Stencils
Drawing with a stencil
Exquisite and luxurious antique painting, swift strokes of high-tech and techno, brilliant designs in metallic and graffiti style - we can do all this with our own hands using a stencil.
Features of application
- We can use all stencils for the selected decor on a wall of any texture.
- With them we can refresh the wall cladding in a fashionable, easy and quick way.
- We will cut out stencils of ornaments and designs from paper or more practical plastic that will withstand repeated use and can simply be cleaned of paint with a sponge.
- We can draw even large thematic pictures using stencils.
Preparing the wall
Before starting work, it is necessary to carefully prepare the surfaces of the walls. Otherwise, the whole work may be ruined.
The first thing you need to do is level the walls. After this, they begin to cover them with non-woven wallpaper. It is recommended to use paintable wallpaper. It is not necessary to glue them; you can simply sand the surfaces of the walls and walk over them with a primer. The walls must be clean, dry and free of grease.
You should also prepare the room to apply designs for the kitchen walls. Furniture must be removed from the room so as not to get dirty. If this cannot be done, it is covered with a film to protect it from paint.

Interior ideas
Wall painting in the interior is an original solution; there are many styles of painting. Wall painting can be generalized and divided into several categories:
- A monochrome or single-color stencil pattern is usually made in a single color, painted on a plain, plain wall in a contrasting combination of colors, for example, a dark green pattern on a snow-white wall.
- Composition of several drawings. As a rule, these are several drawings combined in one dark color. For example, 3 pots of flowers drawn on a kitchen apron look stylish.
- Glowing patterns will create an unusual atmosphere not just in the kitchen, but in the apartment as a whole.
- It is better to entrust 3D drawings to professional artists, because the most important thing here is shadow play, without which the “trick” will not work.
- You can make relief ornaments yourself, and they can be in a variety of formats - from small details and edgings to large reliefs the size of an entire wall.
In a small kitchen, large patterns visually reduce the space, and therefore it is better to choose a medium-sized pattern. If you doubt your personal abilities, you can always turn to experienced craftsmen who will choose interesting murals and paintings, taking into account the size of the room, lighting and other technical nuances. And the pros can even create a portrait or an unusual wall collage. Images that move from the wall to the ceiling will look impressive - it will give the impression that you are not in the kitchen, but in a rendered space (by the sea, on the beach).

- No professional skills required. You don't need any artistic ability to create stencil designs. You can use pictures in ready-made form, simply transferring them to the surface of the walls.
- If a chip or hole appears, the picture will organically cover such a defect, thereby bringing the walls to life.

At the moment, the range of products offered for painting on walls is only increasing - these include stencils from various materials, paints, sketches of drawings, as well as auxiliary materials for the most accurate detailed drawing, specialized pastes and pencils, etc.

We draw on our own
By the way, independent decor of kitchen walls will most accurately realize our desires - after all, we are both the customer and the master performer. So, let's start drawing.
Wall decoration
Wall painting in floristry style
- Let's choose a drawing and estimate its correspondence to the interior and size of the kitchen.
Advice! The easiest way to achieve such harmony is through color matching: in a beige palette, drawings on the walls in the kitchen in warm colors are appropriate: brownish, yellow, golden.
- Now we translate the idea we like into a sketch to take into account all the details. This way, our drawing on the wall will no longer require unpleasant subsequent corrections.
- Then we will take measurements and sketch on the wall with a simple pencil.
- We will carefully select paints for our drawing that suit us in quality and color. They should not flow from the wall, smearing the design and causing smudges. Therefore, we will paint the drawing on the kitchen wall with good paint for wet rooms.
Advice! If the volume of the jar of the desired color is too large, you can add the required color to the white paint. Sometimes gouache is also used, but it is stable only when mixed with PVA glue.
Nowadays, hieroglyphs and cobweb patterns are very popular among famous designers - this is a very popular trend from the mysteriously philosophical east. We can apply such an intricate design on the wall in the kitchen ourselves, even without such talent.
A three-dimensional drawing will help to hide roughness and other defects of the wall: a still life, a landscape or individual fragments thereof.
Drawing – decor
Decorate the wall with a laconic design.
We learn how to make, guided by a video, a small wall decor in the kitchen.
- We apply the main color to the entire wall: the work is simple and does not require extreme care.
- Cut out a stencil of the pattern on film or cardboard.
- We attach it to the wall and paint it with specially selected high-quality paint.
- Let's achieve perfection: use white paint to draw a pattern over the already dry colored paint to give it texture. We do this again using the same stencil, but randomly touching it with a brush with white paint.
Another way: a modern and creative solution - we will use innovative technologies - we will make photocopies of the images you like, enlarge them and transfer them to cardboard. Then we will attach the drawings to the kitchen wall.
Still lifes
Those with conservative views often choose still lifes that depict flowers in an antique vase or fruit in a basket or on a plate. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the fact that the composition shows the compatibility of the design with kitchen utensils.
Still lifes painted with oil paints are considered the most valuable. They look very elegant and expensive. Suitable for decorating kitchens in classic or modern styles.

