Wallpaper for Kitchens

Designing kitchens with wallpaper

The kitchen is not only used to prepare delicious dishes, but is also a convivial place for friends and family. In a relaxed, cosy atmosphere, kitchens should invite people to chat, enjoy themselves and try out new recipes. The right choice of wallpaper for the wall design plays an essential role here, because with the right patterns, colours and textures of your kitchen wallpaper, the room becomes a place for joyful culinary encounters.

Different styles of kitchen wallpaper

Country-style kitchen wallpaper

Country-style kitchens are particularly popular, as they provide a sociable and cosy flair. Striped wallpaper is the classic choice for country-style kitchens. Scandinavian designs in particular create a stylish atmosphere with their striped designs in light colours. Wallpapers with a wood or stone look are also suitable for a country-style kitchen. Wallpapers with the look of dark wood panels have a rustic and inviting effect thanks to their warm earthy tones. For a timeless Scandinavian look, minimalist patterns with a light wood look create a cosy and natural atmosphere. Different types of stone make kitchen wallpaper look deceptively real thanks to their three-dimensional appearance and create a natural and warm look on the wall.

Modern kitchen wallpaper

Wallpaper designs with geometric patterns can be selected to create a modern atmosphere in the kitchen. These conjure up a stylish order on the wall and have a special effect in the kitchen thanks to their illusionary effects. Graphic wallpaper designs with flowers, dynamic lines or ornaments look equally modern in kitchens. Modern wallpaper designs create an inviting and extravagant atmosphere.
 

Kitchen wallpaper in vintage style

Kitchen wallpaper with vintage patterns or retro designs can add a unique nostalgic touch to the kitchen. Motifs with geometric shapes or graphic elements from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s combine to create impressive patterns that can be combined with both classic and modern kitchen interiors. Retro-style kitchen wallpapers create a romantic and dreamy atmosphere with floral motifs. Artistic floral ornaments or eye-catching motifs from the flower power era have a particularly nostalgic and extravagant effect on the wall.

Luxurious kitchen wallpaper

Marble is the epitome of luxury and can create a high-quality and extravagant effect in the kitchen as a wallpaper pattern. Deceptively realistic imitations in light and dark colours and unusual textures create an exclusive effect in the kitchen. Wallpapers with gold accents, shimmer or gloss elements can also be used to create a unique play of light in the kitchen and add an extra dimension to the wall. Tile-look kitchen wallpapers can create an artistic and high-quality effect in the room with imitations of oriental ornamental tiles.
 

Patterned wallpaper in the kitchen

Whether a subtle or eye-catching patterned wallpaper can unfold its full effect in the kitchen depends on the kitchen furnishings. A wallpaper with a bold pattern and bright colours can help to make the kitchen look livelier and more dynamic. This type of wallpaper is particularly suitable for a kitchen that has a more minimalist design and needs colour accents. White kitchen furnishings in particular can be visually emphasised with high-contrast wallpaper. On the other hand, wallpaper with a restrained pattern and a neutral colour is suitable for an eye-catching kitchen design so as not to appear too overwhelming. Patterned wallpaper can also be used as an ideal accent wall to enhance the dining or cooking area.

Which colours are suitable for wallpaper in the kitchen?

Of course, there are no limits to the choice of wallpaper colours, as long as they match individual preferences and the style of the interior. However, some colours are particularly suitable for kitchen wall design: white kitchen wallpaper creates a stylish and bright ambience and can be combined with almost any kitchen decor. Grey is an elegant and modern kitchen wallpaper colour that creates a minimalist atmosphere. Kitchen wallpaper in beige is particularly suitable for a natural look. Stronger colours such as orange or red have an appetising effect with wallpaper in the kitchen and bring warmth to the wall. Blue and green can also be used for kitchen wallpaper.
