What criteria does choosing kitchen wall cladding materials depend on?

Choosing kitchen wall decoration materials not only needs to ensure aesthetics but also must meet 3 criteria of durability, functionality and suitability for the space.

1. Material Features: Kitchen wall decoration materials must be waterproof, heat resistant and easy to clean because this is an area exposed to grease and high temperatures.
2. Space area: Directly affects the choice of decorative materials. For small kitchens (<10m²), light-colored ceramic tiles or glass should be used to create a spacious and airy feeling.
3. Design style: A modern kitchen will need different materials than a classic or minimalist kitchen.

For example, a kitchen with a modern style should use plastic panels made of imitation stone, natural stone, glass, and ceramic tiles. If you love a minimalist style for the kitchen, aluminum-coated decals and monochrome plastic panels are the most suitable choices.
