When choosing wall coverings, many focus only on design and colors, but the main criterion that needs to be read is practicality. After all, it is in the kitchen that there is a high probability of splashes, variable humidity and an abundance of odors that tend to accumulate in finishing materials. Wallpaper used in such conditions must withstand wet cleaning with detergents, have good vapor barrier properties and have a durable color that will not lose its saturation throughout the entire period of operation.
How to choose wallpaper by color
When choosing the color of the wallpaper, you should focus on the chosen style of kitchen decor. Don't ignore the size of the kitchen either. A wallpaper color that is too dark will make the kitchen interior even smaller and gloomier, while a wallpaper color that is too light and monochromatic in a spacious kitchen will create the impression of a hospital ward. White wallpaper is great for creating a feeling of order and cleanliness. To get rid of the hospital aftertaste, choose textured wallpaper or replace the white with a different shade of white.
If you've already purchased dark kitchen cabinets, choosing wallpaper won't be as easy. What wallpaper to choose for a kitchen with dark furniture? Choose a beige color. This neutral color is associated with coziness and does not get boring over time.
Green wallpaper will look good in the kitchen. Those who love bright, grassy or lime tones will feel comfortable. Calmer shades of moss and pistachio will give the kitchen an aristocratic look.
Orange and red tones are ideal for the kitchen. These colors lift your spirits, improve appetite and metabolism.
If you are wondering how to combine wallpaper in the kitchen, choose black or black and white wallpaper for one of the walls. This design move looks good in brightly lit rooms and kitchens with white furniture.
White wallpaper in the kitchen
A versatile color that goes well with any furniture and other decorative wonders of interior designers. It provides additional lighting and a little more space.
However, white colors can make a kitchen look like a hospital or factory. Therefore, all shades of this beautiful color were used: elegant pearls, exquisite champagne, white sand, light ivory, baked milk and milk dessert.
These shades go well with metal objects that are sure to be found in every kitchen.
Yellow wallpaper in the kitchen
Yellow has long been synonymous with joy and sunshine. Lighter shades are a worthy companion to vibrant kitchen units, while lighter shades help create a comfortable backdrop for delicately colored kitchenware.
Brown wallpaper for the kitchen
Natural shades from dark chestnut to beige, including all wood palettes, are the optimal choice for those who do not chase fashion, but prefer cozy classics.
Unlike cold achromatic colors, brown always brings a certain warmth. Plain or printed wallpaper in the form of a tree, bamboo wallpaper, with painted autumn leaves, coffee beans, straight lines or in an English check - this color will always remind you of something peaceful, of home and family.
Blue and light blue wallpaper in the kitchen
Light or deep shades of blue that will fill the kitchen with depth and calm. It will pair well with yellow floors and wood cabinets.
Gray and blue tones will bring a cool coolness to the kitchen.
Gray wallpaper in the kitchen
Until recently, shades of gray were considered boring and dull and were found only in public reception areas. Currently, this color is gaining popularity due to its wide range of shades.
Gray shades in the most unusual way will reduce the brightness of textiles or furniture, give an atmosphere of amazing calm and confidence, make a large room harmoniously balanced, and give a small room coziness and comfort.
The only thing gray wallpaper will ask for is bright accents that will add life to a dull finish.
Beige wallpaper in the kitchen
Until recently, beige color was considered the most suitable color for kitchen decoration. It is not very flashy, but not entirely modest either; it does not tire the eyes and brain, but has a calming effect on the nervous system.
For large rooms, darker shades closer to wood tones are used. Today, beige has lost its leading position, but is still quite popular in kitchen design.
Orange
Orange is one of the brightest and most active colors, so all additional shades should balance and “even out” it. Blue, turquoise and dark blue wallpapers will refresh an orange kitchen, gray ones will make it more elegant, and green and white ones will add coziness. Colors such as red, yellow, pink, purple and lilac also pair well with orange and its shades.
Red (burgundy)
Nowhere does red furniture look as harmonious as in the kitchen, as this color stimulates the appetite and makes the room more cozy. However, in large masses, red can be irritating, so it should be combined with softer shades (white, green, beige) or with cool, restrained tones (blue, indigo, turquoise). Wallpaper in a red kitchen can also be printed in yellow, orange, brown and burgundy.
