Most people assume they can’t use wallpaper in their kitchen when they’re thinking about how to redecorate it, but they would be wrong, as there are many ways to incorporate bold prints and patterns in the busiest room in the house.

Indeed, according to Living Etc plastering wallpaper in the kitchen is a big trend for 2022, saying: “Kitchen wallpaper ideas are having a bit of a moment.”

Though many homeowners avoid fitting wallpaper in the cooking area due to how much grease and moisture is often in the air, you can get around this by adding a panel of glass over the top of it.

Ideal Home suggested this as a way to “turn your kitchen wallpaper décor ideas into a stylish splashback”.

There is also the option of using wallpaper on kitchen walls that are further away from the food preparation area. For instance, they can be used to create feature walls in the dining part of the kitchen, as this will help separate the room to create distinct zones.

Wallpaper can also be used within glass cabinets or behind open shelving, with this trend having been incredibly popular over the last few years. This creates a big statement while the remainder of the room can stay neutral.

The publication also noted this is a “great solution for using wallpaper within [a] small kitchen”.

Though homeowners might be worried that wallpapering a small kitchen will make the space appear even tighter, this is not necessarily the case. Often, it can make them look bigger, as “the pattern blurs the edges of the room”, Living Etc commented.
