Not only are they more affordable, but they look great and are fairly easy to implement yourself. 

This time we’re talking about using wallpaper in your kitchen. You read that right – wallpaper in the kitchen becomes quite the star when used correctly. In this blog post, we’ll look at 6 creative ways how you can use wallpaper in your kitchen without breaking the bank but still making your interior goals come true.    

Wallpaper on cabinets

Kitchens are some of the busiest rooms at home. Whether we go there to grab a glass of water or prepare a 3-course meal, we spend more time in there every day than we probably think. There are many surfaces in the kitchen where wallpaper wouldn’t last very long, but luckily the kitchen cabinet isn’t one of them. Depending on the size of your kitchen, the kitchen cabinets take up a certain amount of all surfaces. Surfaces that we see all the time. So why not make them a little more fun to look at?

Wallpaper on cabinets, but with a twist

Another creative kitchen cabinet solution is covering only some parts of the cabinet. That will mostly depend on the type of cabinets you have. For example, you can apply contact paper to the inner part of the cabinet door and keep some of the original look. This method will make it look like the cabinets are made of two different materials and add texture and contrast to the space. You can find plenty of designs suitable for the kitchen and order the necessary amount here.

With countless designs available, from bold florals to funky geometrics, the options are endless. Wallpapering your fridge adds a splash of color and it is much more fun to look at!

Removable wallpaper allows you to think outside the box – you’re not limited to simple wall paint. Our wallpaper for accent walls comes in every color and pattern you can think of, and sometimes, a daring statement is just what your kitchen needs.

Even a few sheets of wallpaper can completely change how the space looks and feels. These types of home makeovers are especially convenient for rental spaces where you don’t want to invest too much but still want it to feel like home. Happy decorating!