Red kitchen with beige wallpaper
For beige headset
Beige and vanilla remain the most popular kitchen color. There are many reasons for this:
- 1 Beige color is an ideal solution for a small kitchen, as its light palette works perfectly to visually expand the space.
- 2 Beige is a neutral color and is perfect for recreating any style - from sophisticated classics to chic modern, from romantic shabby chic to textbook loft.
- 3 For those who think beige is boring, we advise you to pay attention to such shades as caramel, cappuccino, creme brulee. These delicious colors will make your kitchen not only cozy, but also especially homey.
- 4 Beige is a universal color and is not capricious in choosing a pair. On the contrary, by choosing one or another color of wallpaper for a beige set, you can charge your kitchen with a festive atmosphere, give it sophistication or create a harmony of comfort.
Wallpaper color for beige kitchen:
Beige and sand shades will create a very delicate and sophisticated interior.
Whites are a perfect match. The kitchen turns out bright and cheerful. But avoid boiling white, otherwise the interior will turn out faded and “dirty”. Beige and brown are an original combination, if only beige will dominate. It is better to choose white wallpaper with a dark pattern.
Purple or lilac - bold and bold. The interior turns out dynamic and rich. It is better to choose plain wallpaper without a pattern.
Muted red, burgundy, terracotta are a harmonious pair, provided that the decor is minimal.
Gray - the kitchen will be cozy and delicate. It is only important that both gray and beige are as light as possible.
Green - the result is an interior that is close in spirit to eco-style or country style. In such a kitchen, an abundance of indoor plants and floral patterns is appropriate.
Important: if you have a beige kitchen, avoid fluorescent, cold light. It will make the interior look dirty. The same applies to appliances - a beige refrigerator and stove against a background of beige furniture is too much. It is better to choose a metallic color technique.

We focus on style
Practicality - this is what they traditionally start with when they give advice on what wall decoration is important and should be chosen for the kitchen. The requirement is still relevant, but more on that later.
Let's turn to beauty! Let's learn how to choose wallpaper so as to harmoniously “superpose” the interior, like words to a good melody.
Classic style:
- Discreet colors of a warm, cold palette are welcome: white, pastel, olive, dark green, burgundy, black;
- “Stretch” of one color from top to bottom - from dark to light. For example, the floors are “bitter chocolate”, the walls are cocoa, the ceiling is cream. In addition to beauty, we see the correct distribution of color load in the vertical/horizontal planes;
- Furniture, accessories: dim ones, in tune with the classic theme, are suitable;
- Decor: various floral patterns, damasks.
Modern styles:
- Several shades of the same color palette: different methods of combination are used depending on the area and shape of the room. This is zoning, stripes, highlighting one wall with color, one dominant background plus patches in different places 1-2 tones lighter/darker;
- Bright, poisonous colors in combination with calm ones;
- The finish is plain, without ornaments or complex textures - for minimalism;
- With prints: images of dishes, fruits, city scenes, inscriptions, photos of movie characters are suitable.
Tip: Take materials of the same price category. The canvases may differ in color and decor, but should cost approximately the same. Cheap paper does not look good together with expensive non-woven fabric.
East style:
- Rich wallpaper colors: burgundy, green, dark yellow, bamboo, silk-screen printing, imitation velvet finish, velor;
- Not suitable - monochrome surfaces, monotony;
- Decor – many rich ornaments, lace carvings;
- Preference for dark, heavy canvases with an abundance of gilding.
Provence style
Everything natural is welcomed, the presence of nature - sun, greenery, flowers, sea. We advise you to choose soft, not dark shades - beige, lilac, blue, gray, milky, with images:
- Spoons, tea pairs, cups;
- Houses in the village;
- Colors;
- Animals;
- Beads.
The color and texture of textiles must match. Take curtains, tablecloths, and furniture covers made of thick linen of the same color and with a similar pattern.
Art Deco style:
... or “the art of decoration”. There are many different styles mixed - from classics to elaborate baroque, modest minimalism, "industrial". For wall coverings, texture comes first: gloss, relief, imitating various subjects are welcome.
Art Deco wallpaper serves as a backdrop for furniture, but does not dominate the decor. This is easier to achieve by using plain dark materials or reliefs for painting.
Types of wallpaper for the kitchen
The modern market provides a huge selection of wallpaper, but given that the kitchen is a rather specific room, it is very important to pay attention to the material when purchasing. High humidity, steam, temperature changes, dirt, which is often difficult to remove - all these conditions make it necessary to give preference to moisture-resistant, washable fabrics.
