Kitchen Wallpaper: Appetite For Style

The kitchen is often the heart of the home. The dining room is easily overlooked in favour of the convenience of preparing meals straight from the cupboard. Packing school lunches and helping the children with homework also happen around the kitchen table, making it a lively and busy space. However, wallpaper may not always seem the most practical choice for kitchens. Heat, grease, and splashing water can make it a challenging environment. That said, the right wallpaper, placed carefully, can add remarkable character to an otherwise unremarkable kitchen.

SAFETY FIRST

One popular choice is to add wallpaper as a splashback behind the hob or sink. Though it may seem unwise to put wallpaper near a flame, most non-woven wallpapers on the market have been fire-tested. For extra safety, an electric hob may be preferable to a gas one. Generally, as long as your hob contains the flame correctly, wallpaper should be fine. The same principle applies to water. Most wallpapers can handle occasional splashes, provided they’re gently wiped with a soft cloth. If water frequently soaks into the wallpaper, however, it may weaken the adhesive over time and cause the paper to peel. Still, in many cases, wallpaper can be a practical option that allows for quick, easy cleaning. Below are some examples of wallpaper used effectively in kitchens.

Kitchen nooks and breakfast nooks are fun spots to use a small bit of wallpaper. Wallpaper can add some character to the area in a way without worry about the practical implications from a volatile kitchen. Look at these nook-tastic examples.
