How to make the most favorite place in the house even cozier without spending extra money, and even give new life to wine corks, buttons, yellowed books? Decorate the wall by hanging a hand-made panel on it! Moreover, such a wall decoration does not require the skills of a decorator.
The main themes of kitchen panels
A wall panel for the kitchen is a themed decoration that allows you to create an accent in the interior or divide the space into functional zones.
The theme of the decoration should match the style of the room. For country style, and these can be paintings depicting rural life, still lifes of fruits, vegetables, panels using spices, cereals, dried fruits, flowers, herbarium.
However, for classic cuisine, such panels are also suitable, which are not difficult to make with your own hands.
Stylish graphic panels in a chic strict or minimalist frame will fit in.
And for home-made paintings in bright or contrasting frames with letters, words, sparkles, bows, images of butterflies, animals are suitable. You can make such panels using nails, threads, metal buttons, sequins, rhinestones, buttons, shells, stones, newspapers and magazine pages.
- stylish retro-style panels from newspapers, chalk wallpaper, old posters, yellowed book pages, old boards and wine corks.
Loft-style interior letters can be ordered on the Internet, or you can do it yourself.
The winning images will be three-dimensional images that match the theme of the ceramic tiles used for cladding.
Decoupage kitchen panels
A do-it-yourself panel using decoupage technique is a real author's work, it will decorate your kitchen for as long as you want.
To make such a decoration on the wall, you will need:
- Glue - PVA and for decoupage;
- Rice paper (napkins);
- egg shell;
- Primer, brushes;
- Sponges;
- File;
- Acrylic paints - to guide the contours.
As for the work, they are carried out in several stages with interruptions. A primer is applied to the fiberboard with a sponge - a thin layer so that it dries faster. Then you need to make egg crackle, that is, an imitation of a three-dimensional vintage texture. To do this, the shell is crushed into small pieces and applied to the surface of the fiberboard.
Important! The shell must be cleaned of the inner film before use. It is also undesirable to use those parts of it where there is a factory stamp.
The entire surface of the base is pasted over with pieces of shell - so that small gaps remain between them. After the glue dries, you will need to prime the surface. To apply the image, paper with a selected fragment (still life, for example) is used. The secret of creating a picture is simple - the paper is placed on the file "face", poured with water, applied to the primed workpiece. The paper is leveled, the file is removed, after which the dried image is covered with decoupage glue.
With the help of special napkins or rice paper, you can make a wide variety of panels - and they will look like amazing author's paintings on the wall.
Kitchen panels from improvised materials - applications and installations
A Provence-style kitchen may well be decorated with a textile panel created using the patchwork technique. By the way, such a decoration can also be practical - for example, a “picture” made of fabric can be supplemented with capacious pockets where a variety of kitchen trifles can fit.
If you like the use of improvised means, then it is quite possible to make a picture with your own hands from what is stored in your kitchen cabinet:
- Aromatic oriental spices;
- coffee beans;
- beans;
- tea leaves;
- Bay leaf;
- cinnamon sticks;
- orange peel;
- Croup (by the way, you can use any cereal - from semolina to peas);
- Orekhov;
- Even from bagels and bagels!
Suitable and such improvised (and even old) materials such as:
- Paper origami figurines;
- Nails;
- Old boards (as a base);
- Pieces of fabric, buttons, yarn, rhinestones;
- bottle caps;
- Wine corks;
- Maps of the native country or region;
- Magazines and newspapers, yellowed books and atlases;
- And many many others.
Such a panel will fully demonstrate your creative imagination in the design of the kitchen and will become an original decoration of the kitchen apron. As for the manufacturing process, everything is very simple here:
- Thick cardboard is covered with clarified high-quality burlap.
- The web of the base material is tightly stretched onto the cardboard using decorative nails.
- On the front side, composite elements are laid out, for example, cereals.
- All materials are firmly fixed with glue.
- To hang the picture on the wall, you will need a strong cord, but you can also use a magnet if you plan to place the decoration on a metal surface.
Luxurious installations can also be made for the kitchen - for example, from unnecessary cutlery. It is better if such panels are in harmony with the design of the apron - original stickers are suitable for this. Or you can make several of the same type of paintings at once.
