The greatest variety of themes of such decorative stickers will realize our most daring ideas for decorating the kitchen.
Advantages
- Modern vinyl wall stickers, designed specifically as decor, will allow you to quickly and brightly revive your interior without the strong odors of paint and excess dirt.
- The instructions for them claim that they are also unpretentious in care: they are made of modern waterproof film, so they are often glued even in damp bathrooms or loggias.
- Inexpensive stickers of any size with stylish drawings-elements we can change whenever and as much as you like.
- The technique for gluing them is simple: cut out and place the pictures as we like.
Note! By gluing the drawings on the furniture or door, we will create a harmonious design ensemble in the kitchen.
- Drawings on the wall in the kitchen will become exclusive if we combine 2 - 3 types of them with a similar theme. This is already our masterpiece!
- A very interesting collage of wildflowers, rainbows, and butterflies.
The beginning and end of the day should be as successful as possible.
The dining room immediately comes to mind - here we find aromatic coffee and toast in the morning, inspiring unexpected discoveries. We have a delicious dinner, sharing with loved ones how our day went. The atmosphere in the room where everyone is having a meal is designed to be as calm as possible. Therefore, many ladies pay special attention to bright glass, cork or plastic aprons (a solid canvas located on the wall above the work area), while others are directly attracted to cabinets with images or appliqués.
Design assistance
Artistic creativity of the master
Experienced designers and decorators will successfully select suitable beautiful designs for the kitchen wall. At the same time, they professionally take into account the degree of illumination of the wall by the window, its minor defects, unsuccessful previous repairs, deterioration of the room, and will even illusorily enlarge our kitchen.
A specialist will qualitatively apply both a large poster and a several times enlarged photograph.
Polymer film
The most budget option possible among photo printing. The peculiarity of this material is that the selected print is applied to a special film that has an adhesive side. Thus, having removed the protective layer, the film self-adheses to virtually any surface where it is needed.
The advantage of this method is that virtually any image can be applied to the film; there is the opportunity to choose a print from the proposed catalog, or use your own drawing or photograph.
The cost of this material is much lower, but it can significantly change the appearance of the kitchen, and the process of covering the entire kitchen will take only a couple of days.
Glass kitchens with photo printing are very popular. There are two possible methods, the first involves using glass as an independent material with photo printing applied to it. This method is of higher quality and more reliable, but is much more expensive.
The second option is simpler; it involves choosing a glass kitchen unit and covering it with regular printed film. This method is more budget-friendly, but less reliable and of higher quality than the first.
We draw on our own
By the way, independent decor of kitchen walls will most accurately realize our desires - after all, we are both the customer and the master performer. So, let's start drawing.
Wall decoration
Wall painting in floristry style
- Let's choose a drawing and estimate its correspondence to the interior and size of the kitchen.
Advice! The easiest way to achieve such harmony is through color matching: in a beige palette, drawings on the walls in the kitchen in warm colors are appropriate: brownish, yellow, golden.
- Now we translate the idea we like into a sketch to take into account all the details. This way, our drawing on the wall will no longer require unpleasant subsequent corrections.
- Then we will take measurements and sketch on the wall with a simple pencil.
- We will carefully select paints for our drawing that suit us in quality and color. They should not flow from the wall, smearing the design and causing smudges. Therefore, we will paint the drawing on the kitchen wall with good paint for wet rooms.
Advice! If the volume of the jar of the desired color is too large, you can add the required color to the white paint. Sometimes gouache is also used, but it is stable only when mixed with PVA glue.
Nowadays, hieroglyphs and cobweb patterns are very popular among famous designers - this is a very popular trend from the mysteriously philosophical east. We can apply such an intricate design on the wall in the kitchen ourselves, even without such talent.
A three-dimensional drawing will help to hide roughness and other defects of the wall: a still life, a landscape or individual fragments thereof.
Drawing – decor
Decorate the wall with a laconic design.
We learn how to make, guided by a video, a small wall decor in the kitchen.
