Wallpaper is a great way to inspire the overall design of your kitchen. Make sure to pick one that has texture as well as color.

1. Start by smoothing out any rough spots on the wall and consider a coat of primer.

2. Measure your wall and pre-cut your pieces. Make sure to leave room to line up patterns for a seamless look.

3. After putting on the paste, apply the wallpaper by starting at the top and working your way down.

4. Use a straight edge to smooth out bubbles and make any cuts for corners to get the tightest fit.

5. Allow the paper to dry for at least 12 hours.

6. Add some accessories such as a mirror or wall-mounted wine rack to finish the look.
