Wall mural is a material that has regained its popularity in recent years. This is a type of design, which is a scaled picture or its fragment, photograph, drawing, graphics. The image is applied on a special base, which is glued to the wall. Thus, the wall or part of it turns into a kind of art project.
Wall murals almost always become a key element of any design, so their choice should be approached carefully and with an understanding of the nuances.
Most often, photowall-paper is used to add a unique feature to the design of a room, to adjust the design of the kitchen "for yourself", for a personal understanding of style. In addition, they perfectly divide one room into zones - in the case of a kitchen, this can be a zone for cooking, direct meals, a bar, and so on. Correctly selected photo wallpaper for the kitchen visually expands the space of a small room, or vice versa, makes a large room more comfortable.
For small rooms, it is best to choose wallpapers with images of country or city landscapes, images with a deep perspective, which will "deceive" the eyes and increase the space.
It is better to give preference to light shades and not too conspicuous elements. “Pressing” objects that are too large can have the opposite effect. Black and white photographs in the case of a small kitchen should also be chosen carefully.
If you want to "stretch" the space in height, if your kitchen has ceilings hanging over your head - choose wallpaper with vertical elongated images - towers, skyscrapers and so on. If you need to "stretch" the space in width, "endless" photos will do - sea beaches, plains, mountain views, and so on.
Pay attention to which way your windows face. If you need to add light, then pastel and sunny colors can be an obvious solution. If the kitchen is already replete with light, it can be “removed” with the help of cool tones - blue, green, turquoise and other shades.
Wall murals are quite selfish design elements. They do not coexist well with other decorative items. If you are gluing wallpaper, it is better not to overload this wall with weighty sconces, furniture, panels and other objects that will distract attention to themselves.
Finally, it is worth considering the material for the wallpaper. Kitchen paper, most likely. Will not work. It is recommended to give preference to those materials that can be wiped and washed. On the other hand, many synthetic materials can release harmful substances into the air under the influence of high temperature, steam, sunlight - it is better not to glue such wallpaper at all, and even more so to the kitchen.
