A unique drawing, carefully selected and hand-painted, is a real work of art. He is able to completely transform the room, make it unique, unlike any other. Wall painting can:

to visually increase the space with the help of landscapes with a distant perspective or to make it more chamber and cozy,
divide the kitchen space into separate zones,
hide certain design flaws or emphasize the advantages of a design solution,
focus on individual interior details.

In addition to aesthetic qualities, art painting is very practical. To apply the image, special paints are used, after completion of work, the drawing is opened with varnish. The surfaces thus decorated are highly resistant to moisture, grease, and temperature differences. They do not lose brightness for a long time and do not need additional care. Various types of damage on such surfaces are much less noticeable.

A weighty argument in favor of this design is the fact that the painting of the walls of the kitchen can be done in any style. There are no restrictions, and this is the main plus.

Wall painting

With the help of painting, it is possible not only to decorate a room favorably, but also to carry out its functional zoning, for example, to highlight a dining area. In addition, it helps to fix room defects. So, a low room can be visually increased in height, a narrow one can be expanded, and a dark one can be made lighter and easier by choosing the color scheme of the plot.

Designer Tips

To increase the height of the ceiling, you can use columns, applying vertical stripes of different widths of several similar shades to those that are present in the interior.
To expand the space, you should place horizontal stripes on the walls.
The light colors of everything expand
In the kitchen it is worth making an accent zone, mainly it should be located opposite the entrance, where the attention of the incoming person falls.
It can be distinguished by materials different from other surfaces.
There you can arrange a picture, a bas-relief or wall painting, additionally making lighting there
It is most beneficial to have a dining set there
If the room looks like a rectangle, then it should be divided into zones so that the area is more like 2 squares
Mirrors visually expand the space, but it is necessary that the reflection in them does not beat into small parts, i.e. such large objects as a dining table, a window were displayed, otherwise it would ripple in the eyes.
It is worth considering in advance the placement of all lighting devices, making several light sources so that it is possible to combine lighting if necessary.

Wall painting

For those who want to be original in the design of the kitchen, designers are advised to turn to individual painting. Wall painting is a detail of the interior that will play in favor of creating a home aura.

Wall painting is now available to most of the population in view of different pricing policies and a large number of specialists.

It is important that the painting is individual in nature and never repeats in accuracy. Each work is a reflection of the nature of the owners, their tastes and preferences.

The benefits of wall painting

The decoration and drawing on the prepared wall are used, on the wallpaper for painting, both embossed and smooth.

There may also be a technology for applying to raw plaster (at the moment it is practically never used anywhere, except in the restoration of frescoes in old temples, a non-woven base, canvas, and decoration on plaster are used.

With manual painting, the image is lively and is personally applied by the master on the kitchen wall.
Colors are selected individually for your interior already in place
The drawing can cover not only walls, but also functionally move to the ceiling, niches, built-in furniture and appliances.
This design method hides sharp corners, visually expands the space, creates the effect of presence and volume, and adjusts light contrasts.
Simple restoration in case of damage, unlike photo wallpaper
The ability to coat the painting with varnish and then wash
Cheap prices

Before drawing the surface of the wall of the kitchen must be properly prepared. Decorative plaster can be used or wallpaper “painted”.

Such a basis for the drawing allows you to make its relief perfect, hide defects in the walls of the kitchen, increase the service life.

Why is wall painting popular in the kitchen?

This is a great way not only to decorate a barely renovated room, giving it a little uniqueness, but also to update the already worn out decoration by covering with a picture, for example, a chip or hole in the wall.

If we recall the historical facts, then the primitive people had the desire to decorate their home - to take the same cave paintings in caves. Then comes Egypt with its wall murals, the Middle Ages with flourishing church paintings. And, of course, the magnificent Baroque with its love for magnificent decorations, including wall and ceiling. Wall decor is also relevant in the following eras - Empire and Modern took over the baton. Currently, drawings play an important role in the design of living space. Only now there are much more ways to decorate the interior, and the images themselves have become more advanced (for example, 3D pictures).

How to professionally paint the walls in the kitchen, see this video.

Types of drawing pictures on the walls

Modern technology allows you to apply the image using various methods. Even a person who is far from the art world is able to decorate his kitchen without any problems.

What varieties of decorative painting exist?

Color or black and white.
Drawing the image using a stencil.
Using luminous and fluorescent inks.
3D art painting.
3D image with sculpting.

As you can see, there is an extensive field of activity not only for the pros, but also for a person who is not dedicated to the intricacies of drawing - armed with a stencil and paints, you can create incredible beauty on the walls. And the fact that this is done with your own hands will be doubly pleasing.

What paint is suitable for decoration? Since the operating conditions in this room are quite harsh (changes in humidity and temperature do not make it possible to use absolutely any finishing material), for painting the walls in the kitchen with your own hands, you should choose a water-based, acrylic or alkyd paint. If the paint is afraid of humidity and high temperatures, then it can not be used to design a kitchen apron. If the drawing is applied, for example, near the dining table, then you can use any paint.

