Coffee wallpaper: 6 companion shades and 4 design styles

Most people on the planet are avid coffee drinkers. And what could be more pleasant for such a person than a picture with his favorite aromatic coffee.

It is not surprising that coffee-themed kitchen wallpaper became popular so quickly and has not lost ground for several decades. On the contrary, new coffee trends, design directions, modern technologies and materials are emerging.

To properly decorate a kitchen in a coffee style, you need to know some nuances, understand the themes and take into account the features of the room itself.

Types of wallpaper

A very important factor is the choice of the right material, that is, wallpaper. After all, the kitchen is the most complex room in the house. Here the humidity level is constantly changing, the temperature often rises, and in different parts of the room it can differ significantly; it is in the kitchen that the risk of mechanical, thermal and chemical damage to the walls is highest.

To withstand all these conditions, wallpaper for the kitchen must be:

• moisture resistant;
• have the ability to withstand slight increases in temperature;
• be able to “breathe” so that mold and mildew do not develop under the wallpaper;
• tolerates cleaning and washing well, even with chemical cleaning agents;
• easy to glue and quickly dismantle;
• do not fade under the influence of temperatures and sunlight;
• have sufficient strength not to be damaged by mechanical influences.

Of the wallpapers that exist today, vinyl coverings are most suitable for kitchen walls. The basis of such wallpaper is paper or non-woven fabric, which allows the walls to “breathe”, and the outer layer is glossy or textured polyvinyl chloride.

The versatility of PVC allows us to produce a wide variety of wallpapers for the kitchen:

• textured;
• embossed;
• washable;
• imitating stone, wood and other materials;
• intended for painting;
• plain and multi-colored;
• photo wallpaper with a flat or three-dimensional image.

Advice! When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen, it is still better to give preference to smoother coatings. Dust and other debris often accumulate in the narrow recesses of textured wallpaper - making them more difficult to clean and wash.

What to do in the kitchen in cappuccino color

It is not necessary to decorate the entire kitchen in cappuccino shades; it is enough to limit yourself to one or several large items.

This will fill the interior with the warmth and softness of “delicious” coffee tones, but at the same time help avoid monotony in the design of the room.

Kitchen set

Kitchen sets are often placed in one or two rows. There is no need to try to choose one-color furniture. The kitchen set will look more interesting if it combines light and darker coffee or brownish shades.

It is also acceptable to combine shades of cappuccino with other, brighter and more saturated colors, for example, greenish or purple.

Coffee tones look best in gloss: they visually expand the space and make the kitchen interior more stylish and interesting.

IMPORTANT! A cappuccino-colored kitchen set can be made in any style, but it should be noted that modern plastic furniture will look better in gloss.

If the kitchen is decorated in a classic style, then a matte wood set is best suited, which in some cases will be appropriate to “age” a little due to artificial abrasions.

There are several ways to place sectional furniture in cappuccino color:

In one line. All sections are displayed along one wall, while the upper cabinets can be replaced with hanging shelves, which will look especially good in a room decorated in Scandinavian or country styles.

Angle. The L-shaped layout allows you to use the kitchen space quite efficiently. Often, a continuation of such a module is a bar counter, which is placed along the window.

Island layout. Only suitable for kitchens larger than 20 square meters. In such a spacious room, some of the work surfaces and household appliances can be placed in a separate block, which can be used as a partition if it is necessary to separate the kitchen from the adjacent dining room.

U-shaped. This layout allows for the most efficient use of space. Typically, a U-shaped set is located along three walls in a room. There is also a corner layout option, complemented by a bar counter on the side.

Parallel layout. Furniture is placed in two rows along opposite walls. This arrangement of modules allows for a rational distribution of kitchen appliances, but a parallel layout is only suitable for spacious rooms.

Curtains

You need to select cappuccino-colored curtains so that their tone is close to the shade of the kitchen set and walls. The fabric can be either natural or artificial; when choosing it, you need to proceed from the style of the room.

Patterned curtains go better with plain walls. If patterned wallpaper was used when decorating the kitchen, then single-color curtains will be an ideal complement to them.

IMPORTANT! It is recommended to select the design on the textiles in accordance with the overall style of the kitchen, but the less noticeable it is, the more elegant the interior will look.

Modern trends allow the use of materials with large abstract patterns, but cappuccino-colored curtains with small patterns look more advantageous.

Wallpaper

When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen, you should give preference to washable ones, preferably glass or non-woven. The fashionable “liquid wallpaper” in the cappuccino shade should be abandoned: they absorb moisture too much, swell and quickly become unusable.

The surface of the walls can be either smooth and one-color, or textured or patterned. However, you need to take into account that wallpaper with a large pattern is not suitable for a kitchen in a coffee color scheme; according to designers, compositions placed in squares, as well as bright flowers, are especially unsuccessful.

