Here at William Morris Wallpaper, our customers have discovered that our most popular designs work wonderfully in kitchen settings, bringing artistry and character to this hardworking room.
Let's explore our top five best-selling wallpapers and how they can transform your kitchen into a space you'll love spending time in.
1. BLACKTHORN Wallpaper - Teal
Our number one bestseller, the BLACKTHORN Wallpaper in Teal, brings sophisticated botanical beauty to kitchen spaces. This stunning design features delicate blackthorn branches with intricate blossoms in a rich, jewel-toned teal that pairs beautifully with both traditional and contemporary kitchen cabinetry. The deep teal works particularly well as a feature wall behind open shelving or in a breakfast nook, creating visual interest without overwhelming the space. Customers love how this wallpaper adds a touch of nature-inspired elegance whilst being practical enough for kitchen environments. The detailed pattern helps disguise minor splashes and marks, making it surprisingly practical for this busy room.
2. Pimpernel Wallpaper - Cobalt/Mineral - 217365
The classic Pimpernel pattern in Cobalt and Mineral brings timeless William Morris design into your kitchen with stunning results. This 1876 design features flowing, naturalistic pimpernel flowers that create a sense of movement and life on your walls. The cobalt blue and soft mineral tones work beautifully with white or cream cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and natural wood accents. Many customers use this wallpaper in their dining areas adjacent to the kitchen, creating a cohesive flow between cooking and dining spaces. The medium-scale pattern is perfect for kitchens of all sizes—large enough to make an impact but not so bold that it dominates smaller spaces.
3. Pure Pimpernel Wallpaper - Black Ink - 216539
For those seeking drama in their kitchen design, the Pure Pimpernel in Black Ink delivers sophisticated impact. This monochromatic interpretation creates a striking backdrop that works exceptionally well in modern kitchens with sleek cabinetry and minimalist design elements. The bold black pattern against a lighter background adds graphic interest and artistic flair, transforming your kitchen into a gallery-worthy space. Customers particularly love using this wallpaper in butler's pantries, sculleries, or on a single feature wall to create a focal point. It pairs beautifully with brass or gold hardware, marble countertops, and both light and dark cabinetry, proving its remarkable versatility.
4. Arbutus Wallpaper - Blue/Pink - DJA1A7102
The enchanting Arbutus Wallpaper in Blue and Pink brings a softer, more romantic aesthetic to kitchen spaces. Featuring the strawberry tree with its distinctive fruits and flowers, this design creates a charming, cottage-garden atmosphere that's perfect for country-style kitchens or anyone wanting to add a gentle, nature-inspired touch to their cooking space. The soft blues and delicate pinks work wonderfully with painted cabinetry in sage green, soft grey, or classic white. This wallpaper is particularly popular in breakfast rooms and kitchen-diners where the calming colours create a peaceful environment for morning coffee or family meals. The lush, garden-like pattern brings the outdoors in, making your kitchen feel fresh and inviting year-round.
Making Wallpaper Work in Your Kitchen
When incorporating wallpaper into your kitchen, consider these practical tips from our experience and customer feedback. Use wallpaper on walls away from direct water sources like sinks and cookers, or protect it with glass splashbacks for a stunning effect. Feature walls work particularly well in kitchens—try wallpapering the wall behind a dining table, in a breakfast nook, or on the wall opposite your main work area. Modern wallpapers are more durable than ever, and when properly hung and maintained, they can last for years even in kitchen environments.