Textured wallpaper in the kitchen - trend 2022
The trend towards texture can be seen in the interiors of all rooms: from the bedroom to the bathroom, dining room and kitchen - without exception. A variety of textures are in fashion, including concrete, marble and all types of stone, as well as abstractions.
Textured wallpaper is suitable for those who want an accent wall but don't want it to be too bright. It stands out against the background of the main decoration, but does not distract from it.
It is important that the materials match the backsplash and countertop. It is safest to choose neutral tiles or stone for your kitchen countertops. If you like the idea of a patterned effect, try pairing tiles with accent wallpaper.
Non-woven
Made from compressed cellulose, but have a denser structure than conventional paper wallpaper. During the production process, a hydrophobic coating is applied to the lining, which adds strength and protects the wallpaper from fading in the sun. The coating is breathable and does not swell upon contact with water. Thick fleece hides minor defects on the walls and is easy to paste over.
Liquid wallpaper for the kitchen
A relatively new type of coating on the finishing materials market. Liquid wallpaper is applied in the same way as decorative plaster, and the end result resembles a fabric covering. This is perhaps the densest material, which allows you to hide even significant surface defects, as well as create various patterns. However, not all types of liquid wallpaper are resistant to moisture - check this indicator when purchasing.
Silkscreen printing
The wallpaper is made on a vinyl base with an outer smooth layer of silk threads. This coating has a smooth surface, is wash-resistant, and does not lose color in the sun. The material is very beautiful, which will become a “decoration” of any interior.
Especially stencil decors are widely used by designers in kitchens in the form of coatings that imitate natural materials such as wood, stone and granite.
Vinyl
This material is dense and durable. With proper care, vinyl wallpaper can last 8-10 years and will not lose its original appearance. The coating is breathable and does not accumulate moisture, which eliminates the possibility of the formation of fungi and mold on the walls. The material is easy to clean and can be used for painting.
If you don't want to renovate every ten years, pay attention to hard vinyl, which will not require replacement for a long time, is easy to clean and will not fade in the sun.
Glass wallpaper
Excellent material for use in the kitchen. The fiberglass plate is very durable and can easily withstand high humidity and cleaning with any detergents. It is available in both a colored version, with ornamental patterns, and in white, which can be used for painting.
Wallpaper hides unevenness and voids in the walls, further strengthening the surface and preventing the spread of fungi. Wallpaper is usually slightly textured, but for those who like smooth textures, you can choose fiberglass wallpaper with a bright and beautiful pattern.
Cork wallpaper for the kitchen
Of all the types considered, cork wallpaper is the most expensive material, the main value of which lies in its naturalness. Cork wallpaper has a service life of up to 20 years and is easy to clean with water and any detergent. The canvases are not endowed with a variety of palettes and designs, but in the interior they look quite noble.
Combination of combined wallpapers
Collections usually have 2 types: background (always available) and accent (not always needed).
Collections and accent walls
Question: How many open walls are there in the kitchen that can be used for accent wallpaper?
Answer: maximum 1, often 0. We count:
- There is always a set attached to the first wall.
- On the 2nd window, radiator and curtains.
- On the 3rd door.
Those. in a typical apartment with a small kitchen there is not always even 1 wall for bright wallpaper. Accordingly, there is no talk of any combination.
By the way, read about choosing curtains for the kitchen and how to hang curtains in a kitchen with a balcony - these are also important accents.
If you still have free space, a non-standard layout, or even a kitchen-living room, then take a closer look at the ready-made collections. Usually the combinations are well chosen and the chances of making a mistake are less than with an independent combination.
An interesting idea: hang accent wallpaper on the apron and protect it with a glass shade.
Photo wallpaper
I am a categorical opponent of using photo wallpaper in the kitchen - the functional load is too high to complicate things like that.
Very rarely this can happen more or less if you build the entire interior from these photo wallpapers:
But more often it will turn out to be a terrible collective farm.
And don't be fooled by photos on the Internet. Sometimes these are renderings rather than actual photographs. Or a different finish altogether. Below, for example, is a fresco:
If you want to liven up your kitchen wall, hang a picture. And leave photo wallpapers with tulips in the past.