- We apply the main color to the entire wall: the work is simple and does not require extreme care.
- Cut out a stencil of the pattern on film or cardboard.
- We attach it to the wall and paint it with specially selected high-quality paint.
- Let's achieve perfection: use white paint to draw a pattern over the already dry colored paint to give it texture. We do this again using the same stencil, but randomly touching it with a brush with white paint.
Another way: a modern and creative solution - we will use innovative technologies - we will make photocopies of the images you like, enlarge them and transfer them to cardboard. Then we will attach the drawings to the kitchen wall.
Patterned panels
Apron with a pattern
Modern plywood, laminated kitchen wall panels made of high-quality MDF material, spectacular and practical plexiglass, moisture-resistant plasterboard - these are the best decorative wall panels for the kitchen with a pattern.
Carvings
Carved versions of panels are successfully used in oriental stylish interiors.
- Laser cutting has reduced their cost and improved their grace.
- Mirror panels with an elegant, sophisticated design will visually expand the kitchen, making it airy and luxurious.
- An openwork panel will beautifully separate the dining area. Such a panel, superimposed on a contrasting or mirror base, amazes with its spectacular deep relief.
- A wall panel for the kitchen with a geometric pattern will not require much effort from us. Its rounded outlines will add softness and comfort to the interior, while its straight lines will add confidence and courage.
Advice! Let the advantage remain with light tones, and only the islands be bright. By the way, side light accentuates the relief on the panel more clearly.
Decorative 3D panels
3D coatings create a perfect image.
- A stylish design is applied to plastic environmentally friendly PVC panels with a thickness of 4 to 12 mm using innovative printing, then a high-quality and durable glossy coating (Read also the article about 3d photo wallpaper for the kitchen).
- Reusable installation, replacement of damaged parts, ease of maintenance, the possibility of architectural imitations of arches and columns on the wall have made this material the undisputed leader in sales.
- A delightful 3D effect, thermal insulation, strength, sound absorption and fire safety are the decisive advantages of the new product.
- The price of such a panel fully compensates for its beauty and exclusivity.
- We can install 3D panels directly on wood, concrete, brick. But first we install a profile on an uneven wall.
3d wallpaper for walls
This wallpaper is similar to photo wallpaper, but with a stunningly realistic picture.
- The pattern is enhanced by BLB ultraviolet lamps, but it looks advantageous only in large rooms - in small rooms this innovative effect is lost.
- Fluorescent wallpapers delight us with a three-dimensional picture during the day, and in the dark they seem to glow from within.
- Durable and fire-resistant polyester protects them from ultraviolet radiation, moisture and simplifies cleaning from dirt.
- We attach the 3d wallpaper with glue for heavy vinyl, adding PVA (1:10).
Types of photo printing on kitchen facades
Kitchens with photo printing on facades are made today in two ways:
- A simpler and, accordingly, cheaper method is the film method. The image is applied to an adhesive film, which is then transferred to any surface - glass, MDF, chipboard, plastic, etc. Whatever doors you choose, the cost of the design will be identical.
- Direct polymer printing is a more expensive, but also more durable option for image transfer. In this case, 3D facades are created by printing directly on the selected material. This can also be literally any surface, since the technology uses ultraviolet paints that harden under the influence of UV rays. Thanks to this, the quality of the pattern allows you to wash the surface as often as required by the use of the furniture.
However, for longer-term use of any image, it is recommended to additionally cover it with protective lamination, which, of course, increases the cost of the finished facades. If we talk about printing on glass, then it is advisable to apply the pattern on the reverse side: thanks to the transparency of the material, it will always be visible, but at the same time the 3D facades will remain inaccessible to either dirt or detergents.
Bottom line
As you can see, all of the above techniques have unlimited possibilities in creating originality in the overall style of the room. And we can make a drawing for the kitchen on the wall ourselves, turning this island of well-being and intimate communication into an aesthetic home restaurant.