What are the advantages of wall painting

The most important advantage is that with the help of this decor you can create a unique interior that no one else has. And in fairness it’s worth saying that repeating it elsewhere, to the smallest detail, will not be easy.

You yourself choose an image in accordance with your own attitude and vision of the environment, then yourself or with the help of a wizard transfer it to the surface.

But this is not the only plus of such wall decoration. There are also other benefits.

A wide selection of image options - you can choose an image for any style of interior.
With the help of painting, the most ordinary room will turn into a stylish living space.
Zoning - thanks to this method of decor, you can select a particular area of the kitchen.
There is the possibility of self-application. Using the template, it is easy to transfer the picture to the surface.
An interesting way to change the space using 3D painting. This is not only a very attractive and naturalistic decoration technique, but also a way to visually change the space - with the help of volumetric art painting of the walls, you can visually increase the area of the room, “move” the wall and create the effect of presence.
Maintainability. If by chance a slight damage appears on the wall, then it can be repaired using building materials, and a picture can be placed on top.
Masking communications and protruding structural elements - with the help of painting, it is possible to hide, for example, wiring that stretches along the outside of the wall.
You can use luminous paints to give the picture more expressiveness.
Handwork - it has always been appreciated in decoration. This is not conveyor products, but an individual approach to the design of the kitchen interior.

Wall painting in the kitchen can be done both in the apartment and in a private house - there are no restrictions. It also integrates well into any interior style - you can choose an image for both strict classics and cozy Provence, as well as for a colorful ethno.

As for the choice of a suitable composition, there are no restrictions - every idea born in your head can be implemented. The main thing is to correlate the size of the decor with the area of the room: for example, in the spacious kitchen-living room you can draw the entire wall with paintings, in the small kitchen the ideal place for painting is in the dining area, and in the tiny kitchenette there is enough original accent of a small size.

Wall painting ideas: what to choose for the kitchen

I wonder how the idea of painting walls is born. There are two possible scenarios:

when it is the idea of the image that first appears in the mind, and the painting becomes the main accent of the room - then the kitchen is built around it,
and the second option, when the picture for painting and its scale is selected in accordance with the interior concept - not only the color scheme of the room, but also the location of the furniture is already known.

For the kitchen, the second option is more suitable, since the layout and location of communications are known in advance. In any case, when choosing a theme and color scheme, the pattern is guided by several factors: the purpose of the room, its area, the location of the windows relative to the cardinal points, the style of interior design. Taking into account all this data, you can go in search of ideas. On the walls of the kitchen you can place food pictures, cups with hot coffee, a still life, as well as flora elements. Bright and rich colors awakening appetite are welcome here.

How to paint walls in the kitchen

And if we talk about the technique of execution, then in this regard the scatter is large, starting from a primitive stencil, ending with graffiti, airbrushing, frescoes, 3D voluminous painting with stucco elements. Whatever theme and technique you choose, it is better to paint the walls in the kitchen away from the work wall and especially from the kitchen apron. And in order for the picture to remain in its original form and delight the household for a long time, it is better to cover it with a protective layer of varnish.

Techniques and methods for beginners, amateurs and pros

There can be many ways to paint walls.

Art painting with brushes and paints (manually) - large and complex drawings like frescoes, portraits, landscapes, etc.it’s better to entrust it to professional artists, and simple and graphic images can be drawn with your own hands without serious skills,
Airbrushing is a technique that requires experience and skills, but with the help of a stencil everyone can create a wall with an airbrush (scroll through the photo to the right)

Drawing with chalk and lettering on a blackboard or chalk wallpaper - lettering also needs to learn, but still not too complex inscriptions can be mastered by a beginner,

Drawing using stencils, adhesive tape and stamps - using stencils you can make beautiful inscriptions, and not too detailed images, not being able to draw at all. The same can be said about stamps. The main thing here is accuracy, desire and the right choice of drawing,
Decoupage - this technique is also subject to everyone.

Wall preparation

Of course, before starting work, the walls need to be prepared: smooth as much as possible and trim with non-woven wallpaper for painting, or well primed and plastered. And, of course, the surface should be clean, dry and fat free.

Before decorating the wall, it is better to additionally treat it with a special acrylic primer for painting, then the surface will become more durable and it will be easier to draw.

Also, if necessary, prepare a stepladder, and cover the floor and furniture with foil.

Drawing Ideas

Wall "painting" in the kitchen can be so different in genre, style and plot. The most relevant motives are:

Floral themes - floral motifs, images of a blooming garden, trees, large buds can be either realistic or graphic, stylized as in the photo below.

Trees with birds and flowers are not a new idea, but today they are especially popular.

Separately, one can highlight another very popular topic for wall painting - the image of a blossoming sakura.

Surrealism, abstractionism, constructivism - are suitable for kitchens in a modern style.