IMPORTANT! Recently, it has become fashionable to combine coffee-with-milk wallpaper with artificial or natural stone inserts, as well as wooden panels, which are placed in the room as large accents.

Apron

A cappuccino-colored kitchen apron can be made from a variety of materials: ceramic tiles, tiles, glass, mosaics, natural or artificial stone.

Glass aprons with themed photo printing fit well into modern and many classic styles. Most often, they depict freshly brewed coffee with various spices or sweets served with it.

Aprons with landscapes or reproductions of paintings also look good, especially if they are complemented by a frame of relief inserts that create an imitation of stone or brickwork.

The most popular coffee aprons are made of ceramic or tiles.

They are beautiful, durable and quite practical; in addition, such an apron fits into almost any interior design style.

Kitchen aprons made of natural or artificial stone in a cappuccino shade are also beautiful and durable, however, due to the textured surface, they are somewhat more difficult to care for than smooth ceramic tiles.

Coffee-themed directions

Coffee wallpaper is not just wall coverings made in coffee shades. Such wallpaper should depict the drink itself or direct reminders of it.

It can be:

1. Coffee beans.
2. Coffee cups, Turks, coffee machines and coffee makers, other utensils and paraphernalia for preparing an invigorating drink.
3. Inscriptions with the names of coffee varieties (mocha, Arabica and others) or drinks based on it (cappuccino, Americano, latte and others).
4. Bags or boxes of coffee.
5. Romantic attributes of a coffee ceremony (flowers, sweets, etc.).

Important! Scientists have proven that the sight of coffee beans or just a cup of coffee stimulates the awakening of the body, contributes to a surge of vigor and strength.

Wallpaper with a small coffee pattern

Such wallpaper can depict the coffee beans themselves, dishes or the names of coffee varieties (drinks). The main feature of such wallpaper for the kitchen is the small format of the patterns.

Such wallpaper with a small coffee pattern can be used to decorate the walls of a small kitchen or combined with photo wallpaper, creating a unique design in the room.

Wallpaper with small repeating images of coffee appeared the very first - this is exactly the decor that was on paper canvases, which were varnished and called super-washable.

The modern interpretation of coffee-style wallpaper looks a little different - now it is a luxurious vinyl covering with an embossed or textured pattern.

If you need a calm atmosphere in the kitchen, conducive to quiet family evenings and peace, then wallpaper with a small coffee pattern is what you need. It is better to choose wallpaper in soft shades, in pastel, slightly watercolor, tones. Let them depict steaming cups of coffee, a scattering of grains, bags, Turks, or simply inscriptions on this topic.

Such wallpapers are perfectly combined with plain coverings, embossed wallpaper in soothing shades, wood panels or ceramic tiles.

Attention! You should not cover all the walls in the kitchen with the same type of wallpaper with a small pattern - this will make the room seem rustic. Kitchens with combined wall coverings look much more interesting.

You can complement the interior with furniture made of natural wood, veneer, and rattan. The decoration of the kitchen will be figurines made of birch bark, straw, and wood.

Powdery shades are in trend today, so you can dilute standard coffee colors with pale pink, beige, and sand.

The latest fashion trend in the coffee theme is the production of posters in a retro style using coffee paraphernalia. No less interesting is the design method in the style of a newspaper or glossy magazine. This method is perfect for modern styles in the spirit of minimalism.

Basic rules of the coffee theme

Photo wallpapers with excessively large patterns are used only in large kitchens.

When using a coffee theme, take into account that overly large, wide-format designs on wallpaper or photo wallpaper make a small room even cramped, while too contrasting ones, decorated in cool colors, make it darker. For small rooms, choose the lightest option, with a small, discreet pattern. A spacious, well-lit kitchen can be decorated in darker colors.

Coffee is considered a noble drink, so prints with it should not be excessive or intrusive. It is not advisable to duplicate the picture on the walls on other objects - curtains, pieces of furniture. The exception is photo wallpaper placed on one of the walls, a few volumetric decor, in the form of jars of coffee and souvenirs made from it.

Using photo wallpaper you can visually adjust the height of the room.

Using coffee wallpaper, you can carefully adjust the height of the room by choosing an option where the dark fragments are arranged in the form of vertical stripes. The height of the room will visually become a little larger. If the opposite effect is required, the stripes are chosen horizontal.

Coffee beans on wallpaper

This refers to photo wallpapers with coffee beans depicted. Moreover, most often these are macro-grains, much enlarged compared to their natural sizes. It is important to understand that giant coffee beans will not be able to decorate a small, cramped kitchen. In order to properly examine and perceive such a drawing, it is necessary to move away a considerable distance.

The method that involves covering an entire wall with wallpaper with thickly scattered coffee beans is also not suitable for small kitchens. It is better to arrange such photographic canvases in stripes, combining them with plain wallpaper of similar “temperature” colors.

