Why Sculleries Are the Perfect Spot for Statement Wallpaper

By Perla Paperhanging | Baton Rouge Luxury Wallpaper Installer

Once a utilitarian space reserved for behind-the-scenes tasks, the scullery — also known as a secondary kitchen or butler’s pantry — is having a serious moment in modern home design. And it’s no surprise that more homeowners and designers are choosing wallpaper to make these tucked-away gems feel just as beautiful as the main kitchen.

At Perla Paperhanging, we’ve seen a sharp rise in wallpaper installation requests for sculleries, and we love what it means for creative design.

Why Wallpaper Works in a Scullery

1. It’s the Ultimate Surprise Moment

The scullery is often hidden from view, making it the perfect place to add an unexpected pop of color, texture, or pattern. It’s where you can go a little bolder or moodier than you might in a main living space.

2. It Defines a Distinct Zone

In open-concept homes, wallpaper in the scullery helps define the space and give it its own identity. Whether it’s a prep zone, coffee bar, or cocktail area, wallpaper makes it feel purposeful and elevated.

3. It Adds Texture Without Competing With Cabinets

Most sculleries are compact, lined with custom cabinetry and shelving. A wallpapered backsplash or accent wall adds visual interest without overcrowding the space.

Our Favorite Papers for Sculleries

We love using:

• Grasscloth for warmth and texture

• Clay-coated prints for subtle drama

• Playful patterns that reflect personality

• Metallic wallpapers for a bit of shine in low-light areas

Of course, selecting the right wallpaper also depends on humidity, ventilation, and how much “splash zone” activity the space sees. We’ll help you choose the right paper for both style and function.