Still lifes, rural landscapes, sea plots, views of cozy old streets and realistic animals painted in fresco style are a traditional theme for classic kitchens.

Perspective drawings can visually increase the space.

Patterns and ornaments, such as Damascus as in the photo below, never go out of style. Since patterns are usually repeating elements, they can be drawn using stencils or stamps.

Kitchen and culinary themes are images of mugs, spoons, forks, food and more.

Geometric shapes - cage, stripes, zigzags, waves and circles are easily drawn with their own hands using stencils, templates, adhesive tape and building level.

If you do not have skills, then it is better to choose a medium-sized composition without complex detailing.

Art painting

So, the wall is ready, the drawing is selected, now you need to select the paint.

In the kitchen, acrylic paints, as well as water-based paints with color tones, show themselves best, but they tolerate increased humidity and washing a little worse,
For non-woven wallpaper, latex paints are better for painting,
Oil paints are more suitable for drawing small details of the picture, since they dry for a long time,
Large image elements are easier to paint over with an airbrush.

The steps for painting on a wall with your own hands are as follows:

We are looking for an idea, a motif of a drawing, suitable for the interior of the kitchen.
We develop sketches and select the final version of the future painting, print the image in color.
We cover the walls with artistic acrylic primer (preferably).
We transfer the drawing to the wall with a pencil, linearly draw the entire composition, focusing on the printed image.
Paint the image with paints, paint over the local spots of the composition, and work through the details.

painting is carried out according to the principle “from general to particular”,
it’s best to paint over large parts of the picture immediately, it’s easiest to do this with an airbrush
contours can be drawn with a marker, and then coated with paints.

We cover the finished painting with matte varnish. This step is not necessary, but is desirable to give additional strength.

Drawing on stencils, templates and using stamps

In order to paint the walls in the kitchen, you can use stencils, templates, stamps or scotch tape.

The simplest and most easily accessible way of decorating walls with your own hands involves the use of stencils:

with their help, you can both outline the contours (example in the photo below), and completely paint over the wall in places of cutouts,

stencils can be bought at a hardware store, their choice is now very diverse, and they are made of thick paper, special film or plastic,
stencils can also be easily done with your own hands: you just need to print the drawing, transfer its contours to the mylar film and cut out the holes you need with a clerical knife.
stencils can also be used on ordinary wallpaper - unless of course the image matches the specified style of the interior.

The process of creating a stencil drawing is as follows:

The wall is marked with a pencil - those places where the stencil will be located are highlighted.
The stencil is fixed so that there are no discontinuities. Store decor is often done with a self-adhesive surface, and paper tape is used to secure home-made stencils.
Paint is applied in several approaches. It is better to apply two thin layers - so the picture will be more accurate.
It is better to apply the paint in circular motions (if with a brush) or light pressure (if with foam swabs).
To remove excess paint from the stencil, use a foam sponge.
When the drawing dries, it is coated with clear varnish on a vinyl or acrylic base. This will make the drawing more durable and prevent it from getting greased.

Stamps and templates are also a great way to quickly "paint" the walls of the kitchen with your own hands.

Stamps are sometimes sold in hardware stores, and can also be ordered at specialized online stores. They cost about 500 rubles. The process is simple: you need to dilute the acrylic paint in the tray (attached to the kit) and dip a stamp in it, and then, making sure that the paint is evenly distributed, apply the stamp to the wall. Additionally, you can draw contours, add interesting details. Keep in mind that it’s better to practice and test the drawing beforehand.

Templates for wall painting can be made with your own hands from cardboard. In this master class, we propose to paint the walls with this pattern.

In the photo below - the principle of working with a homemade cardboard template for clarity is shown on a slate.

We print and enlarge the template to the desired size, transfer the drawing to thick cardboard and cut it out along the contour.
We begin to trace the contours of the template from the ceiling.
We slightly shift the template and again circle it around the edges (photo No. 3, 4, 5, 6).
We take a flat (!) Art brush and begin to draw contours from the inside of the picture (photo No. 7.8).

And here is the real process of wall painting.

Using special stickers

High-quality vinyl or mirror stickers perfectly retain their decorative effect even in adverse kitchen microclimate. They are unpretentious in leaving and easily stick, allowing to realize the most courageous design ideas. Such stickers are sold in the form of ready-made kits in many online stores. Try to choose pictures that combine theme, style and color with the interior of your kitchen, as well as reflecting the interests of your family, your hobby, etc. The photo below shows interesting examples of such a decor.

Wall decoupage

Decoupage on the wall of the kitchen is one of the design methods, as spectacular as drawing. In order for the decoupage to be of high quality, you need to start with the preparation of the walls - the less roughness on the walls, the smoother the glued image.

Details of decoupage must be coated with glue, and then left to dry. For gluing, the parts are applied exclusively to the wall, and then the elements are carefully ironed so that there are no creases and bubbles. The last stage in the design of the image is the varnish coating. It will protect the drawing from mechanical damage and make it moisture resistant.
