Striped wallpaper for kitchen interior

Nowadays, striped wallpaper in the kitchen is gaining more and more popularity. Striped kitchen walls are becoming an obsession for a lot of designers.

As for striped wallpaper, if you choose them yourself, then you need to highlight several important points:

  • Everyone knows the rule, which says that vertical lines visually raise the ceiling. So, it is only true if the ceiling height is 2.5 meters or more.
  • If furniture plays an active role in your kitchen interior, then wallpaper with neutral shades and wide stripes will soften this influence. Whereas the material, in which there is an alternation of different shades and widths of the stripes, is itself capable of taking the lead roles.
  • The brighter the color of the stripes and they are narrower, the more they draw attention to themselves. Of course, this ability can be used, for example, if there is a desire to disguise the door, to make it so that it is not striking. On the other hand, you need to remember that wallpaper of this kind is a potent tool and after a while the striped kitchen can get bored with you.

  • If the kitchen has low ceilings, then you should not use horizontal stripes. There is a visual division of the wall into parts, so this material lowers the ceilings.
  • If you are going to use gray and beige wallpapers of this kind, then you should refuse to use kitchen furniture, as well as accessories made in dark colors. The fact is that such a combination will give the interior a completely neutral look.
  • A striped kitchen with green and white wallpaper in combination with wood furniture looks very good. Also, not all walls can be pasted over with striped material, but, for example, only one or two. You can also emphasize them by combining with other materials.
  • The combination in which wallpaper in striped kitchen design is combined with tiles deserves special attention. Even better would be having the color of the tiles in the wallpaper strips.

Basic rules for choosing colors for the kitchen

  1. The presence of a large pattern can visually reduce the size of the room.
  2. On the contrary, using a small drawing will make the room appear larger than it actually is.
  3. Applying geometric patterns to the walls, which are intersecting stripes, similar to the ornament on Scottish kilts, will create the illusion of a continuous space.
  4. The texture material looks very extraordinary. While it gives the walls completely different qualities, it creates an additional dimension in the room. Due to the possible play of shadows and penumbraes, various color nuances, interesting color nuances, a lot of interesting effects are obtained.

Let's sum up

Instructions for using these materials are simple and the design of your kitchen, which you get in the end, will delight you for a long time.

Beautiful wallpaper is a great option for decorating walls in the kitchen. But only if you choose the right type of coverage. What to look for when buying? In this article we will tell you how to find high-quality modern wallpaper for the kitchen, show the ideas of successful design and combination in the photo of real interiors, as well as new items from the fashionable collections of this year.

In a room where people often cook and eat, stains easily appear on the walls. Therefore, the requirements for kitchen wallpaper are much greater than for decoration for the bedroom and living room.

These are the most important properties.

1. Moisture resistance and wear resistance. Washable dense wallpaper (best of all - vinyl on a non-woven basis, as in the photo below) are considered the most suitable for pasting kitchen walls. Depending on the manufacturing method, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth, wash them with a mild soapy sponge (super-washable hot-stamped vinyl), and some can be cleaned with a soft brush (labeled “abrasion resistant”).

2. Lightfastness. If the window is large and faces south or east, look at the color fastness of the wallpaper to UV light. This is especially important for dark and bright coatings: they fade and fade faster.

3. Drawing docking. Some finishes can be glued without displacing the sheets. With a complex ornament, you will have to tinker with trimming and adjusting the pattern to the height specified by the manufacturer.

In the store, be sure to check each roll: lot number on labels must be the same... The same wallpaper from different batches sometimes differs markedly in tone. This can ruin the interior. Keep the label until the end of the repair in case you need to buy additional materials.

4 types of washable kitchen wallpaper

1. Vinyl

Beautiful, durable, waterproof and affordable. Strictly speaking, most of the wallpapers in stores (both with a picture and for painting) belong to this category. In the photos below we have collected examples from the catalogs of the Erismann and Palitra factories this year.











Even if your budget for renovations is limited, take non-woven vinyl wallpaper... The overpayment will pay off in convenience. They are easily smoothed out, better hide irregularities, do not bubble, do not stretch when wet. Instead of the reverse side of the canvas, glue is applied to the wall surface, as a result, the gluing process is easier and faster.

Different types of wallpaper differ in the technology of applying the top layer. It's better to glue in the kitchen hot stamping vinylcalled compact vinyl, heavy vinyl or silkscreen.

Many fear the vinyl finish is not breathing. This is only true for the cheapest coatings. Better ones have micropores that allow air to pass through and evaporate moisture. To be sure to avoid the appearance of mold, treat the walls with an anti-fungal compound before pasting.

Price: from 400 rubles.

2. Non-woven


Poesia (Erismann, Russia)

Non-woven material is a breathable material made from compressed cellulose fibers. It not only serves as the basis for other types of finishes, but is also used as an independent wall covering.

Non-woven wallpapers have the same benefits as vinyl wallpapers, and many design options, including embossed monochromatic paintable. If you want to quickly freshen up the interior, just repaint the walls.

But there is also a significant drawback. In Russian stores, this type of finish is presented mainly by foreign manufacturers. Therefore, in terms of cost, they lose to budget wallpaper for the kitchen of domestic production.

Price: from 2000 rubles.

3. Glass fiber and fiberglass

Wall decoration with strong, durable, fire-resistant paintable glass wallpaper is great for wet rooms. They can repaint 10-15 times without sacrificing appearance and surface relief.

There are two types of fiberglass wallpaper. Using Cobweb and fiberglass, you will get a smooth, even surface, mask cracks and prevent new ones. Dense with a relief will give the painted walls a beautiful texture.