Classification of wallpaper by functionality
All types of wallpaper are divided depending on their purpose. Some types are designed to be dyed, others are classified as washable.
For painting
Some of this group require a final coat of paint after installation on the base. They are made from various types of raw materials such as paper, non-woven fabric, glass fiber or synthetic particles. The main market share is occupied by dyed non-woven wallpaper.
Available in large size rolls (1 m by 25 cm), suitable for 5-10 repaintings. The base varnish is white.
Subsequent coating properties depend on the type and quality of paint used. The main thing is not to skimp on the composition, as this can worsen the appearance and performance characteristics of the wallpaper.
Washable
Washable wallpaper can be used to cover walls and kitchen furniture. It is intended for use in wet conditions only. The wallpaper consists of rubberized vinyl, which is very dense and has good dirt- and water-resistant properties.
Wallpaper can be installed above countertops, where there is often steam and high temperatures. But it is not recommended to use washable wallpaper for walls in other rooms. Due to its large thickness, it looks rough, and regular washing prevents free air circulation.
Practicality of the material
There is a wide range of such materials on the market. Even in a small hardware store, everyone can find a suitable option for themselves. If the desired product is not available, then the store consultant can provide a photo catalog of wallpaper for the kitchen 2022, which contains all available models. With their help, you can bring any design plan to life.
Natural combined wallpaper for the kitchen is very popular among the population. Of course, here it is worth considering that such material is not entirely suitable for finishing this room. Even an established ventilation system and powerful exhaust hood will not be able to protect the coating from the negative effects of negative factors. As a result, it will quickly lose its original appearance. This applies even to regular coffee, which can ruin the appearance of the finish.
You shouldn’t stop paying attention to cheap paper wallpaper for painting in the kitchen. They are impractical because they have low strength, and as a result, a short service life is guaranteed. If you use simple combined wallpaper for the kitchen on a paper basis without special impregnation for finishing, then very soon you will have to re-do the repairs.
Paintable paper wallpaper is a material that quickly fades in the sun and becomes covered with soot, which is almost impossible to remove.
Fashionable style solutions
Among the various interior styles, the most popular are Scandinavian and minimalist styles.
Classic
If you are planning a classic interior, choose wallpaper with stripes, checkered patterns, floral or coffee wallpaper, or wallpaper with a floral motif.
Pastel or dark colors suit this style. Wallpaper that imitates historical frescoes, borders or architectural structures will also be a good decoration.
Loft
Can be plain or multi-colored, textured or smooth. Different types of wallpaper are acceptable, but it is better to purchase companion wallpaper of identical composition and texture, which is easy to wash and glue.
Wallpaper for the kitchen in a modern style
If you see a design that is neat and tidy, then it is most likely modern. For a modern kitchen interior, wallpaper should be plain and muted colors, such as white, grey, black, beige or light blue.
Also acceptable are photo wallpapers, discreet monochrome designs, alternating glossy and matte textures, polished stone, wood effect, and metallic shine.
Minimalism
Minimalism is still at the peak of popularity. His motto: “Nothing superfluous.” Minimum accessories and maximum functionality. Its colors are white, gray and black. This is diluted with bright accents and carefully thought out lighting. Ceilings in kitchens are often multi-level, adding creativity to the room.
Japanese style
In Japanese cuisine, this is a place of relaxation, rest for body and soul.
To create a relaxing and calm interior, it is best to use natural colors such as ocher and green. Wallpaper with an imitation bamboo wall or a wall fresco with ethnic motifs and calligraphy, drawings with exotic flowers and birds will enliven your kitchen.
You can choose a design in the spirit of Japanese minimalism, or you can give preference to bright colors by choosing wallpaper that contrasts with the furniture.
Country
Wallpaper with floral prints, vegetables, fruits and berries fit harmoniously into this style. It is better to choose natural shades (wheat, green, olive, beige).
Provence
Colorful designs require bright and light colors. In such a room you can use canvases with floral prints and natural accents (tree branches and leaves, images of insects, etc.).
Modern
Shades of romanticism, classics, retro and other styles are possible. Asymmetrical graphics, waves and flowing lines are used to create accents that can be combined with sleek wallpaper. Ideal for modern times are options with imitation of natural finishes, such as brick or masonry stone, leather.
High tech
He suggests using a bright palette, laconic lines and the absence of excessive luxury. Wallpaper with unobtrusive relief, discreet design and imitation of aged plaster, tiles or concrete soil are suitable for interiors.
