Kitchen Wallpaper Ideas | eHow UK

Wallpaper comes in many colours and designs. Self-adhesive wallpaper is easy and quick to put up and can be a fun weekend project. You ll first need to roll out a strip of wallpaper that is 2 to 4 inches longer on each side than the length you need. Make sure you measure the wall for exact dimensions. Moisten the back of the adhesive paper with water and apply it to the wall. Use a level to make sure the wallpaper is straight. Using a smoothing tool, flatten the wallpaper to avoid bubbles. Trim your paper and allow it to dry for at least 20 minutes. Repeat these steps until you have your room wallpapered. Remember to let the wallpaper dry at least 24 hours before hanging anything up on your wall.

Kitchen wallpaper is great way to update your space and create a new look for your kitchen. Because a kitchen is full of appliances and cooking items, try to match your pattern or colour with these items. Consider choosing a light-coloured wallpaper over a darker colour. This will open up the space. If you decide on a patterned wallpaper, consider a more contemporary floral pattern to create a modern and updated look. Try wallpapering one wall instead of the entire kitchen to create a focal point. Here you can choose a design you might have hesitated to use when applying it to every wall in your kitchen. If you have a china cabinet or open-style cabinets, consider wallpapering the back of the cabinets. Your dishes will stand out nicely against the design. Faux-style wallpaper creates the look of marble and comes in many different colours. It s a great way to update a kitchen without overwhelming the room. For a neutral kitchen, try beige and cream colours. For an extra pop, try a bright-coloured wallpaper border on a neutral-coloured wall.
