Choose the type of wallpaper for the kitchen

Currently, the technological possibilities for the production of finishing materials allow the use of almost any of their options in the kitchen. And the conditions of this room are quite specific: the kitchen has a high level of humidity, pollution and vaporization.

Important! Do not glue the wallpaper on the wall near the stove, sink and the rest of the working area. In this case, use a classic tile.

Regardless of the kind of cloths and their properties, all wallpaper in the dining room must have the following characteristics:

• Density of the material. The role of this indicator is obvious - thicker wallpaper is characterized by increased strength and a long service life. In addition, the structure of the finish has a smaller number of pores, in which, as a rule, dust and fat accumulate.
• Resistance to ultraviolet light. The wall covering, if it is actually of high quality, should not lose color in the sun, and the pattern will not change with the heat of the plate.
• Resistance to steam and moisture. Moisture should not penetrate the canvas, but should dry as quickly as possible on the wallpaper.

And now we'll look at specific types of material, and how to choose beautiful wallpaper in the kitchen, based on their properties and features.

Vinyl

Vinyl wallpaper can be based on non-woven or extra thick paper.

By the way of production of the material, the following are distinguished:

• Wallpaper with washable surface made of foamed PVC.Such a finish can be cleaned with a usual damp cloth.
• Especially washable hot stamping cloths. Their surface can be treated with a soap solution with a sponge, and wallpaper with increased wear resistance - even brush.

Choose wallpaper for the kitchen of this type is very appropriate, because they are characterized by such advantages:

• Attractive cost of the finishing material.
• Excellent moisture resistance.
• Increased strength.

These three serious factors will allow the coating to last about ten years, without losing its aesthetic appearance.

Important! Vinyl wallpaper is a practical wall decoration in the kitchen, as well as in the bathroom, corridor or hallway, which are also subject to higher wear and exposure to adverse factors - moisture, steam, copious pollution.

Give preference to vinyl based on non-woven fabric.

Their advantages are:

• Easy to paste. Convenience is the application of glue on the wall, and not on the canvas.
• The ability to mask minor flaws on the surface of walls.
• The wallpaper is good, it does not crumble.
• Different decor of the material for painting. The design of the wallpaper for the kitchen is very diverse. In the range of vinyl cover there are fine specimens that qualitatively mimic the texture of the fabric, plaster, fibers of plant origin.

A special type of vinyl wallpaper is the material, the outer layer of which contains silk threads. This is the so-called silkscreen. Such a wall covering is even more qualitative:

• Requires the most simple maintenance.
• Does not fade under the sun for a long time.
• Surface washable.
• In addition, a smooth coating for the kitchen is more practical than relief.

Paper

Paper wallpaper, in principle, a fairly popular and in-demand type of wall covering. They include only paper, without adding any impurities.

Making kitchen paper wallpaper has both significant advantages and disadvantages. To begin better with advantages of such furnish:

1. Low price. Paper linens are much lower than other types of wallpaper.
2. The material is breathable.
3. The paper cover is absolutely environmentally friendly.
4. Simple installation on the wall surface.
5. Assortment. Representation of paper wallpapers is very wide and multifaceted in its shades, patterns and ornaments, style and design.

But the disadvantages of this finish are quite serious, especially in the kitchen. These include:

• Short service life.
• Paper - this is a rather fragile material, they can easily be damaged by mechanical influences.
• Absorbance of odors. For the kitchen, this is completely unacceptable, since without any different flavors, no cooking process takes place.
• No possibility of wet cleaning of the finish surface.

Non-woven

What is Non-woven Fabric? This substance serves as the basis for a variety of coatings. It is made from pressed cellulose fibers with a mixture of viscose and polyester.

Wallpaper in the dining room of nonwoven are marked with such advantages:

• Significant strength, much higher than paper sheets.
• Material "breathable".
• Do not stretch and swell under the influence of moisture.
• Smoothes flaws in the surface - small cracks and uneven walls.
• To glue this type of wallpaper is quite easy. In work, the material is unpretentious, simply smoothed out, not torn and does not crumple.
• When the wallpaper has dried, shrinkage does not occur.

Important! Convenience of work with this finishing material consists in easy processing by glue of a surface of walls, instead of the wall-paper.

How beautifully to decorate the kitchen with wallpaper based on nonwoven fabric? All kinds of coating design stand out:

• Relief and smooth finish surfaces.
• Instances with decorative processing from acrylic or vinyl.
• Matt and with shiny gloss.

Important! Most wallpapers of this type are suitable for painting. For long-term use, we advise you to color the wallpaper with high-quality compounds. The most suitable are water-based paints, as well as latex with acrylic base. The surface of the wallpaper can be painted at least 6-7 times, and the most high-quality materials are even more.

The number of paint applications depends on such factors:

• Degrees of severity of relief.
• Features of paint and its quality.
• Method for coating wallpaper with a coloring composition.

The main and, in fact, the only drawback of non-woven fabrics is their high price, which is significantly higher than paper and vinyl analogues. And another nuance can be identified that simple non-woven fabric can not be washed. Cleaning can only be done if it is covered with paint or vinyl. This factor is especially important for the kitchen.

