Interesting and unusual options for panels in the kitchen

We all strive to turn our home into a cozy place to relax. In this case, a variety of methods and methods are used, one of which is decor. It allows you to create with your own hands things that are unique in nature, which become the "highlight" of the interior. Let's try to make a panel. It will look perfect in the kitchen.

The panel is a wall painting, which can be either flat or three-dimensional. The material used is varied: textiles, coffee beans, dried beautiful plants and flowers, eggshells, etc. Initially, you need to decide on the place where the future product will be located. If this is the area of ​​the apron, keep in mind that the panel will get dirty often, and it will have to be washed. Choose a material that is resistant to moisture, high temperatures.

The size of the painting depends on the kitchen area. If the kitchen is small, then the picture should not be too large. A small panel will simply get lost in the spacious kitchen and become invisible. Please note that the product is already self-sufficient, so there should be no other decorative elements on the wall where it will hang. Otherwise, variegation, congestion will be created, and the panel will lose its effect.

Decide on the purpose of the product: will it serve only as a decoration for the room or carry another function, for example, to store little things in pockets or fill the kitchen with the aroma of coffee beans, etc.? It can also be used as a kind of zoning accent: the dining area is emphasized by images of coffee cups, the working area - fruits, vegetables, berries.

Metal details, abstractions, lines - all this is appropriate for a modern kitchen. Dried plants, cereals or wooden elements are the materials from which Provence-style decor is created. Aged paper, wine corks are ideal for loft style.

This product looks very impressive. You can buy it ready-made in a hardware store, as well as order your own version according to your own sketch and a selected drawing or photograph. There are two ways to create a glass panel:

• UV printing of the pattern on the front side of the glass;
• printing the image onto vinyl, which is glued to the back of the glass.

The glass panel can also be monochromatic. This option is suitable for glass panels that have a textured rather than smooth surface.

Such a panel perfectly hides any flaws in the walls. In addition, if you choose the right color scheme, then you will visually expand the boundaries of the room. Ceramic tiles are required for manufacturing.

You can place this decorative element near a sink or stove.

Making a mosaic panel is a laborious and painstaking work, since the drawing is laid out in small pieces, which takes time and patience. The material is glass, ceramics or natural stone, therefore, the product turns out to be resistant to the negative effects of moisture and high temperatures. It is characterized by a long service life.

Such panels have a lot of advantages. They have a different texture, allowing you to implement the most interesting design solutions. Plastic panels can imitate brickwork, natural stone, marble chips, tiles, mosaics and much more. Panels with a pattern applied to them look very impressive. The material is easy to install, since the panels are flexible enough. They are easy to care for.

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to decorate a kitchen is to make a paper panel. This will require a piece of beautiful wallpaper. They can be with an exotic pattern or have a beautiful texture. The selected sheet or several pieces are framed with a matching frame, which turns the product into a finished composition.

Photopanel will decorate any kitchen. There are many options for such a decor. You can put several photos related to the same theme (dishes, fruits, etc.) in frames and place them on the wall. In this case, it is important that the frames are the same, and their size is different. Another decoration option: a small photo is placed on a textured surface (wallpaper sheet, textured PVC panel, etc.) and enclosed in a frame.

These parts are mounted on the wall at a close distance from each other. Modern technologies make it possible to translate into reality any topic that is appropriate in the kitchen: bright fruits and vegetables, coffee beans and tea cups. Photos of megalopolises are the ideal decor for a high-tech kitchen.

This type of panel is performed in different techniques: patchwork, applique, embroidery. The finished product is necessarily enclosed in a frame.

If you want to make a panel using the decoupage technique with a crackle effect, prepare the eggshell in advance. It needs to be washed, dried, removed from the film that is present on the inside. It is necessary to act carefully, since the shell without a film becomes very fragile. The basis of the future product is a sheet of fiberboard or plywood.

At the first stage, the workpiece must be coated with a layer of primer. After it dries, we proceed to create a textured surface. To do this, we process a small area with PVA glue, apply a piece of shell to it and gently press so that it cracks. There should be a small distance between the pieces. After the entire surface of the sheet is covered with a shell, we postpone the work until it dries out. Next, cover it with another primer layer and dry it again.

In order to make a spectacular interior decoration, it is not at all necessary to be able to draw well. Decoupage is a confirmation of this. Use napkins that are readily available at craft stores. Place the napkin on the prepared workpiece so that its front part is pressed against the cracked surface. Treat it with water. Moisture will separate the base film from the image. Remove the film. After the panel is dry, apply a special glue for decoupage. As a result, a panel is created that looks like an old painting. This decor is appropriate in the interior of the country style, Provence.

Such a fragrant painting can be made in different ways. Both whole grains and ground product are used. The easiest option is to work with a stencil template. Areas that need to be highlighted are coated with glue. Next, ground coffee is poured on top. Shoot the template very carefully. The picture is ready. It remains to wait until it dries. Whole grains are ideal for bulky jobs. You can completely lay out some specific image or abstraction with them. It takes a little patience to make a kitchen mural.

We offer one of the options. We take a 1 liter plastic bottle. We cut off the neck so that the height becomes approximately the same as that of a coffee mug. Next, cut the workpiece vertically into 2 equal parts. We'll need one of them. We glue it with a glue gun to a cardboard base to make a half of a mug.

We prepare the surface for pasting with grains: wrap it with masking tape. You can grease with glue and sprinkle the workpiece with ground coffee. Cut out an arc from the cardboard that imitates a saucer. We apply glue, coffee grains. Decorate with dried lemon wedges, cinnamon sticks.

We fix the blanks with hot glue on a base, for example, a chipboard sheet. Think ahead about what the background will be. A wide frame of coffee beans will become an effective frame for such work. If you leave the corners of the panel clean, attach small hooks to them, then such a product will turn into a housekeeper and will be not only beautiful, but also functional.
