design of your kitchen space, just dilute it with white or metallic color.

Additional decorative elements

When decorating the kitchen, in addition to materials for decorating the walls, additional decorative elements, such as:

Bright wall clock. There are now a great many of them, of all shapes and colors; very much in purely kitchen theme(for example, with the image of a cup of coffee or scrambled eggs, in the form of a dish element or with a print in the Provence style - lavender, weaves of leaves or a couple of birds).

You can hang them over kitchen table, which is very convenient when you are in a hurry to work or an important meeting. In any case, this decor element will be very useful to you;

Decorating with unusual wall plates. They can be attached to the wall using special holders. The order of their placement can be chaotic, but make sure that even in chaos there is order so that the final composition looks harmonious and does not contradict other elements of the decor;

Decorative shelves. These are not only beautiful, but also very functional interior items. You can put on them beautiful dishes, bright jars with spices; hang potholders and towels on hooks. You can also decorate them with souvenirs and even potted flowers;

Paintings. Depending on the overall style decision of your kitchen, you can pick up almost any image - from still life to abstraction. Instead of paintings, you can decorate the walls with a selection of family photos;

Slate. A very popular detail in the West kitchen interior. Indeed, it is convenient to write down recipes, a meal schedule, valuable instructions for family members, or just draw funny pictures on it. Just be sure to pick up high-quality chalk, otherwise the entire floor under the board will be strewn with chalk chips. By the way, an alternative could be marker board, which does not have such a disadvantage;

Wall stickers and painting. If your kitchen walls are painted in one color or covered with plain wallpaper, vinyl wall stickers will help to dilute the interior. They are impact resistant sun rays and moisture, they can be changed from time to time without harm to the main coating. You can even make such a sticker with your own hands!
