    Beyond the Backsplash: Unexpected Places to Use Wallpaper in Your Kitchen

    Six unexpected kitchen wallpaper locations that deliver visual impact without putting paper anywhere near grease or steam.

    Once you stop trying to paper the backsplash, the kitchen opens up.

    1. Inside the cabinets

    Glass-front cabinets backed with paper turn ordinary storage into display.

    2. The ceiling

    A kitchen ceiling is rarely close to grease. Paper it.

    3. The toe-kick

    Paper applied to the toe-kick (then sealed) adds an unexpected detail at floor level.

    4. The range-hood box

    If the hood housing is drywall rather than metal, paper it in a vinyl that contrasts with the cabinetry.

    5. The pantry door

    Decoupage-applied paper on the pantry door makes the door the room's focal point.

    6. The window reveal

    Papering only the depth of a window reveal frames the view without committing the whole wall.
