Kitchen Wallpaper

(548 products)

A kitchen is the hardest-working room in the house, and its walls take more abuse than any other — grease, steam, splatter, and daily wipe-downs. The right kitchen wallpaper stands up to all of it while giving the space real personality, whether you want a warm farmhouse print behind a breakfast nook, a moody floral in the dining area, or a clean geometric on a feature wall. This collection is built specifically for kitchen environments, in materials chosen to handle heat, humidity, and cleaning.

The most popular option is our peel and stick wallpaper for kitchens — a removable, washable material that installs without paste and comes off cleanly, making it ideal for renters and quick refreshes. It's also a smart way to create a low-cost, temporary backsplash on the dining side of the room, away from direct water and heat. For permanent, commercial-grade durability, our Traditional Type II vinyl handles high-traffic and rental-kitchen use with ease.

Every design is made to order in the USA with non-toxic, eco-friendly inks, ships free, and samples are available so you can see how the pattern and color read in your kitchen's specific lighting before you commit. With a 4.95 out of 5 rating from 1,000+ reviews, it's a low-risk way to give the busiest room in your home a fresh look.

Choosing Kitchen Wallpaper That Handles Grease and Steam

A kitchen puts wallpaper through more than almost any other room: airborne grease near the cooktop, steam from boiling and the dishwasher, and the need to wipe walls down regularly. The single most important decision is the material — a washable, moisture-tolerant vinyl is what separates kitchen wallpaper that lasts from wallpaper that peels or stains within months. Here is how our materials compare for kitchen use.

  • Smooth Vinyl Peel & Stick — semi-gloss finish, fully wipeable, handles everyday kitchen humidity and splatter. Best all-around choice for kitchen walls and breakfast nooks. Removable and renter-friendly.
  • Canvas Peel & Stick — matte woven texture, wipeable with more care, low glare. Best for dining-side kitchen walls and breakfast areas away from heavy splatter where you want a softer look. Removable and renter-friendly.
  • Traditional Type II — heavier paste-installed commercial vinyl, most durable and scrubbable, Class A/Class 1 fire rated (ASTM E84). Best for permanent installs, rental turnovers, and high-traffic kitchens. Tolerates light wall texture.
  • Faux Grasscloth Type II — natural woven look with commercial durability. Best as an accent on a dining-side wall or breakfast nook; keep it away from direct splatter since texture is harder to wipe. See our faux grasscloth collection.

All four are printed with GreenGuard Gold certified, non-toxic inks and custom-sized to your walls, made to order in Davie, Florida. For rooms with heavier direct moisture, our waterproof wallpaper and bathroom wallpaper collections cover the same washable materials.

Where to Use Kitchen Wallpaper (and Where to Be Careful)

Knowing where kitchen wallpaper thrives — and the few spots to avoid — is the difference between a install that lasts years and one that lifts within months.

Kitchen Walls and Breakfast Nooks

Full walls, breakfast nooks, and feature walls are the easiest, most forgiving places to use kitchen wallpaper — far enough from direct heat and water that any of our materials will thrive. These areas are where a bold pattern makes the biggest visual impact. For the adjoining eating area, our dining room wallpaper collection coordinates naturally with kitchen prints.

Backsplash Areas

Peel and stick wallpaper makes a convincing renter-friendly, temporary backsplash on the dining side of a kitchen or on stretches of wall away from direct water and heat. It is a low-cost way to get a tile or pattern look without demolition. The one rule: keep it out of the direct splash zone right at the sink and off the wall immediately behind an open cooktop flame, where continuous water contact and direct heat will shorten its life.

Where to Be Cautious

Avoid placing wallpaper in the direct splash zone at the sink and on the wall immediately behind an open cooktop flame — those two spots see the continuous water and direct heat that shorten any wallcovering's life. Everywhere else in a normal, ventilated kitchen is fair game. Running your range hood while cooking pulls grease and steam away from the walls and extends the life of the wallpaper further.

Popular Kitchen Wallpaper Styles

Kitchens suit a wide range of looks, from cozy and traditional to clean and modern. These are the directions our customers choose most for kitchen walls and nooks.

Farmhouse and Cottage

Gingham, small florals, and warm rustic prints give a kitchen a welcoming, lived-in feel that suits breakfast nooks and cottage kitchens. Browse our farmhouse wallpaper collection for this look.

Vintage and Retro

Vintage-inspired fruit prints, classic damasks, and retro patterns bring character to a kitchen and pair especially well with older homes. See our vintage wallpaper collection.

Modern and Geometric

Clean lines, subtle textures, and graphic patterns give a contemporary kitchen a sharp, architectural feel on a feature wall or breakfast-nook wall. Neutral tones and simple geometrics keep a busy kitchen from feeling cluttered while still adding interest.

Every wallpaper roll is made to order in the USA with non-toxic inks, ships free, with samples available for every design so you can test the look in your kitchen's lighting first. With a 4.95 out of 5 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, custom sizing, and free US shipping, it is a low-risk way to refresh the busiest room in your home.

Kitchen Wallpaper FAQ

What kind of wallpaper is best for a kitchen?

The best wallpaper for a kitchen is a washable material - either canvas peel and stick or Traditional Type II - because it wipes clean and tolerates the grease, steam, and humidity a kitchen produces. Canvas Peel & Stick is the most popular all-around choice: it's removable, renter-friendly, and works on kitchen walls and breakfast nooks. For permanent or high-traffic kitchens, Traditional Type II is the most durable and scrubbable option. Avoid uncoated or paper wallpapers in a kitchen, since they can't be wiped down.

Is wallpaper in a kitchen a good idea?

Yes - wallpaper is a good idea in a kitchen as long as you use a washable, moisture-resistant wallpaper and keep it out of the direct splash and heat zones. Kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, feature walls, and the dining side of the room are all excellent spots. The two places to avoid are the wall immediately behind an open cooktop flame and the direct splash zone right at the sink, where continuous water and heat shorten any wallcovering's life. Used correctly, kitchen wallpaper is durable, wipeable, and far more characterful than plain paint.

Can you use wallpaper instead of a backsplash in the kitchen?

You can use peel and stick wallpaper as a renter-friendly, temporary backsplash on the dining side of a kitchen or on stretches of wall away from direct water and heat. It's a low-cost way to get a tile or pattern look without demolition. The key limitation: keep it out of the direct splash zone right at the sink and off the wall immediately behind an open cooktop, where continuous water contact and direct heat will shorten its life. For those exact spots, tile or a proper waterproof panel is still the right call - wallpaper covers everything around them.

Is peel and stick wallpaper good for kitchens?

Peel and stick wallpaper is a great fit for kitchens because it's a removable, washable vinyl that handles everyday humidity and wipes clean of splatter. It installs without paste, repositions during application, and comes off without damaging the wall — ideal for renters and quick refreshes. It needs a smooth, clean surface to adhere well, so wipe down walls first and avoid textured walls, where our Traditional Type II is the better choice.

Is kitchen wallpaper washable and does grease or steam damage it?

Our kitchen wallpapers are washable and resist the grease and steam a normal kitchen produces - you can wipe them down with a damp cloth. Canvas Peel & Stick and Traditional Type II both have a wipeable surface built for this; textured options like faux grasscloth are more delicate and better kept away from heavy splatter. The thing that actually damages any kitchen wallcovering is prolonged, direct exposure — standing water at the sink or direct flame heat behind a cooktop — not the ambient grease and steam of everyday cooking. Good ventilation (running your range hood) extends its life further.