Wallpaper for a Scandinavian-style kitchen
The cool freshness of Scandinavian design is guaranteed by walls whose colors and textures are reminiscent of the winter landscapes of Norway, Sweden or Denmark. It can be the sparkling purity of virgin snow, the mysterious depths of lakes and rivers, the smoky airiness of the sky, the mystical glow of the sunset.
Add a warm note to your kitchen with bleached oak textures, wool knits and deep red ethnic patterns on a linen background.
What style features need to be taken into account?
The walls are the largest surface of the room, so they set the style direction. In terms of style, they differ in color, texture, print:
- Scandinavian. Light colors, monochrome designs, cool shades.
- Classical. Symmetrical patterns, bright contrasts, warm shades. Complemented with stucco.
- Provence. Small plant patterns, light pastel colors. Photo wallpaper depicting lavender fields and French streets.
- Oriental. Ordinary light monochromatic ones, with red and black patterns (hieroglyphs, oriental motifs).
- Loft. Plain with imitation plaster, or concrete, wood, brick. Photo wallpaper with city landscape, steampunk ideas.
The modern design of wallpaper in the kitchen cannot be described in a few phrases: there are plain ones, and with floral and geometric prints.

Choosing wallpaper for the kitchen-living room
The kitchen-living room is a lot of space for the imagination. Since there will be several functional zones in the room, wallpaper can act as markers of a particular zone.
For the kitchen, choose washable, moisture-resistant wallpaper. The cooking area is often decorated with plain wallpaper or imitation stonework or wall tiles. For the living room walls, choose a more dramatic dressing. Don’t skimp on materials—everything here should look quite rich, even single-color wallpaper.
The highlight of the interior can be natural wallpaper - upholstery made of fabric, bamboo or cork will definitely attract the attention of guests. In the living room, you can make an accent wall in the area of the TV or sofa. Use brighter fabrics, large patterns, photo wallpapers or original combinations of materials for this.
Wallpaper for small kitchens
Small kitchens require a different approach. For such rooms, choose a light palette of colors and patterns with a little brightness. It would look great here:
- narrow stripes that raise the ceiling or lengthen the walls;
- contrasting color combinations on an accent wall;
- Cool tones.
The simplicity of wall decoration can visually increase the free space and emphasize the sophistication of the design.
What wallpaper is suitable for the kitchen
Washable does not literally mean washable. The term is relative and different manufacturers use different coatings and materials. There are washable, waterproof, moisture-proof, abrasion-resistant, etc. products, but all of them do not provide 100% protection.
From the point of view of environmental friendliness and toxicity, all foreign wallpapers have passed strict certification and do not pose any problems.
- Wallpaper should not be pasted in the work area. If the sink is located close to the edge, the splashback should always face a perpendicular wall.
- If there is a table against the wall, either do not place it, or be as careful as possible.
What types of wallpaper are best not to use in the kitchen?
We have already found out that kitchen interiors are demanding when it comes to wall coverings. The following will not work here:
- paper (do not wash, afraid of moisture);
- Soft textured versions (easily peel or scratch when cleaning);
- single-panel models (preferably 1-3 wavelengths + brushing, 3 wavelengths are acceptable);
- does not fade (choice: sun, plus sun, two suns).
As for the areas inside the kitchen - super washable fire retardant materials are suitable even for the backsplash, but are not the best option for this area. If you want to leave wallpaper between kitchen cabinets, protect it with clear peels.
Non-woven
This material is obtained from compressed cellulose fibers, so it is considered “breathable”. This means that fungus or mold will not form underneath it. In terms of their characteristics, the coatings are not inferior to vinyl ones, but they are more expensive, at least in Russia.
Unlike vinyl, non-woven fabric has no odor. And unlike paper, it does not stretch due to glue, so joining the design will be much easier. This is an excellent solution for both a regular room and a kitchen studio.
What to look for when purchasing
Follow our recommendations if you don't want to buy low quality wallpaper:
- First of all, remember that good building materials are rarely cheap. See what online stores offer and read our article where we list good brands. Have you been offered something much cheaper? There is a chance that the wallpaper will fall off in the first month or the colors will lose their brightness.
- Do not buy wallpaper at bazaars or dubious stores. Storage conditions are not always met, so you risk purchasing a soggy product.
