Decorative plaster

Modern decorative plaster can be perfectly smooth or rough, it allows you to create a surface that imitates fabric, paper, suede, metal, wood, stone, leather. It is painted in any color. Other original options include decorative art concrete and a craquelure effect coating. The Venetian looks very nice in the kitchen. The business card of the coating is a smooth surface that shimmers in the light with a pearl sheen. Modern mixtures have antiseptic and fungicidal elements in the composition, so they prevent the formation of mold in the kitchen.

Advice! Before decorating the walls of the kitchen with decorative plaster, it is advisable to see how it looks firsthand, and not in the photo.

Rose on the kitchen wall

Textured plaster is rarely used on all walls. Usually it highlights a single wall or dining area. You can decorate the working wall with decorative plaster, and close it with transparent glass from above. In addition, it is customary to supplement the plaster with other decorative elements: artificial stone, decorative brick. The most appropriate solution would be in the style of minimalism, loft, shabby chic, country.

It is impossible to say which decorative plaster for the kitchen will be better. It all depends on the interior and personal preferences. Those who are going to do makeup should consider that it is very difficult to remove. It is literally cut off from the wall by a grinder and a perforator. And it is almost impossible to apply it beautifully without experience.

Wall painting

The painted surface can be used in the kitchen in almost any style. Preference should be given to washing paints, for example, latex or silicone. After drying, a film forms on them, which protects against moisture and abrasion.It is important that the surface is well prepared before painting. The final result depends on how smooth it is.

Paints are matte, glossy, plain, gradient. Using paint and a stencil, you can create the most incredible drawings on the wall. Paint can highlight the bottom of the wall at a level 2/3 of the floor, as well as completely paint the surface to the ceiling.

TV on the wall

Advice! The mainstream of modern kitchens is the use of graphite paint on one wall. The surface becomes a kind of blackboard on which you can write notes, hang photos, draw.

What kind of wallpaper to paste

Wallpaper is not customary to use on a work surface, in the rest of the room they will be an excellent solution. For the kitchen, it is customary to choose washable vinyl, non-woven or glass wallpaper. Many of them can be painted and withstand 6-7 updates. One of the most popular types of vinyl wallpapers is silk screen printing. The drawing is characterized by a pleasant silk sheen and does not fade in the sun for a long time. With the help of fiberglass wallpaper you can create a beautiful texture or a perfectly flat surface.

Luxurious embossed textile wallpapers perfectly complement the wood. Silver shades will be reflected in the surface of household appliances or cladding. As for the drawings, the most popular are floral and floral ornaments. They refresh the traditional setting and bring personality. Wallpaper can be an inconspicuous complement to the interior or a key accent.

Mirror on the kitchen wall

Wall murals were once in every apartment and apparently so tired that today they pay little attention. In addition, the price of such a finish bites a little. In defense of modern photo printing, it is worth saying that in a small room, panoramic images look great, they decorate and visually increase the space, acting as a “window”.

Wallpaper can be combined if they belong to the same segment, and differ only in color and pattern. For these purposes, manufacturers produce a line of companion models. Most often, floral ornaments complement the stripes. Wallpaper may not match the color of the facade, but must certainly be in harmony with it. Bright, with an unusual pattern, they will dilute the monochrome decor. Patchwork technique looks very unusual. It is one of the most difficult to perform, but the result is impressive. The wall decoration looks like a patchwork quilt.

Tiled interior

Tiles are most often used in the work area. This is a great solution for cladding an apron. On the walls of the kitchen, tiles are used carefully so as not to turn the room into a kind of bathroom. For this reason, the material is very rarely used for wall cladding, but is still present in some designs. Tiles must comply with modern design, ceramic often goes by the wayside, giving way to porcelain stoneware and glass.

Clock over the table

For walls in the kitchen, tiles imitating wood or 3D with an interesting volumetric texture are more suitable. The dimensions of the tile should correspond to the area of ​​the room. In small rooms, tiles of a huge size do not look very good, but in large kitchens, on the contrary, small ones will not be the best choice.

Using tiles create an imitation of brickwork or wooden lining. A real decoration of the kitchen can be a tiled panel. In rustic interiors, patchwork-style cladding looks very interesting.

Mirror tiles in the interior design

Modern mirror surfaces are made on the basis of acrylic, glass and polystyrene, which is also called mirror plastic. The role of the mirror in the room is huge. It visually increases the space, enhances lighting, decorates and complements the interior.There are many materials with a mirror surface, and there are even more ways to use them in the design of the kitchen.

Sheet panels are most often used for decoration of furniture facades or kitchen aprons. By the way, a mirror apron is an original thing, but not very popular. In addition to the unusual appearance and visual increase in the kitchen, it has no more advantages. The lack of low practicality, such an apron is easy to damage, it will be difficult to keep clean, it foggy looks awful, and the amount of dirty dishes increases at least twice. What can not be said about the mirror surface at the bar, here it will come in handy.

Electric stove in the kitchen

The interior of the kitchen uses mirror mosaics, tiles of different sizes and shapes. In addition, the mirror can be ordinary, color, frosted, chrome, aged, with a pattern under the amalgam or sandblasted image.

Important! Use mirrors in the interior should be careful. Some people find it difficult to stay in a room with a reflective surface of a large area.

Wall panels, PVC and MDF panels

It can be an apron, a dining area, a wall at the bar.The main thing to consider is the kitchen is functional rooms, fat particles settle on the walls, so the elements of the panel should be easy to clean or thrown away after pollution.

Garden road on the wall

The panel does not have to be flat or abstract. It can be a three-dimensional picture of materials that are found in everyday life, but it is better if they are of a kitchen theme: plates, cups, pasta or a herbarium on a burlap in a frame. It can be decoupage on an eggshell, a letter made of wine corks, a picture of wood.

One cannot but mention the panels made of PVC or MDF, which have recently been increasingly used for decorating kitchen walls. In appearance and installation method, they resemble a plastic lining, but are more durable. Appearance qualitatively imitate a tree.

On the Internet you can find many workshops on decorating bottles, cups, chairs and windows.On the kitchen windowsill, there may be a place for fresh flowers. Gardens made of succulents look very interesting, which often decorate small fabulous houses made of natural materials.

Black furniture and colored chairs

Of course, the decor should be consistent with the overall style of the interior. If the kitchen is the epitome of high-tech, then garlic bundles and colored still lifes are unlikely to be appropriate in it. But a good addition would be an abstract picture or a forged holder for wine glasses and wine bottles.

Kitchen Accessories is a whole world of appliances designed to make life easier for the hostess. They make the environment more practical and functional. These are dispensers for soap, detergents and foodstuffs, cutting boards, baskets, washing counters, trays, bins, bread bins, instrument trays, dish baskets and of course roof rails.
