Wallpaper in a kitchen used to sound faintly reckless, like white carpet or silk curtains in a nursery. And by reckless, we mean bonkers. But with smart placement, decent ventilation and a little strategic glass, paper-based wall coverings can prove a perfectly reasonable option for the heart of the home.
Wallpaper also gives modern kitchen ideas something sleek cabinetry alone can’t always deliver — color, shape, and joyfulness. A few rolls can bring joinery to life, turn an awkward wall into the best seat in the house, or persuade a cavernous extension to relax and chill.