Patterned panels
Apron with a pattern
Modern plywood, laminated kitchen wall panels made of high-quality MDF material, spectacular and practical plexiglass, moisture-resistant plasterboard - these are the best decorative wall panels for the kitchen with a pattern.
Carvings
Carved versions of panels are successfully used in oriental stylish interiors.
- Laser cutting has reduced their cost and improved their grace.
- Mirror panels with an elegant, sophisticated design will visually expand the kitchen, making it airy and luxurious.
- An openwork panel will beautifully separate the dining area. Such a panel, superimposed on a contrasting or mirror base, amazes with its spectacular deep relief.
- A wall panel for the kitchen with a geometric pattern will not require much effort from us. Its rounded outlines will add softness and comfort to the interior, while its straight lines will add confidence and courage.
Advice! Let the advantage remain with light tones, and only the islands be bright. By the way, side light accentuates the relief on the panel more clearly.
Decorative 3D panels
3D coatings create a perfect image.
- A stylish design is applied to plastic environmentally friendly PVC panels with a thickness of 4 to 12 mm using innovative printing, then a high-quality and durable glossy coating (Read also the article about 3d photo wallpaper for the kitchen).
- Reusable installation, replacement of damaged parts, ease of maintenance, the possibility of architectural imitations of arches and columns on the wall have made this material the undisputed leader in sales.
- A delightful 3D effect, thermal insulation, strength, sound absorption and fire safety are the decisive advantages of the new product.
- The price of such a panel fully compensates for its beauty and exclusivity.
- We can install 3D panels directly on wood, concrete, brick. But first we install a profile on an uneven wall.
3d wallpaper for walls
This wallpaper is similar to photo wallpaper, but with a stunningly realistic picture.
- The pattern is enhanced by BLB ultraviolet lamps, but it looks advantageous only in large rooms - in small rooms this innovative effect is lost.
- Fluorescent wallpapers delight us with a three-dimensional picture during the day, and in the dark they seem to glow from within.
- Durable and fire-resistant polyester protects them from ultraviolet radiation, moisture and simplifies cleaning from dirt.
- We attach the 3d wallpaper with glue for heavy vinyl, adding PVA (1:10).
Styles
Below we will get acquainted with the most popular stylistic trends.
Classic
Classic is classic. It will never become outdated and will always be relevant. Classics are distinguished by restrained shades and harmonious shapes. Most often, idealistic and calm landscapes are depicted.
Baroque
Baroque is distinguished by majesty and splendor. The compositions contain ornate patterns and floral patterns. The walls and ceiling are often decorated with frescoes.
Empire style
The final stage in the development of classicism. Luxury combined with restraint and conciseness. The Empire style is full of symbols: triumphal arches, griffins, sphinxes and winged lions. The most important thing is to be able to maintain balance.
Modern
Modernity strives to give man unity with nature. Modernism is the absence of straight lines, freedom of expression and novelty.
Pop Art
Pop art borrows popular images from mass culture: advertising, cinema, television, comics, magazines. Bright and daring paintings will not go unnoticed.
Animation
This style is best suited for children. The drawing is simple to execute, however, it can become a bright accent in the interior. The main thing here is not to overdo it with the brightness of the colors, this can quickly tire you.
Abstraction
If you don’t want to think about the composition or think through the color palette for a long time, then you should resort to this style.
- This style is easy to implement, even if you've never held a brush in your hands.
- It will fit perfectly into a modern interior or can be a bold touch to a classic one.
Bottom line
As you can see, all of the above techniques have unlimited possibilities in creating originality in the overall style of the room. And we can make a drawing for the kitchen on the wall ourselves, turning this island of well-being and intimate communication into an aesthetic home restaurant.

Using acrylic
Acrylic wall painting has its advantages. Paints based on this base are easily mixed and tinted.
The process is somewhat similar to the technique of working with gouache, that is, you need to take a white base, several colors and by mixing create the necessary color scheme.
This way, you can make rich or, on the contrary, soft, delicate shades, which can be quite realistically combined in one drawing.
