Decorate your kitchen with luxurious wall coverings
18 January 2023
A kitchen is one of the most important rooms in every home. It is often called the heart of the home for a reason. You spend a lot of time there—cooking, and often dining too. A beautiful kitchen is something to be proud of. That’s why your kitchen deserves a luxurious finish with wallpaper.
Wallcoverings in the kitchen are usually practical: water-repellent, easy to clean, and heat-resistant. But there’s more you can do to give your kitchen a sophisticated look. Luxury textile wallcoverings, such as those made from (faux) leather or velvet, offer an interesting alternative to standard materials.
Curious about how to incorporate beautiful fabrics into your kitchen? In this article, you’ll discover the possibilities and get to know DWC’s wall textiles—perfect for bringing your ideas for kitchen walls to life.
How to use luxurious wallpaper in the kitchen
Wallpaper is not (yet) a common form of wall covering for kitchens, and that’s understandable. Other materials—plastic, (natural) stone, and tiles—are generally more resistant to moisture and easier to clean. You don’t have to worry about splashes or greasy build-up from cooking.
Does that mean wallpaper isn’t suitable for kitchens? Certainly not. It just needs to be used wisely. Avoid areas that are directly exposed to heat from the hob or splashes from the sink. You also don’t want to wallpaper areas that are highly prone to stains and grease.
But many kitchens offer more than just those functional areas. The walls surrounding the kitchen setup play an important role in the overall look and feel—and are perfect for luxury wallpaper. The back panel of a freestanding kitchen island is also an excellent candidate
See below for a few projects where wall textiles have been applied in a kitchen.

High-quality leather wall covering kitchen
Leather is a popular material for kitchen wallcoverings. Its unique texture complements the clean finish of kitchen fittings. This exclusive material and its warm tones add depth and character to the kitchen.
Our wall textile collection features several leather-effect wallpaper options, all made from premium faux leather—a 100% vegan and sustainable material. Our leather-look wallcoverings are a stunning addition to any kitchen. Browse our collections below.
What do you need to consider when choosing wall coverings for your kitchen?
Furnishing a kitchen requires different considerations than decorating a living room or bedroom. Heat, splashes, and greasy residue can compromise the quality and appearance of luxury wallcoverings. Avoid damage to exclusive materials by using them appropriately.
Never use our wallcoverings directly behind the hob or sink. If you have a freestanding kitchen unit, however, you can cover the rear wall with our products, as there will be enough distance from heat and moisture.
Additionally, the surrounding kitchen walls are very suitable for DWC’s luxury textile wallpaper. This helps you avoid potential damage while giving your kitchen a distinctive and appealing look. For the best result, coordinate your choice with the wallcoverings in the living area.