Important! Warm, muted tones are considered close to the brown color of coffee: yellow, olive, beige, pink. Although a cool blue color will also look great in tandem with the dark brown shade of fresh coffee beans.

The best purpose for photo wallpaper with giant grains is to accent a wall or part of it. It could also be a kitchen apron. But, in this case, it is equally important to choose durable wallpaper that can withstand mechanical, thermal loads and direct contact with water.

When choosing a shade for furniture and other interior items, you need to play with contrasts. Suitable beans for dark brown color are:

• white – bright contrast;
• beige is a softer combination;
• golden – rich, luxurious tandem;
• blue is a risky but very effective combination;
• olive or pistachio are an excellent option for a non-standard kitchen that differs from the usual color schemes.

Advice! For novice designers, all shades of brown would be a more suitable solution - they all go well with the color of coffee beans.

Stylish examples from designers

Coffee-themed wallpaper can be combined well with plain wallpaper and furniture that is similar in color.

Designers recommend choosing wallpapers for the kitchen with a pattern in the form of coffee beans, coffee cups and other similar prints that are not too dark. This is especially important if the coating is not placed on one wall, but covers almost all vertical surfaces of the room. In the photo, the kitchen apron covered with coffee vinyl wallpaper looks great.

A coffee-themed kitchen apron looks very nice.

Coffee prints vary greatly between styles:

• classic - the drawing is not too bright, not excessive, it is something like neat repeating still lifes on a coffee theme;
• minimalism – photo wallpaper with a cup of coffee on the accent wall, no additional room decor;
• retro – “coffee” motifs are interspersed with yellowish “newspaper” fragments; coffee jars, an old coffee mill, a Turk, etc. are present as decorative additions;
• colonial - associated with hot Africa, there are many “warm” contrasts in reddish-brown tones, coffee beans inscribed in a rough abstraction are ideal;
• modern - inscriptions, geographical maps, and plot paintings are “laid out” on the wallpaper from coffee beans;

Tip: huge coffee beans covering an entire wall look good on the far wall of an elongated room - in a small room there is not enough perspective to contemplate them.

Wallpaper with a steaming cup of coffee

A steaming cup of coffee made to cover the entire wall looks very extravagant. For such an interior, the same rules apply as with giant grains - the room should be spacious and bright.

In small kitchens, you can use fragments and paste over only part of the wall, a niche or a ledge with pictures of a coffee cup.

It is necessary to take into account that there is no need to place small objects against the background of a huge cup: dishes, decor. Let this wallpaper be used to cover the wall in the recreation area, with sofas, armchairs, table and chairs.

You can choose not only a standard coffee cup as kitchen wall decor. Today you can find more avant-garde designer solutions on sale: from a glass of latte, iced coffee cubes, flows of milk, cream and melted chocolate to contrasting splashes, a mix with juicy fruits, fresh juices, cinnamon and mint.

The theme can be continued by developing it in textiles, decorative items, and dishes. Let curtains and furniture facades be decorated with small cups or grains. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the kitchen will look untidy and create the impression of a cluttered space. A couple of decorative additions are quite enough.

What to combine with coffee-style wallpaper

To prevent the kitchen from looking too gloomy in the brown tones of natural coffee, wallpaper must be combined with lighter materials and coatings.

Today it is fashionable to combine stripes, checks, newspaper format, and stylized “antiquity”.

You can dilute the brown palette with similar tones by choosing furniture in light shades (powdery, beige, white or ivory). Pink, yellow, ocher, and olive are suitable as decor. These calm tones can be used for the rest of the walls, window curtains, tablecloths or chair covers.

The combination of coffee color with a rich green tint looks very unusual and fresh. You can “paint” the sofa from the seating area, chairs, and kitchen furniture in a bright color. An addition to such an interior will be fresh flowers in beautiful vases and pots - natural greenery will dilute the too sharp contrast between green and brown colors.

Some design tips

Photo wallpapers that completely cover one of the free walls look original and bright. This creates a contrasting accent. When two types of coverings with different images, but on the theme of coffee, alternate in one room, then on some the design is large, colorful, on others – small, inconspicuous.

Coffee is associated with cheerfulness, warmth and comfort, so a coffee theme is perfect for the kitchen space.

Photo wallpapers with coffee can be ordered at one of the “copy centers”, where there is equipment for large-format printing. The specific design and main background color are chosen by the customer himself. The most commonly chosen color options are:

• refreshing snow-white;
• luxurious gold;
• unobtrusive flesh pink;
• natural pistachio green, khaki;
• romantic blue-gray;
• soft and discreet beige;
• delicate gradients in light coffee tones.

Tip: pastel colors look very advantageous with coffee print, but it is not recommended to use more than three shades at the same time.

“Coffee” walls are a good solution for a kitchen of any size, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They help residents to cheer up in the morning and be energetic throughout the day. The more correctly the wallpaper is selected and applied, the longer it will last, maintaining its beautiful appearance.
