Can Italian Paint Be Used in a Kitchen?

Yes. Italian paint can be used on kitchen walls; it is a good choice behind the dining table and on walls without cupboards. Behind the hob and sink it needs a protective final coat against grease and water, or a glass panel.

Three zones in a kitchen

• Dining corner and free walls: any decorative technique can be used.
• Above the worktop: choose a smooth technique sealed with a clear, wipeable protective coat.
• Behind the hob: hot fat splashes; the safest solution is toughened glass in front of the finish.

Which texture suits a kitchen?

Smooth, tight surfaces are easy to wipe: marmorino and fine concrete effect, for example. Deeply pored travertine and coarse textures hold cooking vapour; use them on a wall away from the hob.

Cleaning

A protected surface is wiped with a damp cloth and neutral soap. Degreasing sprays and scouring pads wear the protection away.

In an open-plan kitchen, can the wall match the living room?

Yes; in open-plan homes carrying the texture of the living room wall into the kitchen ties the space together. Only the protective coat is strengthened on the kitchen side. During the survey Erdağ Yapı makes its recommendation according to where the hob and sink are.
