Wall decoration near the dining table

It is desirable to distinguish the dining area from the working area, without disturbing the general style. Materials used are those that do not get dirty or easy to clean. Although, if desired, the finish can be any: decorative plaster, textiles, bricks, vinyl, washable and wall-papers, wooden lining, mirror tiles, painted surface. It is interesting to separate the dining area wall decoration with a call to the ceiling. The color may be darker or lighter than the main tone set in the interior. Less often, the zone is accented, and a completely different color is chosen.

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 colored in any color. From other original variants it is possible to note decorative art concrete and a coating with the effect of craquelure. Very nice in the kitchen looks "Venetian". The business card of the cover is a smooth surface that shimmers in the light with a pearl shine. Modern mixtures have antiseptic and fungicidal elements in the composition, so they prevent the formation of mildew 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.

Textured plaster is rarely used on all walls. Usually it gives off one wall or a dining area. Decorative plaster can be used to trim the working wall, and on top to cover it with transparent glass. In addition, it is customary to supplement plaster with other decorative elements: artificial stone, decorative brick. The most suitable solution is in the style of minimalism, loft, shebbie-chic, country.

It is impossible to say which decorative plaster for the kitchen will be better. Everything depends on the interior and personal preferences. Those who are going to make cosmetics, it is worth considering that it is very difficult to remove. It is literally cut from the wall by a bulgarian and a puncher. And it is almost impossible to apply it beautifully without experience.

       

Staining of walls

The painted surface can be used in the kitchen in almost any style. Preference is given to washing colors, 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. On how much it will be even depends on the final result.

Colors are matte, glossy, monophonic, gradient. With the help of paint and stencil, you can create the most incredible drawings on the wall. The paint can be divided into the lower part of the wall at a level of 2/3 of the floor, and also completely paint the surface to the ceiling.

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

       

How to Wallpaper

The wallpaper is not used on the 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 fiberglass wallpaper. Many of them can be painted and can withstand 6-7 updates. One of the popular types of vinyl wallpaper is silkscreen. The pattern is distinguished by a pleasant silk shine and does not fade for a long time in the sun. With the help of fiberglass wallpaper you can create a beautiful texture or a perfectly flat surface.

Luxury textile wallpaper with embossment perfectly complement the wood. Silvery 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 atmosphere and bring individuality. Wallpaper can be an inconspicuous addition to the interior or a key accent.

Photo wallpapers once were in every apartment and apparently so fed up that today they are not paid much attention. In addition, the price of such finishing a bit bites. In defense of modern photo printing is to say that in a small room panoramic images look great, they decorate and visually increase space, performing the role of "window".

Wallpaper can be combined if they belong to the same segment, and differ only in color and pattern. For this purpose, manufacturers produce line-ups of companion models. Most often plant decorations are complemented by stripes. The wallpaper may not match the color of the facade, but must necessarily be in harmony with it. Bright, with an unusual pattern, they will dilute the monochrome setting. Very unusual looks patchwork technique. It is one of the most difficult to perform, but the result is impressive. The finish of the wall looks like a patchwork quilt.

       

Interior with tiles

Tiles are most often used in the work area. This is an excellent solution for cladding an apron. On the walls of the kitchen tile is used carefully, so as not to turn the room into a kind of bathroom. For this reason, the material is very rarely used for facing free walls, but still in some designs is present. The tiles must correspond to modern design, ceramic often goes to the background, giving way to granite and glass.

For walls in the kitchen is more suitable tile, imitating wood or 3D with an interesting three-dimensional texture. The size of the tile should correspond to the area of ​​the room. In small rooms is not very good looking tiles of a huge size, and in large kitchens on the contrary, small will not be the best choice.

With the help of tiles imitate a masonry or a wooden lining. A real tile decoration can be a tile panel. Very interesting in the rural interiors look like a patchwork in the style.

       

Mirror tiles in the interior design

Modern mirror surfaces are made on the basis of acrylic, glass and polystyrene, which is also called a mirror plastic. The role of the mirror in the room is enormous. It visually increases 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.

Leaf panels are most often used for decorating furniture facades or kitchen aprons. By the way, the mirror apron is original, but not very popular. In addition to the unusual appearance and visual enhancement of the kitchen, he has no more pluses. The disadvantage of low practicality, such an apron is easy to damage, it will be difficult to keep clean, misted up it 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 just in time.

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

Important! Use mirrors in the interior should be careful. Some people find it hard to stay in a room with a large surface reflecting surface.

