So:

  • When the kitchen is wet-cleaned, they wash not only the floor, but also the walls. In this case, it is important that they are moisture resistant. Every day we spend time in the kitchen. And when we cook, fat, oil, juice and other ingredients that destructively affect the wallpaper can get on the walls.
  • It often happens that due to the low quality of the glued wallpaper, you have to deal again kitchen repair. But if you stick moisture-proof wallpaper, you can count on their long service. You can easily get rid of light pollution using just a damp sponge. Even if you have a larger-scale cleaning with the participation of washing agents, moisture-proof wallpapers will be able to withstand cleaning with a rag and a brush.

Attention: The quality of the wallpaper implies density, strength and durability. At a high level of density, you can forget about the dirt that usually accumulates in the pores.

  • The appearance of the kitchen is an equally important factor, because it also affects your appetite. Particular attention is paid to light fastness, because the sun can ruin the color of your wallpaper. Very often, poor quality wallpaper in the sun can burn out. After that, the attractiveness of the appearance of the kitchen is dramatically lost. So you have to deal with repairs in order to resume the aesthetics of the room itself. It is worth noting that with a poor form of wallpaper and furniture rearrangement will be useless.
  • It is important that the wallpaper is vapor permeable. In this case, the walls will quickly dry out, and the microclimate will be normal. Also, wallpapers can be selected for painting. Very effective when they can be painted several times.
  • When buying a product in a store, pay attention to its labeling. If a wave is depicted, then the wallpaper is moisture resistant. The grille icon ensures that you are not afraid of mechanical damage.
  • Now on the market there is a fairly large selection of modern goods, from which it is simply breathtaking. Domestic and foreign manufacturers offer high-quality wallpapers that can last more than one year. At the same time, you can choose the right style for your kitchen. But often with such a wide range of finishing materials it is very difficult to make the right choice.

Attention: It is worth forgetting about the paper type of wallpaper forever. Yes, this type of finishing material is much cheaper, but the quality is just below the norm. Short life will make you constantly spend money on new wallpaper options. In other words, if paper wallpapers were glued in the kitchen today, tomorrow you will have to make a new repair.

You can stick a better quality wallpaper. For example, wallpapers made of cotton, linen, silk, bamboo, trees, leaves and herbs look extremely effective. But they absorb so much smoke, fumes and odors that over time their level of effectiveness will drop sharply.

Embossed and corrugated wallpaper is also not the best option.Their outlines will darken in a short time, and later the black coating and the detergent can not be washed.

  • In the case when the room is small, it is better to choose light colors and small drawings.
  • If the kitchen is not on the sunny side, then it is best to glue wallpapers with warm colors: orange, yellow and white.
  • The colder colors are used on the south side: green, blue, blue and gray.
  • If you want a universal option, try combining the wallpaper. In this way, your kitchen will not be similar to any other author's designs.

It can be equipped with different patterns, pictures, ornaments and other plots. A very prestigious look is obtained when there is a solid color on one wall and the same color on the other, only together with the ornament.
