Fortunately, today you can find a moisture-resistant coating for walls that is suitable in shade and texture. A more costly way is to lay tiles. There are even more possibilities not only among shades, but also in texture, size and style. Youyou can make the apron in one color, and the rest of the wall in another. You can combine not only shades, but also patterns on the tiles. Budget option - painting the walls.

Blue kitchen - color combination
Of course you won't be doing all the details in one shade. Therefore, the future interior must be thought out in advance. Much easier with white and beige colors. Almost all existing shades are combined with them. The blue kitchen is a little more difficult.
Best possible color combinations:
- black (ideal for floors and cabinet elements);
- white (can do the floor, walls, furniture, accessories);
- milky (a win-win option that is suitable for decorating walls and furniture);
- grey (suitable for everything);
- yellow (you can use rich and muted shades);
- turquoise (suitable for walls and furniture, but it will look most advantageous in intersection with blue on one element);
- green (saturated shades of fresh greens will do);
- olive (walls in this shade look the most advantageous);
- blue (suitable for everything);
- orange (can be used for wall and furniture decoration);
- coral (suitable for finishing everything);
- cream (floor, walls, furniture and accessories);
- shades of pastel;
- shades of natural wood (cherries,oak and so on).
To understand whether all colors are combined with each other, you can use the color spectrum. Also, if you have already picked up the shades of furniture, accessories, walls and floor, then take the pieces with color samples from the store and put them together. Better yet, lay out the palette in your kitchen. Then you will be able to evaluate not only the compatibility of shades in the interior, but also how it will all look in the conditions of your apartment (natural lighting plays a big role here).
Design options
If you have a small blue kitchen, it is better not to overload it with a large number of shades. Limit yourself to painting the walls dark blue and keep the rest neutral.
Very beautifully combined with blue furniture floor, made of black and white tiles, which are laid in a checkerboard pattern. If you make walls in this shade, then it is better to make cabinets and shelves from wood in natural shades or paint them white.
By the way, blue can be very tricky. And even in a well-lit kitchen, there can be moments when you feel uncomfortable there. To prevent this from happening, try to pick up furniture finishes in warm colors. For example: beige, pastel yellow, delicate orange and so on. This rule also applies to the choice of color palette for accessories and kitchen textiles.

A small kitchen with blue walls and furniture in a natural shade of wood will seem even smaller than it really is. In this case, it is better to choose cabinets in blue shades, and decorate the room itself in beige or pastel colors.
For a large kitchen, a combination of both rich and muted tones is suitable. Also, in wide rooms, you can combine many different, but matching shades.
Choosing tiles, paint and wallpaper for the blue kitchen
If you chose blue fronts for kitchen cabinets, the color of the walls should not only harmonize well with the furniture, but also help create a feeling of comfort and style. The white color of the wallpaper for the blue kitchen looks very nice. Such a room immediately looks clean, spacious, filled with light.
Another possible design option for a room with blue furniture is to choose backsplash tiles in the same shade as the cabinets. Then the rest of the walls should be done in more neutral colors.
When choosing paint or wallpaper for kitchen walls with blue furniture, start from personal preferences. If you need to make the interior bright, then the shade of the finish should be the same (for example, green, orange, red, and so on). If you want to combine the rich color of blue furniture and the calmness of the room, then paste over the walls with wallpaper in pastel colors.
Selection of accessories
The blue kitchen (photo below) is ideal for people who do not likeoverload space with things. This is due to the fact that such a shade is self-sufficient and does not require supplementation. Therefore, you should not flaunt various cute little things, figurines, decorative vases and dishes, hang a lot of paintings, photographs and so on on the walls.
If you want to decorate the interior of the kitchen with some trinkets, then limit yourself to two or three units. Don't overload the space. Or complete the entire room and furniture in neutral colors (for example, beige, gray, brown, and so on), and select all related items and decor in blue tones (dishes, textiles, pots, a kettle, appliances, jars, vases, etc.).
