Ways for Your Designer to Add Wallpapers to Your Kitchen Space
Kitchen Remodeling Sep 11

Wallpapers are a great way of adding character, color, and pattern to a space. As larger spaces incorporate smart appliances, wallpapers come in handy to add glamor to otherwise bland spaces. Today, designers are all about creating functional spaces as the kitchen space functions as the dining and the cooking area. Thus, careful thought should be given as to the color scheme and area where the wallpaper should be installed. It can be confined to the bar, backsplash, breakfast nook, or cover one part of the wall.
Wallpapers come in handy when creating different moods and zones in open plan spaces. Feature walls are still a popular option in kitchen remodeling in Royal Oak where they are used to define zones in multi-functional spaces. The application of wallpapers helps blend the scheme together and create an interesting visual focus to a room; it takes away focus from the smart appliances fitted on the walls of the room. The text highlights ways that designers use to incorporate wallpapers.
Using Bold Wallpapers
The busy environment of a dining space allows designers to play around with bold, energetic, and fun wallpapers in this space more than other rooms. Additionally, the integration of smart appliances into the dining area leaves the space feeling hard and clinical. Fitting a bold wallpaper on one part of the wall adds style and creates an interesting focal point for the room. It should complement the rest of the color scheme used in the space. For example, the designer may fit a bold wallpaper made of white and light blue hues; the white fittings create a focus on the print while the blue hues break the monotony of the white color and complement the modern scheme used in most dining spaces.
Using a Wallpaper as a Splashback
The designer can also use the wallpaper as a splash back as long as it’s covered using acrylic, glass or other special lacquered coating. This way, the designer has the freedom to use the wallpaper on different areas without the fear of overwhelming the rest of the space. For example, the wallpaper can be lined at the back of the cupboard or bookshelves to create an enticing glimpse of pattern and color. It can also be used as a surround for an alcove for an eye-catching effect.Attaching a MuralTraditionally, dining areas are known to be high splash zones. Thus, washable or vinyl wallpapers are advisable as they remain looking fresh and are easy to wipe down. Murals make an interesting display and breaks away from the rest of the scheme. For a harmonious canvas, the designer may use neutral tones that blend in with the rest of the scheme and mix it with different finishes and textures for a casual, rustic appearance.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.
Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen
We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.
We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.
We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
