Neutral & Beige Check & Plaid Wallpaper for Kitchens

Checks and plaids – gingham, tartan, windowpane, dogtooth – bring country-house cosiness and quiet tailoring.

Wallpaper in kitchens adds personality to a room dominated by hard surfaces. Choose a scrubbable paper and keep it away from direct splashes behind hobs and sinks.

Neutral wallpaper adds pattern and depth while keeping a room light and adaptable.

Our edit of 11 original designs includes dogtooth, gingham, tartan, windowpane check. Highlights from the edit include Juniper Windowpane Check, Mallory Windowpane Check, Carraway Windowpane Check.

Styling tips

  • Mix scales: a large check on the walls with a small gingham on a cushion feels relaxed, not fussy.
  • Layer textures – linen, wool, oak – so neutrals never feel flat.
  • A breakfast nook or dining end of the kitchen is the ideal spot.
  • Kitchens, boot rooms and children's rooms all suit checks.

How much will I need?

A typical kitchen wall of about 3.0 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 6 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 2 rolls – from £88.40 on Standard paper to £145.08 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.

Make it your own

Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
