Tile
Wall tiling is the most common type of wall decoration in the kitchen. No wonder this method has become popular, because such a coating is quite easy to care for. In addition, manufacturers offer various options for ceramics, which differ in texture, design, colors, dimensions and shape of the elements.
When decorating the apron area with tiles, you can not worry about the effects of moisture on the material, as well as the ingress of dirt on the surface - it is quite easy to remove. In the photo, the apron is decorated with a boar tile.
Square shape tiles in contrasting colors. Chaotic layout looks interesting and unusual.
In this case, we used a diagonal layout (at a 45-degree angle) and three tones in a warm range that goes well with a vanilla-hued headset.
Ultramarine tile boar in wall decoration. In combination with country-style furniture, this tile emphasizes the modern mood in the interior.
In this case, glossy ceramics (or glazed) were chosen. Each element of such material is covered with a thin layer of glass. The surface of the backsplash reflects artificial and natural light, visually expanding the boundaries in a small room.
Choose materials with a smooth surface that does not have three-dimensional patterns. Dirt will not linger on such elements, clogging into miniature details of the relief.
Matte (unglazed) tiles were chosen for facing the apron. With the help of a matte material, the floor surface is often created.
Square tiles 10x10 cm with a rectangular layout between the tiers of the headset. Porcelain stoneware, which is shaped like a honeycomb, was chosen for the floor.
3D tiles go well with the neoclassical interior of the room. The floor is tiled with marbled porcelain stoneware with a decorative panel in the center of the room.
The shades of large-format tiles repeat the colors of the facades and countertops, due to which the whole composition looks quite harmonious in design and tone.
Intense green facades are set off by light tiles with a diagonal layout.
What wallpaper is suitable for the kitchen?
When choosing wallpaper for finishing the kitchen, you should remember the specifics of the room. The material must be resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, non-staining, withstand moderate mechanical deformations and match the general style. They must be attractive, even under the influence of soot, fat and soot, because such conditions are difficult to neutralize during the cooking process.
The design can be neutral, or, conversely, create a color accent in the room, attracting maximum attention.
Depending on personal preferences and the budget planned for repairs, you can choose paper, vinyl, non-woven, bamboo, liquid, textile, glass or photo wallpapers.
The method of decorating walls with wallpaper is quite popular. Most often, this type of finish is combined with tiles, decorating them with walls near the working area.
Photo printing with a spectacular image of food increases appetite and creates a themed atmosphere in the common space.
The beige background of the walls supports not only the tone of furniture and textiles, but also the laminate.
When choosing paper material, specify the parameters of resistance to high levels of humidity, otherwise experts do not recommend using such a finish for the kitchen.
Professionals often prefer vinyl coating. This method of finishing is the most practical, due to the stable top layer - polyvinyl chloride, which prevents contamination and damage to the canvases. In addition, the stores offer a large selection of textures, among which you can find the desired option. This choice will allow you to make cosmetic repairs in the room less often than once every 2-3 years.
