You probably know about the basic rule for choosing wallpaper for small rooms: the smaller the room, the more light tones. This means that you should not pick up dark wallpapers in the kitchen as a whole, even if you really want to. Let the wallpaper look great on display in the store, but the dark wall will narrow the room and make it dark. The exception is a contrasting combination of dark ornaments or other motifs on a light background. But do not forget about practicality: white wallpaper as an apron, near the sink and stove is absolutely inappropriate.

But if you do not eat in the kitchen, but only cook, then why not.

• Vinyl wallpapers - A popular and well-justified choice. They are washed several times, and possibly with a soft brush (check with the seller and on the label).

Nevertheless, vinyl has a flaw: it is impossible to purchase such wallpaper for allergy sufferers. It's not about the harmfulness of vinyl, it's a myth.