Price: from 1000 rubles. (per roll 1 meter wide)

4. Waterproof photo wallpaper

With 3D wallpaper with photo printing, you will visually enlarge the space of a small kitchen. Panoramic images with perspective (city views, landscapes, imitation of a window) and optical illusions will help you achieve the desired effect.

Avoid paper wallpapers, even those that are moisture resistant. They will quickly fade, stain, and become saturated with culinary aromas. The paper must neither be washed nor cleaned. After 2-3 years, you will have to do cosmetic repairs again.

Looking for the right color and pattern

With the help of finishing, it is easy to correct the imperfections in the geometry of the space, visually divide it into zones and add coziness to even the most gloomy room. In this section, you will find out which wallpapers are best suited for the kitchen by color, how to choose a pattern and glue combined canvases.

  1. The main rule is not to overload the interior. Focus on either the walls or furniture. Bright facades require a monochromatic finish, preferably light colors. A neutral white, beige, gray kitchen set looks advantageous against a background of wallpaper with flowers, geometric or abstract patterns, a surface like brick, concrete, textured plaster.
  2. A vertically oriented pattern (not necessarily stripes) will raise a low ceiling. The horizontal lines will make the room lower, but the walls will "move apart".
  3. If the window faces north / west, take a closer look at wallpaper in warm colors: yellow, cream, green, peach, apricot, orange, coral, light brown. When the windows face south, it is better to choose gray, blue, blue-green, blue, silver.

Zoning the kitchen with combined wallpaper

Different coatings are often used to visually highlight dining area with table and chairs, and in the combined kitchen-living room - part of the wall behind the sofa.

Use a popular trick: paste over the accent wall wallpaper with a pattern or a bright, contrasting color. Leave the rest plain or with a neutral background finish.

Another good solution is decorate part of the wall with patterned inserts: horizontal / vertical stripes or panels. The joints between the canvases are well masked by moldings.

Examples of how you can combine two types of wallpaper in the design of the kitchen and dining room, see the photo in the selection below.

Look for materials of the same thickness and price range. Are you afraid to make mistakes? Combine companion wallpapers from one collection. They perfectly match each other in color and surface texture. Get a stylish kitchen interior with a minimum of effort guaranteed.

Currently, the strip is not just a fashionable trend in clothing, but also the main trend in interior design. It is used very often simply as a decorative technique that sets a certain rhythm, making the interior more dynamic and lively.

Striped walls

Such "touches" on the walls, like stripes, can be used in almost any interior. Neat stripes on the main wall in a room or on all walls not only look sophisticated but also allow designers to experiment with visualizing the space.

Stripes can be completely different - moderate, sophisticated, intricate, fantasy. The most important thing is to choose a design that is right for your room, so that every detail looks harmonious, like a picture painted by the hand of one artist.

One of the most common design solutions is the use of blue stripes in the bedroom.

This graphic linearity goes very well with the straight lines of your furniture. You can also use striped patterns in your bedding.

Wide stripes will bring the spirit of modernity into the interior of the room. For these streaks, you can use matte or metallic colors.

The success of any design project involving striped walls depends on the correct color choice. Here is an example of a very effective combination - olive green and a light gray metallic emulsion complement each other perfectly. And to achieve an even “dividing line”, you can use duct tape. And first apply a metallic sheen, and then paint. When painting, brush from the center of the tape to the center of the strip, but not vice versa.

Choosing strips for walls

Vertical stripes on the walls will bring symmetry to the room, as well as visually "stretch" it in height, while horizontal stripes, on the contrary, will make the room wider, but the ceiling will visually appear lower.

Wide and at the same time contrasting stripes look not only elegant, but also refined and unbeatable. Moreover, the greater their width, the more insignificant the visual "compression" of space will be.

Remember that narrow stripes at a certain distance can merge into one color, so they may not be visible. Wide stripes, on the contrary, will attract attention, will look spectacular and fashionable. In this case, the colors of the stripes can be either from the same color scheme, or contrasting.

If you want to use wallpaper for painting, then your walls should be perfectly flat, otherwise you will only emphasize all the flaws with such a design.

If you want to implement such an idea as striped walls in the interior, then remember that they are combined with almost all interior items, with the exception of those few styles that, by definition, are not inherent in straight, even lines.

If you wish, you can "decorate" only one wall (the stripes should be wide and not contrasting). This design will make your interior more solid. The design will look harmonious if it contains wallpapers in the same color scheme or stylish accessories.

How to paint striped walls. Step-by-step instruction

  1. To make your walls striped, you will need masking tape, matte varnish, paint, a narrow brush, and a roller.
  2. First, you need to mark with a pencil on the wall where you will have the stripes, then apply masking tape so that the pencil marks are subsequently painted over.

3. Then apply a matte varnish with a narrow bone. This is done to secure the tape. Also, varnish will help prevent paint from getting under the tape.

4. Then between the strips of tape you can safely apply paint with a roller.

5. Take your time! Remove the tape only after the paint is completely dry so that there are no drips.

Combine striped wallpaper with other patterns and colors

Striped wallpaper can create a chic interior with a different print:

  • the more active the palette, the more it requires support with a similar shade in the decor. In this case, the interior will be harmonious. Do you have bright wallpaper in your room? Then the pillows of the same shade should be laid out on the sofa;
  • if you want to create a soothing interior, striped wallpaper alternates with companion flowers. Furniture in this room should be in tune with the stripes or contrasting in color;

  • beige color in wall decoration is universal. It fits perfectly into any room, be it a bedroom or a living room. On a light background, furniture looks more successful in both modern and classic forms;
  • wallpaper with a wide stripe is combined with a flower wall, but experiments with "peas" are better to be postponed. They are too bold and require professionalism and excellent taste;