Such a picture with your own hands will look extraordinary in any room - the main thing is to choose the right arrangement of devices and colors. A bright dense fabric is most often chosen as the basis for the plot, and a painted wooden frame serves as a frame. Unnecessary knives, forks, spoons are placed on top of the fabric - they need to be cleaned, degreased and painted over to create a striking contrast with the background.
Experienced needlewomen have long known that wine corks do not need to be thrown away, because they can be used to make such stylish and functional wall decorations.
Do you have a lot of magazines and newspapers? Is your library full of old books with yellowed pages? Then you will love the ideas for making paper panels.
A panel using flowers and plants is simple and beautiful! Such an accessory can decorate a kitchen in the style of a classic, Provence, country.
With the help of lace, paint and canvas, you can create an elegant picture.
Other techniques for creating panels - mosaic and embroidery
If you do not want to use cereals or decorate the wall with spoons, then you can use traditional techniques - especially since their implementation with your own hands requires a minimum of skills and tools.
The most beautiful kitchen paintings on the wall are obtained with the help of embroidery - cross, ribbons, beads. There are many "kitchen" motifs - from still lifes to ethnic ornaments, including flowers, dishes, food. Do-it-yourself embroidery will take a little more time than a paper picture, but the result will be amazing.
There is only one but - it is undesirable to use embroidery to decorate a kitchen apron, it is better to hang it on the wall near the dining table. And do not forget to close the picture with glass, otherwise the canvas will get dirty very quickly.
Many do-it-yourself ideas can be realized with the help of mosaics. The resulting paintings can duplicate the images on the backsplash tiles, or they can decorate the wall as a self-sufficient work of art. Rhinestones, glass, broken tiles, eggshells or sequins and so on can serve as materials for this creativity. The mosaic is laid out on thick paper or cardboard with glue applied on top. Then all the laid out elements are varnished for durability.
These button panels will really enliven a modern kitchen. It is very easy to make them, and single buttons, which are a pity to throw away, will find their rightful place on the wall.
Making kitchen panels is a pleasant and exciting process that allows us to look at familiar things from a non-standard angle. We wish you creative success!
The desire to update a recently renovated, but already fed up kitchen interior, often visits many of us. One of the ways to bring bright touches to the interior without cardinal alterations, thereby breathing new life into the room, is to decorate a section of the wall with mural elements. A do-it-yourself panel is the very “highlight” that can reflect the character and preferences of the hostess of the kitchen, setting the atmosphere in the right way. What types of panels will look appropriate in the kitchen interior and how to make such an element of decor with your own hands, we will consider in more detail.
Some mistakenly believe that the panel is the same picture. In fact, the picture is a work of pictorial art. The panel does not have to be a masterpiece. It is intended only to act as a bright "spot", which acts as a finishing touch in the decoration of the kitchen, giving integrity to the look.
Panels - a stylish way to decorate the kitchen interior
Panels for the kitchen can have any shape and size. Depending on the material used, they are of several types:
- Fabric. Appliqués, embroideries on fabrics and tapestries can be mass-produced or hand-made.
- Graphic. Thematic images and reproductions of works of art are created using modern printing techniques.
- Wooden. Carved panels made of hardwood and coniferous wood are often complemented with semi-precious stone inlays.
- Ceramic. Mosaic paintings are laid out from small elements and fragments of ceramic tiles.
- Sculptural. They are mini-sculptures made of metal, textured plaster or ordinary plaster.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the handmade panels, which are made from a wide variety of materials: clay and salt dough, dried flowers and cereals, beads and sea shells.
To protect the surface of fragile materials that suffer from high humidity and temperature fluctuations in the kitchen, the compositions are coated with a transparent or tinted varnish of the selected shade.
The main thing to consider when choosing or making a decorative element with your own hands is that the kitchen is a functional room. All sorts of smells often hover in its space, and the smallest particles of edible fats settle on the walls. For this reason, decorative elements should be made of practical materials that can withstand moisture from frequent washing.
Accessory options
Wall panels are placed in those areas of the room that they want to visually highlight. It can be a work wall apron or a place near the dining table.