Acrylic

Acrylic canvases consist of such parts:

• Base. It can be paper or non-woven.
• A layer of foamed acrylic approximately 2 mm thick. This level is applied by spraying. Processing occurs under the influence of high temperature.

Important! The acrylic surface has a relief structure.

The design of wallpaper made of acrylic for the kitchen is quite acceptable, thanks to such properties of the material:

1. The wallpaper is incredibly light. Their weight is almost two times lower than the vinyl finish.
2. That's why their second advantage is the ease of pasting.
3. Tapestries are characterized by sufficient density and durability.
4. Smoothes minor flaws on the wall plane.

But such important properties within the kitchen, as moisture resistance and wear resistance, are not the highest level. Of course, acrylic sheets are stronger than paper, but they are inferior in quality to other types of finishes. The relief ornament is simply damaged. A serious disadvantage is the exposure of the acrylic coating to moisture. From which it follows that in the kitchen such trellises do not last long.

Important! You can wash the wallpaper, but very carefully and without the use of aggressive detergents and abrasives.

Natural

Decorating the kitchen with wallpaper from natural materials is not very often used, but it is quite permissible. Not all options are suitable, so we recommend using the following:

• Bamboo covering.
• Jute trim.
• Cork wallpaper.
• Sisal.

Important! The main advantage of this type of wallpaper is their naturalness and environmental friendliness.

In addition, they differ in the following important qualities for the kitchen coating:

• Breathability.
• Not afraid of the effects of water. The surface of the wallpaper can be washed. Abrasive and aggressive agents should be avoided.
• Features excellent sound insulation, especially cork.
• Durability.
• Hygiene.
• Do not lose their shade and drawing.
• Creates a feeling of coziness and warmth in the interior.

The cons of natural wallpapers are:

• Heavy material, for its installation you need to purchase special glue.
• The gluing process is quite laborious. It is necessary to decorate the joints of the canvases, and adjust the stripes according to the drawing. You can not install such wallpaper by yourself, most likely, it will be necessary to perform the work for specialists, which will increase the cost of repairs.
• The finish surface absorbs odors. Of course, for the kitchen this factor is very unfavorable.

Important! If you decide on this type of cover, then be sure to equip the kitchen with a powerful ventilation system.

• And the last - very high cost of finishing material.

Wall Murals

Choose wallpaper for the kitchen can be from the latest achievements in the field of construction finishes. An example are the modern glassworks, which are made from a mixture of soda, quartz sand, lime, dolomite, as well as binding elements.

Glass-fiber furnish for the kitchen is of two types:

1. Glass-fiber. The weaving of this variety is characterized by its texture and is used for the final decoration of the walls.
2. "Web".The task of this coating is to smooth the plane of the walls and reinforce the effect of the surface, in appearance it is similar to a smooth cloth. The density of the "spider" is lower than that of the canvas.

Important! Steklooboi white and designed for painting. Their high quality allows you to apply paint about 10-15 times.

The wallpaper in a glass fiber dining room is a practical and unimaginably stylish solution. The quality and design of the decoration impress with its originality and remarkable decorative properties. The only drawback is only a significant price of the material.

This type of wallpaper refers to the category of decorative plaster, and the advantages of its use are:

• A great way to hide the uneven plane of the walls.
• Finishing does not burn under the sun.
• Good service life. Manufacturers guarantee at least 10 years of operation.

• Affordable price.

If you have already caught fire to choose wallpaper for the kitchen of this kind, then consider these nuances of the canvas:

• Liquid wallpaper is not meant for finishing the entire kitchen area. Work out the working zone with other, more practical, materials.
• To improve the performance of the liquid coating, additional processing is required.

Important! In order that the liquid wallpaper could withstand moisture, various odors and impurities, special treatment of their surface will be required. A protective layer of lacquer on acrylic base will make the canvas suitable for the kitchen, and it can even be washed.

• The optimal reception will be the zoning of the kitchen and the finishing of the dining area with this type of wallpaper, in which case they will not even need to be specially varnished.

And yet, this kind of finish has its drawbacks:

• It is afraid of moisture. Under the influence of water, the wallpaper spreads and loses its structure. The best way to care is to vacuum the surface.
• Due to metal parts in the walls, fittings and nails, it is possible to oxidize them and create yellow spots on the wallpaper.
• Partial replacement of the canvas may not be entirely successful, since the new fragment will visually be darker.
• The design of the kitchen with wallpaper requires some skill and experience. In particular, it is required to be well controlled with a spatula at a certain angle and with an appropriate pressure.
• The density of the mixture, as well as the defects in the plane of the walls, increase the consumption of the material.

Conclusions

Obviously, the design of wallpaper for the kitchen, primarily due to their type. Based on the above information, we can conclude:

1. Paper, acrylic, liquid and textile linens - the least suitable and more whimsical in the kitchen. This does not prohibit their use, but only imposes certain features of exploitation.
2. The best, and perhaps the most popular types are vinyl and non-woven finishes.
3. More expensive, but high-quality options are glass walls.
