When we hear the words “wallpaper” and “kitchen” in the same sentence, we can’t help but flash back to Grandmother’s house. The wallpaper in question being floral – in that really 1970’s kind of way – obviously seamed, slightly greasy, and peeling.

This is not a judgment of grandmothers or the 70’s. Back then wallpaper choices were limited, stovetops didn’t have air vents and, ok, it was the 70’s.

But, behold. Wallpaper and kitchens together have evolved, and are now a happily co-mingling pair, like coffee and cream, or red wine and pasta.

Don’t believe us? See for yourself. These bold wallpaper choices turn “regular” kitchens into statement rooms. No seams, grease or peeling in sight.