Carved panels look great in a classic interior
When designing a large kitchen, designers recommend using several elements of the same type from the same series, suspended on different walls of the room.
Tip: ceramic tiles mosaic paintings are resistant to moisture, and therefore it is better to use them to decorate the working area of the kitchen.
Ceramic panels, combined with other finishing materials, are able to create a unique interior.
When choosing a panel for the kitchen, it is important to consider its size. The walls of small kitchens should be decorated with small compositions. They will not attract too much attention to themselves, thereby visually reducing the space.
Leave large images for large kitchens. They can occupy a significant part of the wall, be built into niches and be decorated with lighting. Small paintings can easily be "lost" on the spacious wall of a large kitchen.
It will be interesting to look at the panel-blende with the image of a spiral staircase
A painted spiral staircase located in the corner of the room visually pushes the boundaries. To achieve the desired effect of creating the illusion of additional space, it is important to correctly fit the panel so that the staircase organically complements the interior, and does not look like an unnecessary element.
Decor for different interior styles
When arranging the kitchen interior, one should be guided by the rule: each room has its own look, pattern and size. The theme of decoration should match the style of the interior.
For kitchens decorated in a classic style, panels depicting ripe fruits and vegetables, alluring picturesque landscapes and reproductions of works by great artists are perfect.
A panel with fragrant coffee beans will cheer you up every time, reminding you of a pleasant meeting with friends.
Carved wooden and ceramic panels will organically fit into the interior of the kitchen, decorated in country or Provence style. These can be wall compositions using dried fruits, spices and flowers.
Panel for country style and Provence
A worthy addition to modern interiors such as hi-tech or minimalism will be dynamic pictures depicting evening cityscapes or unusual abstractions. Graphic panels in a minimalist strict frame will fit well here.
Kitchen panel for the interior in a modern style
Wall compositions made from old posters, yellowed pages of books and illustrations from magazines can emphasize the exquisite rigor and beauty of a loft-style kitchen.
It's hard to believe that such an original decoration is made from ordinary wine corks.
All sorts of collages, abstractions and landscapes are perfect for the dining area.
Modular compositions look interesting, in which the image is divided into several separate parts.
Images hung side by side create a single holistic picture.
Properly selected in terms of design and style, the panel can favorably emphasize the interior design, giving it its own “zest” and individuality.
Creating a still life from an eggshell
In contemporary art, the effect of artificial aging of the surface, called "crackle", is very popular. It is obtained by coating products with special spray paints or carquelure varnish. But you can create such an unusual effect with the help of an ordinary eggshell.
The convex surface of the crushed pieces allows you to create three-dimensional mosaics
The technique of making a decorative panel from an eggshell is not too difficult to perform, anyone can master it. It includes a number of main steps.
Selection of necessary materials
To make a bright and appetizing still life, you will need:
- 2 pieces of fibreboard;
- napkins or rice paper;
- peeled eggshell;
- transparent file A4 or A3 format;
- acrylic primer;
- decoupage glue;
- acrylic paints;
- PVA glue.
It is convenient to use hardboard as a solid basis for creating a composition. It holds its shape perfectly and has excellent moisture resistant properties. The size of the workpiece depends on the dimensions of the composition being created.
It is convenient to apply the image with a brush and foam rubber sponges
In advance, you need to prepare the shell from several eggs. Shells from both raw and boiled eggs of any shade are suitable for work. The shell removed from the eggs should be cleaned of traces of organic matter by removing the inner film and washing them in a soda solution.
Formation of egg crackle
Laying the blank cut out of the plate face up on a flat surface, cover it with a primer. Acrylic primer is conveniently applied with a foam sponge. So it is distributed more evenly, and dries faster.
The process of creating egg crackle is quite laborious. It takes the most time. Start spreading from the center or from the corner of the sheet, placing the eggshell with the convex side out.
On the workpiece area covered with PVA glue, lay out a small piece of eggshell and lightly press
When pressed with a finger or a toothpick, the shell will be covered with a network of cracks and break up into several pieces, covering part of the surface of the base. With the help of a match or a toothpick, move the pieces, giving them the desired position and filling the voids on the sheet.
