How To Choose Kitchen Cupboard Doors To Match Your Wallpaper

Wallpaper can instantly add pattern, colour and personality to a space, so it’s no surprise that it’s experiencing a renaissance in kitchen design, as it can balance out the reflective finishes and hard surfaces that may otherwise feel stark.

Pro Tip: When choosing wallpaper for your kitchen, we always recommend selecting a vinyl finish as they’re far more durable than standard wallpaper. It’s also a good idea to look out for wallpapers that are described as being scrubbable or extra washable, as this is a great indicator that it’ll be able to withstand the moisture and condensation that’s created when you’re cooking. 

If you’re planning to revamp your kitchen and want to create a sense of harmony between your wallpaper and your kitchen cupboard doors, here are some ideas to consider.

5 Kitchen Cupboard Door Tips from Happy Doors

1. Lean into luxury with marble wallpaper and wooden cupboard doors 

Natural materials and kitchens are a match made in heaven, with marble and wood particularly sitting harmoniously alongside one another with an effortless ease. A marble printed wallpaper almost gives a mural effect, and it has a real sense of luxury and elegance.

Kitchen cupboard doors with a natural wooden finish, such as the Bella Venice in Halifax Natural Oak or Lissa Oak, will perfectly balance the cool sophistication of a marble accent wall and help you to create a kitchen space that feels fresh, modern and clean. 

2. Revel in maximalism with florals and pink kitchen cupboard doors 

A bold floral wallpaper always makes a statement, and choosing a design featuring rich greens and pinks will bring a sense of warmth to your kitchen alongside all the drama.

Pair with dusky pink kitchen cupboard doors to embrace the romance and create a space that feels inviting and lively. Panelled doors such as the Bella Stratford are perfectly suited to this design scheme, as they have a classic and sophisticated feel.

Alternatively, choosing a rich jewel toned green colour for your kitchen cupboard doors will create the luxe factor while also highlighting the connection to nature and the outside world, which can be especially effective if your kitchen leads out into your garden.

3. Layer ditsy prints with elegant neutral cabinets

If you can’t get enough of the cottagecore look, layering ditsy prints that share a similar tone and colour palette is a super easy way to create a characterful kitchen. Choose a ditsy patterned wallpaper which features soft colours such as sage green and buttercup yellow for a soothing space that will leave you feeling restored and refreshed.

Classic yet contemporary shaker style kitchen cupboard doors, such as our Bella Shaker collection, are perfectly suited to a cottagecore inspired space. The great news is that ditsy patterns can be paired with a wide range of different tones, including antique white, ivory, blush pink and pistachio green.

4. Fresh stripes and crisp white kitchen cabinets

If you want your kitchen space to feel fresh and bright, a mint green and white striped wallpaper is sure to create a refreshing ambience that feels very contemporary and confident.

To further enhance the feeling of freshness, choose cupboard doors in a crisp white tone, which will also help to make even small kitchens feel more spacious.

Pro Tip: Selecting satin brass handles and drawer pulls will catch the light and really glow against fresh mint green crisp white hues.

5. Play with clashing colours for a bold, eye-catching design 

Clashing colours can bring a sense of energy and life to your kitchen, which is perfect if you’re keen for your home to truly reflect your personality. This style works best when you choose two colours that compete for your attention, but whether you choose to clash rich jewel tones or bright rainbow tones really depends on your personal style.

Pro Tip: To ensure your space still feels harmonious and a pleasure to spend time in, it can be beneficial to incorporate a neutral tone that really anchors the whole design.
