Choosing the design for the kitchen, you need to consider not only the beauty, but also the practicality of decoration. Indeed, in the kitchen there are differences in temperature and humidity, which affect the service life of the finish. In this article we will talk about different options for combining wallpaper in the kitchen.

Vertical Combination: Interior Design Examples

Not so often you can find in the kitchen combining wallpapers of different styles in a vertical version. It is great for kitchens with low ceilings. It also helps to change the proportions and sizes of the room. If the walls are elongated, then they can be moved visually. And if narrow - expand at any point.

You can combine wallpapers with symmetry and without it. If you choose symmetry, then use contrasting shades. In this style, you can make two opposite walls, and focus on the correct proportion of the kitchen.Asymmetry is used to transform the room visually. If it is narrow, then using this method it can be expanded. One wall is made out with wide wallpapers of bright colors, and the opposite - with bright stripes, which differ in size.

Horizontal option as an idea to create a beautiful design.

This combination is used for kitchens with high ceilings. If it is necessary to visually reduce the height of the ceiling, then it is necessary to divide the wall along the floor into two parts. Of course, this can be done with the help of wooden panels or plastic, but the wallpaper can emphasize the style of the room. However, they are much cheaper.

It should be noted: with horizontal combination, the use of wallpapers of different colors, textures or plots is allowed. But it is very important to leave at least a single detail that would connect these two halves. For example, it may be the same tone or plot.

Most often, horizontal alignments are made in a 1: 2 ratio, that is, the width of the lower part is greater than the width of the upper. But you can decorate the room as you like. The joints between the wallpaper can be sealed with a special decorative tape, moldings or borders.

Patchwork - the idea of ​​combined wallpaper on the wall of the kitchen

Patchwork is one way to combine. Most often, the idea is used in a country or ethno style. The canvases are cut with different rags and glued to the wall. Wallpaper can be with different patterns, their number should not be more than 3-4. In addition, you can buy ready-made wallpapers in this style. Their shades are selected based on the general style decision. Using this method, you can paste over the entire kitchen or one wall. Everything will depend on your courage. This idea is suitable for those who like different textures and color shades, but cannot choose a specific one.

The patchwork is suitable for creative individuals who like to transform their home and are ready to do all the work on their own (examples below).

Wall Mural Combination 

Wall murals are also a popular material for wall decoration, as there are a lot of options. Modern materials contain macro images of vegetation, birds, flying dandelions, etc., which are suitable for any design. If the kitchen is made in the classical style, then you can pick up photo murals with the image of an art gallery. In modern design, often used combined photo wallpaper with macro images of fruits, flowers, birds. In this case, you can opt for a simple headset, and pick up about the same images for the apron.

How to combine wallpaper in the kitchen

In order not to make a mistake with the choice of wallpaper and with a combination, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the methods that are presented below:

1. The first is a combination of one color, which is preferred most often. For it, you need to take two types of wallpaper with the same shades. But the drawings should be different. One wall is pasted over with a picture, and all the rest - with plain wallpaper. Also pay attention to a suitable ornament. It is from him that the final result will depend. A great option is to glue monophonic materials with vertical or horizontal stripes. To avoid overloading the interior, give preference to small and identical drawings.
2. The second is an accent wall. This method is often used by designers when they need to hide some structural protrusions and ventilation ducts. If you properly use two types of paintings, you can hide the flaws or turn them into advantages.

• The accent option looks originally when one wall is glued on the kitchen with wallpaper with an intricate pattern and a contrasting shade. This allows you to make the interior dynamic and memorable. It is recommended to maintain this style with various interior elements. For example, textiles made in the same gamut.
• For the main background, it is best to choose canvases of light colors - white or beige. Bright ones also look good, for example, yellow, orange, blue or lilac. At the same time, do not forget that the wallpaper should be combined with each other.
• You can use a combination with dark canvases. But solely to cover the accent area. You can choose a dark wallpaper with a large light ornament. Then the design idea will look beautiful.
• The original murals that depict a forest, a seashore, and a waterfall will look original.
• Bright canvases are best combined with calmer shades, and the contrast is maintained with the help of home decoration.

1. The third - inserts and rags of paintings. This option appeared not so long ago and is a new direction in the interior of the kitchen. The inserts decorated in a baguette look original. This technique allows you to hide some wall defects and hide niches. For the kitchen, it is best to choose inserts with floral patterns, geometric ornaments or with abstractions, as well as images on a kitchen motif on a plain background, which is non-standard decision.

Decoration design

We examined the options for creating an interior using a combination. But attention needs to be paid not only to canvases, but also to decor items that will help complete the style. That is why it is necessary to remember several rules:

• The combination of paintings requires a special attitude to all objects in the interior. Decorating can overload a room. Do not forget that everything should be combined and have something in common.
• If the kitchen has a division into zones, then it is necessary to consider the stylistic balance within these zones.
• If there is no zoning into zones, then you can make it one by using decoration. If one corner is decorated in bright and catchy shades, then you need to balance it - set the decor elements in the same corner in the same color. You can use furniture, appliances, paintings, figurines, a table or a floor lamp.
• Textiles should not get out of style. If the kitchen uses a combination of wallpapers of similar shades, then you can choose textiles in other colors. If the interior uses a contrasting combination, then it should have one of these shades. Usually preference is given to the brightest or least common.

Combining canvases requires a creative approach. If you manage to choose the most successful of all, then you can make a wonderful room out of the kitchen.

There are several options for combining wallpapers. You need to choose no more than 4 colors for decoration. You can also combine combination with photo wallpaper that amaze with its images.

Any kitchen can be turned into a cozy and beautiful place, it is enough to have imagination and ingenuity.
