Note the density, which is nothing else but the strength and durability.The denser the wallpaper, the smaller pores therein, and thus less dirt will settle on them.

Another important point - light resistance: the surface must be resistant to fading, or they will quickly turn yellow and will become an ugly appearance.

Water vapor transmission - parameter, which is not all sellers know.If this indicator is high, then the wallpaper is quickly absorbed sweat that forms on a regular basis in a small kitchen.

And not the fact that in this case they will keep their density, texture and durability over time ...

Good wallpaper - always dense and strong.

And given their composition of mineral particles (the same liquid, glass, metallized), it turns fire-resistant coating, which may briefly localize fire in a particular area.

Selecting wallpaper for the kitchen, always look at the notation on the label (see photo.) "Wave" indicates the moisture resistance and "wave with a brush" - of resistance to mechanical stress and damage.

There are one- and two-layer coated vinyl, cloth, paper and paintable (preferably a layer of washable paint).

Acrylic - laminated, have a volume pattern on the substrate surface of the polymer foam, because not tolerate any cleaning agents or hard cloths.Slightly walk with a damp cloth only.

They are highly hygroscopic, absorb moisture, which can be avoided if, after the drying process of acrylic transparent varnish.

Plus the fact that they can be easily re-apply in the case of repair (especially in a small kitchen).

About design and colors

• In the small kitchen will be more space visually, if strictly pokleit bright wallpaper or painting a bright (as in the photo);
• dark color visually reduces the room, so it is only relevant for large kitchens;
• orange, yellow, brown, beige and gold colors are the most comfortable, but only if they are dark and deep;
• choice of color for the most part depends on the style of the whole kitchen: for high-tech need a white and black color for pop art - bright strictly non-acid, for country / Provence - natural color, such as wood and stone;
• If the kitchen plenty of decorative items or unusual furniture, the wallpaper should be solid, with no saturated colors;
• not forget about how color affects your mood: Yellow and orange colors will cheer up, lift up your appetite red, blue on the contrary reduces blue relaxes, calms green.But these colors must be neither faded nor highly saturated - somewhere in the middle.And regarding the black, purple, dark brown - they should not be used;
• If the kitchen goes into the other room (dining room, living room), the wallpaper must be designed in the same style and have the same color as the room next door.Or did take painting.
• apron pokleit wallpaper - mauvais ton.The glass panel - the best;
• If you want to buy and combine the two types of wallpaper in the kitchen, they must be combined correctly - tonally and thus one of the colors of wallpaper should be initially dominant, for example, if all the furniture and equipment - bright, white or cream color, color"Olivier", and the main color of the wallpaper is the same.When this wallpaper help divide the space in the kitchen.Or you can shift from light cuisine to a dark living room, when the second color is properly selected in the intermediate tone;
• wallpaper can pokleit niche for all the accessories - to select a different color that will add originality (example pictured);
• Rarely wallpaper glued patchwork way, but only in the case of the apron wall or at the dinner table.If pokleit completely, you get sloppy application, which will strain your eyes and distracting, especially in a small kitchen.

If the kitchen simple furniture, it is better to use wallpaper with complex patterns (in a small kitchen is not necessary).Any large pictures immediately compress space and small, on the contrary, it will increase.

Vertical and horizontal bars (low-fat) visually raise the ceiling.All wallpapers beige, golden, cream colors, with simple drawings and for painting - the most universal.

Also pay attention to all sorts of prints and photo wallpaper, which are represented on the market (see photo.): Characters, animals, painting (broken into puzzles) - a lot of variations.