       

Wall panels, PVC and MDF panels

The wall panel does not have to be a masterpiece. This is just a decorative spot for giving the finishing touch. It can be any shape, size, made of a wide variety of materials. In the role of the panel in the kitchen is a tissue applique, embroidery, graphic images, wooden, ceramic, mosaic paintings, metal sculpture, stucco molding or textured plaster, 3D panels. The panel can be capital when, for example, gypsum panels are mounted on a wall, or removable.

The main thing that you need to take into account is the kitchen functional rooms, particles of fat settle on the surfaces, so the decor elements should be easily cleaned or discarded after contamination. Have a decor in the place that they want to visually highlight. This may be an apron, a dining area, a wall at the bar counter.

Have a decor in the place that they want to visually highlight. This may be an apron, a dining area, a wall at the bar counter.

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

We can not fail to mention the panels of PVC or MDF, which have recently been increasingly used for finishing the walls of kitchens. In appearance and method of installation, they resemble plastic lining, but are more durable. External appearance of a quality imitate wood.

You can mount them both horizontally and vertically.

Paintings and accessories

Anyone who has never wondered about the decor of the kitchen seriously, for certain will be surprised how many options there are. First of all, it is, perhaps, pictures and wall clocks. An honorable second is the dishes: decorative plates on the wall or shelves, clay utensils, a beautiful service behind glass facades.

The decoration of the kitchen can be anything, including children's hand-made articles. Often, craftsmen make the decor with their own hands. On the Internet, you can find many master classes to decorate bottles, cups, chairs and windows. On the kitchen sill, there may be room for fresh flowers. Very interesting are the gardens of succulents, which are often decorated with small fairy houses made of natural materials.

Of course, the decor should match the general style of the interior. If the kitchen is the embodiment of hi-tech, then it is unlikely to be appropriate garlic knots and colored still lifes. But a good addition will be an abstract painting or a forged holder for wine glasses and wine bottles.

Kitchen Accessories - this is a whole world of adaptations designed to make life easier for the hostess. They make the situation more practical and functional. These are dispensers for soap, detergents and food products, cutting boards, baskets, a washer for the sink, pallets, trash cans, bread dispensers, instrument trays, dish baskets and of course railing.

Decorating with modular paintings

Modular paintings, they are polyptychs, are created by dividing the image into several separate parts. They appeared relatively recently, but due to their originality and low cost, they quickly became popular. For the kitchen, you can choose an already finished picture or print any selected picture. The image can be transferred to canvas photo paper, wood, glass. Also it can be aged using a special gel-craquelure.

Modular paintings in the interior of the kitchen should be used correctly, then they will be helpers, not pests. Select the decor in accordance with the dimensions of the room. Small posters look on narrow walls, and large ones on wide and high. The width of the picture is not more than 75% of the furniture under it. The theme should complement the interior, create a mood. For the kitchen most often choose images of flowers, fruits, landscapes. The most popular modular paintings consist of several parts that are placed horizontally, but there are also more complex models combining several forms. The most harmonious is the picture with an odd number of elements.

They hang them according to the same rules as ordinary canvases: the central point is at eye level. For the dining area you can make an exception: hang the picture a bit lower.

       

Stickers in design

Kitchen stickers - a great way to diversify the interior, without exerting much effort and material costs. Usually they are used when you need to highlight some part of the kitchen, making it a bright accent, disguise the damage on the furniture or wall, to update the interior. Most modern labels look like surfaces on a surface, due to the fact that they do not have their own background.

Preference should be given to high-quality vinyl stickers. Regardless of the place of application, after removal, they leave no traces on the surface (except for paper wallpapers). Stickers are easy to glue on their own, following the instructions.

Vinyl stickers for the kitchen usually decorate:

• Painted walls, wallpaper, tiles;
• Window Glass;
• Fridge;
• Kitchen cabinets;
• Apron;
• Doors.

If you liked the idea with stickers, and you are going to implement it, pay attention to a few tips:

• The sticker will stick even on the embossed surface, but it looks better on the smooth surface. Before gluing, the area under the sticker should be washed and degreased.
• When the sticker adorns the texture surface, it can be heated up with a hairdryer to better take the relief. If the sticker needs to cover the damage, the surface must first be leveled. Otherwise, the thin film will emphasize what they tried so hard to hide.
• That the sticker is better removed, it should be warmed up by a hair dryer.

       

Stickers for the kitchen are very diverse: small and large, black and white and color, single or a series of drawings of the same theme.