Having covered the sheet with pieces of crushed eggshell, to give the surface strength, the product is covered with another layer of PVA
Pieces of the shell cover the entire surface. The base with the finished shell mosaic is left for 5-8 hours until completely dry.
Drawing an image
After the glue has completely dried, the workpiece is covered with acrylic primer and dried again.
To speed up the process, the surface can be dried with a hair dryer.
As an image for decoupage, you can use any beautiful multilayer napkin or printout taken from the network. Rice paper is excellent for these purposes, which can be easily purchased in specialized stores. When creating a panel, you can not take the entire pattern on the napkin, but only cut out a piece of the desired size from it.
Your task is to glue the napkin without wrinkles
To obtain a smooth, wrinkle-free surface, you need to put the top layer of the napkin on which the image is applied, face down on the file. The file is carefully applied to the dry workpiece so that the pattern takes the desired position. The applied fragment is leveled with fingers. Remove the file carefully.
The image is covered with decoupage glue
When the glue dries, only a couple of strokes remain: paint on some elements in the picture with paints, giving them greater expressiveness, and cover the panel with varnish.
Installations from improvised materials
Hand-made panels are a real author's work that can act as a worthy decoration of the interior and a source of pride for its owner.
Fabric "pictures" in patchwork technique
An elegant decoration of a kitchen in the style of shabby chic or Provence can be a textile panel using the patchwork technique. Wall compositions sewn from the remnants of fabric, which echo the design of furniture and windows, will harmoniously fit into the design of the room.
Original compositions from textile accessories
To make such a panel on a sheet of paper, you need to draw a full-sized sketch. Then, from separate paper sheets, make patterns of drawing elements for appliqué. After making sure that the sizes match, the patterns are transferred to fabric cuts. Having laid out the elements of the application on the basis, they are adjusted to each other, carefully fastening with pins.
Threads for fabric appliqués are selected to match, or a contrasting contour is made
When using figures in a composition to give volumetric forms, they are stuffed with the remnants of a thin synthetic winterizer. The composed composition is glued or sewn to the base.
On a patchwork panel, pockets for small items and hooks for towels will look appropriate.
To create a functional composition, a “picture” made of fabric can be supplemented with capacious pockets for storing kitchen accessories.
"Delicious" compositions of dry berries and spices
The use of dried flowers, fruits, nuts and fragrant spices is a trendy theme.
To create a composition, you will need a frame with a substrate and the contents of your lockers. Feel free to use:
- coffee beans;
- citrus fruits;
- cinnamon sticks;
- dried flower heads;
- nuts and beans;
- any kind of cereals;
- even bagels and bagels.
The process of creating a composition is quite simple. A piece of cardboard, the size of which corresponds to the size of the frame, is covered with burlap or any other selected fabric. The material is fixed on the base, fixing it with nails or “planting” it on hot melt adhesive.
Large compositional elements are laid out on the front side of the fabric, choosing the most attractive arrangement option: a common pattern or an ornament from individual mini-paintings.
Having determined for themselves what the finished composition will look like, the materials laid out on the canvas are alternately lifted above the base and, after applying the glue, are laid out in their original place. You can hang the "picture" on a regular cord, or attach it to a metal surface using magnets.
Any materials at hand can serve as the basis for the manufacture of luxurious installations: yellowed atlases, bottle caps, cutlery ... The choice is limited only by the style direction of the kitchen interior and your imagination.
Video master class: three-dimensional panels for the kitchen
Interior design is a complex and multifaceted system, with many components. Just wallpaper or painted walls no longer satisfy the average consumer. You always want to bring some zest to the interior. A small detail that will set the direction for the perception of the design as a whole.
One of these details, of course, can be considered a wall panel, which, of course, can be bought ready-made and just hung, or you can do it yourself, and then it will surely become a key element.

What is a panel
In fact, a panel is any composition on a wall or ceiling that has its own, clearly defined place in the interior. By the way, any picture hanging in a house in a strictly defined place can also be considered a panel. As well as compositions from photographs or bas-reliefs.
