kitchen wall idea suggestions

last year

We just stripped the wall paper from the kitchen wall and want update it. I am confused on what to do. My husband wants to wallpaper it again but I like the idea of stone walls or wood wall/panelling. Any suggestions? Opposite are cupboards in F&B french grey (green) colour and floor is grey. Idea of photos also below. No experience in DIY so easy fix would be good too!

Wallpaper is easy to apply and needs no maintenance in comparison to the other suggestions which will collect dust and grease residue.

Here are some suggestions for updating your kitchen wall:
1. Paint: Painting the wall is one of the easiest and least expensive updates you can do. Since you already have grey flooring and green cupboards, you may want to consider painting the wall a complementary color such as a light blue or a warm beige to balance the color scheme.
2. Wall tiles: If you like the idea of a stone wall, you can install wall tiles that resemble the look of stone. This can be a bit more expensive than wallpaper, but it will add texture and interest to your kitchen.
3. Wallpaper: If your husband prefers wallpaper, consider using a modern pattern with a light and bright color to keep it from feeling dated. However, since you've just stripped the wallpaper, installing another wallpaper might cover up any imperfections on the wall.
  here is some wallpaper ideas:

1. Wood paneling: Wood paneling offers a warm and natural look that can complement the existing grey and green color scheme. You can either use reclaimed wood or purchase wood panels that are pre-finished, which are easy to install.
Overall, it's important to consider your skill level, budget, and personal style when deciding on what to do with your kitchen wall. If you're unsure of what to do, you can always consult with a design professional or get inspiration online. Good luck with your project!

This is a really great, if not a bit small, bedroom! Love the window shutters and angled ceilings. I agree with changing the white to a softer colour, Farrow & Ball do some really lovely shades, as above Green Blue is great or something like French Gray. It would look great with the white shutters too. By the way of artwork, I would suggest not to paint on the wall itself but to frame your artwork and hang on the walls, this way it's more easily changeable. I also think using white picture frames will help to keep the room light and won't look so heavy seeing as the room is rather small? Just some ideas, hope they offer some inspiration!

Hi Natalie, I'm not sure if this is helpful or not (?!?) but we recently knocked three rooms together and ended up with a very similar shape room with doors or entrances on every wall, meaning the conventional kitchen shapes weren't an option. I've tried to show you what we did in your floor plan just to give you a completely different idea... We've got the red square as full height units with an integrated fridge, an integrated freezer and a double larder in the middle. We put our island smack bang in the middle of the room (green box) with a double oven and induction hob on top and stools down the other side for people to sit at. Then finally we put our sink run in the other wall where the blue box is that also has our integrated dishwasher. Finally we took a very long thin utility room and split it into two so the first part of the kitchen is a walk in / out pantry (yellow box) that then leads through to a utility / laundry / dog room and the back door. The purple box was just an idea of a small sofa that people could relax on if you're all in the kitchen and entertaining a few more people as you've got a bit of space. Like I said, I'm not sure this exact layout would work with your space and dimensions but it's a similar type of shape so I thought it might help with a few ideas. (In the interests of being honest I should also mention that none of it was my idea and we totally 'cheated' and employed an amazing concept planner from on here (Gina from Create Perfect) Here's a couple of quick pics to help you visualise what I'm on about :) Its clearly not finished yet but should give you a bit if an idea.

Personally I'd go for a pale grey - somewhere between the colours of your cabinets. You don't want anything too creamy paint-wise or the white cabinets won't look right, F&B Skylight or Dulux Smooth Flint are both nice light greys that would work throughout. It's best to get samples and paint them on big sheets of card (NOT the wall!) and look at them at different times of day to see how the colour changes depending on the light. Hope this helps!