- Measure carefully before purchasing and make sure you have a roll to spare. No matter how carefully you apply wallpaper, there is always a risk that you will damage something in the process.
- Have you decided to buy embossed wallpaper? Carefully inspect each roll: scuffs and scratches may appear not only during operation, but also due to manufacturing defects. Replacing such a roll will not be easy.
- Please read the technical specifications carefully. Not every coating is suitable for use in the kitchen.
What materials are best to avoid when designing?
Experts do not recommend using paper and acrylic-based wallpaper in the kitchen and adjacent rooms; such coatings quickly accumulate dirt and dust and are unable to withstand regular wet cleaning.
If we are talking about finishing the total area of a studio apartment, then you need to give preference to materials that are more dense and resistant to mechanical stress. Acrylic and paper coatings can only be used in dry, isolated rooms, otherwise they will quickly lose their aesthetic appeal.
Wallpaper care
In order for the new decoration and design of the kitchen to satisfy the hostess for a long time, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness. You should also follow the instructions for working with wallpaper in the kitchen. First of all, remember not to brush your wallpaper too often, because even the hardest, most durable washable wallpaper will become damaged from frequent use.
If a stain occurs, it should be wiped off immediately with a damp sponge. If you remove dirt in a timely manner, it will not remain on the wallpaper for long.
Do not use laundry detergent as a detergent. When choosing a detergent, test it first. To do this, add detergent to water, lather, clean a small area of wallpaper and leave for a while. If the surface has not changed, you can safely use a cleaning agent.
If the surface is heavily soiled, has stubborn stains or heavy dirt, most likely removing the dirt the first time will not give the desired effect. The procedure may need to be repeated after the wallpaper has had time to dry.
Useful tips from designers
- Focus on one thing at a time. If your kitchen is simple, you can choose a bright wallpaper, while a neutral tone will suit a kitchen with statement fittings.
- The colors of wallpaper and furniture should be combined, and not mix cold and warm colors.
- If you choose wallpaper with vertical stripes, the ceiling will appear high. Horizontal stripes optically enlarge the kitchen, but lower the ceiling.
- If the kitchen windows face south, use warm-colored wallpaper; if they face north, it is better to use cool colors.
Available options
In a hardware store you can find almost any modern wallpaper for the kitchen. But not all of them are suitable for finishing a given room.
So, what wallpaper is better to glue in the kitchen:
- Combined wallpaper for the kitchen on a paper base with impregnation. This option is ideal for budget renovations. Of course, creating an original interior with such materials will be very difficult.
- Paper models based on a thin layer of vinyl. The material is relatively cheap. It can only be used for finishing walls that have a perfectly flat surface.
- Vinyl wallpaper for the kitchen. They have high moisture and light resistance. They are ideal for finishing rooms with high humidity. The finishing coating can hide small defects in the surface of the walls, which eliminates the need for careful preparatory work.
- Non-woven wallpaper for the kitchen. Compared to the previous version, the material has a high density and can easily withstand various loads. During the pasting process, the glue is applied directly to the wall, which can significantly reduce its consumption. Self-adhesive wallpaper for the kitchen would also be a good option. They are easy to repaint. Paintable wallpaper allows you to quickly and effortlessly change the design of a room.
- Fiberglass based material. It has high vapor permeability and dielectric properties, which reduces the risk of dust accumulation on the surface. The glued material can be easily cleaned and painted several times. Therefore, they are well suited for kitchens that are subject to heavy loads.

When finishing, you should avoid using foamed vinyl materials. Regardless of the fact that gastronomic motifs are applied to it, it has low strength and moisture resistance. As a result, the finishing coating will quickly become damaged and lose its original appearance. But the question still remains, how to choose wallpaper for the kitchen by color?

How to glue wallpaper
If you plan to apply wallpaper yourself, manufacturers always include instructions for using their products. The label will usually indicate whether the adhesive should be applied to just the wallpaper, just the wall, or both surfaces. There are also self-adhesive wallpapers that only need to be dampened before pasting. The label also indicates whether you need to select wallpaper according to the pattern. Wallpaper with an abstract pattern or without a pattern can be glued at all. Some patterns will need to be selected so that they look beautiful on the wall.
Some wallpapers require each sheet of wallpaper to be flipped 180 degrees. If the manufacturer's instructions are not enough, you can always watch video instructions online.