Today, do-it-yourself wall compositions are becoming more and more fashionable, and they act not only as decoration, but also reflect the inner world of their creator. There are many materials for making panels and the choice depends on the design features and personal skills of the one who works with them.
Decorative panel on the wall
The most popular materials are:
- Paper.
- Wood.
- Mirrors.
- Ceramic tiles with glazed surface.
- Gypsum or alabaster.
- Small stones and shells.
- All kinds of fabrics.
- Photographs both from the personal archive and printed from the Internet.
How the composition will look like is a matter of taste and your own idea of \u200b\u200bbeauty, and I will only consider a few of the most popular options that can completely change the entire design in the room.
How the composition will look like is a matter of taste and your own idea of beauty
Choice of location and theme
An important aspect of a well-designed design is harmony. It is she who creates coziness and comfort in the room. You can often find very rich interiors in which a lot of money has been invested, but this does not stop them from being tasteless. On the other hand, you can consider the Japanese style of minimalism, where there is practically no furniture and accessories, but at the same time, elegance and comfort are felt in everything.
Achieving harmony is not easy, and one of the most important nuances is strict adherence to the chosen concept. If a Provence-style interior is planned, then the composition on the wall in the form of, say, a portrait of a pop star will completely destroy harmony and bring dissonance. Each style has its own, clearly defined idea, and it is she who must be followed when selecting all the elements.
No less important is the place where the hand-made panel will be located. For example, compositions of mirrors or any other materials with a reflection effect are best placed in front of a window or near light sources. A mirror hidden in the shade creates a gloomy and depressing mood. There will never be comfort near him.
If the composition is made of family photographs, then its place is on the most prominent section of the wall, where it will attract attention.
An important aspect of a well-designed design is harmony.
As for the general appearance, there are a few tips that will help you correctly place accents and distinguish the panel from the general style:
- In any composition, it is desirable to use a baguette or frame, and its color must be clearly defined. If the composition is made in the same color scheme as the wall decoration, then the baguette should play in contrast, and if the color scheme is contrasting, then the frame should repeat the color of the wall.
- The theme of the composition should correspond to the purpose of the room where it is located. In the bathroom and toilet, a water theme is suitable. In the kitchen, food. And so on.
- The materials of the composition must match the style of the interior. If this is Provence or country, then the materials are stone, wood, fabrics. And for hi-tech or art deco, glass, metal and plastic are suitable.
Now that you have decided on the theme of the composition and location, you can proceed directly to the manufacturing process with your own hands.
We make panels
The most important thing you need to make a decorative panel with your own hands is patience and perseverance. Often this is a very painstaking work, which can take a lot of time. But the result will not be long in coming, so we stock up on creative enthusiasm and go ahead, to work.

Triplex composition at home
Above, I have already mentioned compositions from photographs, they are the most in demand today. Photo archives have moved to computers, and the remaining albums are gathering dust for a long time in the drawers of tables or chests of drawers.
Memorable events of personal life or simply captured landscapes and views can be transferred to the wall. Modern technologies allow you to enlarge the picture to any size, or you can make a collage with your own hands.
If there is no desire to carry a pile of photographs to a specialized studio, you can make a composition from printed photographs on glass.
For this you will need:
- Two sheets of glass of the same size with sanded edges.
- Baguettes of the required length.
- Paint for glass surfaces.
- Glue reactive with glass.
Panel of wedding photos
Everything you need for the composition can be purchased at hobby stores, and a set of photographs can be printed on your own on a computer and enlarged to the desired size.
Important! Glass for photo composition should be very thin. As a rule, it is 1.5-2 mm. Since glasses of greater thickness have more weight, and this is undesirable.
We cover one of the glasses with paint and wait for it to dry completely. We choose the color ourselves based on personal preferences and the tips presented above. Next, you need to make a collage by laying out photos on stained glass. When the composition is ready, apply a thin strip of glue along the edge of the glass and carefully cover with a second layer. The glue sets almost instantly, so everything must be done quickly and avoid mistakes.
Now it remains to cut down and install the baguettes and the panel is ready, you can hang it on the wall with liquid nails or glass glue.
Interesting! Factory triplex glass is produced using a similar technology, with the only difference being that after joining the layers, it is sent to a furnace, where it is soldered at high temperature, turning the glass into a durable monolith.
Glass paintings on the wall
Gypsum bas-relief or three-dimensional composition
Making a composition from gypsum with your own hands is much more difficult than from glass, but this is how you can get a three-dimensional panel.
Any object can be transferred to a bas-relief, and it is possible to do it with your own hands and at home. Consider the process using the example of a simple cup, the cast of which will look very relevant in the kitchen.
To begin with, we need any container larger in size than the cup we have chosen. We fill the container with sand in such a way as to immerse the cup exactly halfway into it. The surface of the product from which the impression is taken is covered with soapy water so that the mixture does not stick. The original form is ready and now it must be filled with gypsum or alabaster mortar.
Important! When pouring the solution at home, the form must be constantly slightly shaken. This drives out all air bubbles and eliminates the appearance of pores on the surface of the product.
Gypsum panel
When the solution is dry, carefully remove the mold from the container with sand and remove the cup. As a result, we got a cast that exactly repeats the copied product. The cast must be allowed to dry thoroughly, after which it is smeared with the same soapy solution and filled with a new portion of the mixture.
Thus, we got half of our cup, made of plaster. You can make as many such elements as you like, corresponding to the subject.
Finished parts of the composition can be painted in any color. Now it remains to make a frame of baguettes, which is immediately fixed on the wall. The surface is painted and elements can be fixed. Here, as in the first version, liquid nails are suitable.
As you can see, in the creation of such bas-reliefs, there is complete freedom of imagination and creativity, and the finished product is able to decorate any room that lacked zest before.
Fabric panels for many unremarkable decor. But often a simple craft in the hands of a talented craftsman can turn into a work of art. It is impossible to give certain patterns here, since everything is built on one's own imagination and imagination. The main factor is the development of technology, various master classes will help with this. In the future, everything depends only on the flight of fancy.
Choosing a theme for creating a panel
Before you start work, you should understand that the panel must be designed in a certain style. It should be in line with the decor of the room in which it will be located. Otherwise, the product can stand out from the general theme and amaze everyone present with its bad taste.
Many ideas and stylistic solutions can be found in various articles, which are accompanied by a large number of photos. It remains to choose the idea that you liked the most and fits the existing interior.
Classic, country, provence
The ideal panel theme for rooms decorated in the style of classics, country, Provence are various still lifes or floral motifs. The compositions in the form of landscapes also look good. Try to get away from pretentiousness, it is better to give the appearance of the product maximum simplicity and cheerfulness. The composition should bring an atmosphere of relaxation into the interior and evoke only positive emotions.
Appropriate in the interior of the corresponding style and abstraction. It can be noted that it is a universal option, as it suits, in principle, any style.
Modern
Art Nouveau is distinguished by the presence of strict geometric lines. That is why the Art Nouveau panels should contain compositions with different clear patterns. The design of the product should also be moderate. Frames for framing panels are used quite simple, almost invisible.
Scandinavian style
One of the rare themes in the Slavic expanses is the Scandinavian style. It implies brightness and practicality, is distinguished by the presence of appropriate ornaments and motifs. Even a novice master can create such a fabric panel on the wall using various materials at hand, such as beads, shells, ribbons.
Also on the fabric panel there can be images of deer, Christmas trees, letters, lines, cells and other things.
loft style
In the design of a modern interior, design solutions in the loft style are quite popular. There are also certain requirements here. The theme is quite diverse, but the panel should be made only in two or three tones.
Despite the strict and concise lines, the loft-style panel attracts the eye and looks perfect in the interior.
Fabric on fabric (work basics)
Paintings on fabric began to come into fashion relatively recently. But, recently, the panel is increasingly beginning to occupy a leading niche in the interior of the room. There are many admirers of this art. Some needlewomen try to make compositions with their own hands.
After the base is ready, they begin to select the elements from which the drawing will be created.

An outfit is prepared: clothes and a hat are cut out of red material, mustaches, a beard, a hat lapel are prepared from white fabric or a piece of fur. For the sleigh, silver or gold-colored fabric is used.
