Speech in this article will not go at all about the apron in which the hostess is dressed for cooking, as it might seem at first glance. We will talk about an interesting design solution for the kitchen interior, which will beautifully and harmoniously complement it, as well as protect the walls from various kitchen workers discomfiture (splashes, heat and humidity).
Criteria for choosing a kitchen apron
To begin with, I propose to define the basic parameters that should be followed when choosing an apron for a kitchen set. Putting myself in the user's place, I determined the following basic criteria:
- design;
- strength and durability;
- the cost.
Types of kitchen aprons
Depending on the materials from which kitchen aprons are made, they are subdivided into the following types, as shown below.
Kitchen apron made of plastic (PVC)
The main advantage is the availability and ease of installation. Plastic kitchen apron can easily be cut with the aim of making holes, for example, for sockets, as well as for forming a mosaic.
Disadvantages:
- scratches when washing with hard sponges and brushes;
- little resistant to food colorings;
- contains harmful substances;
- relatively low resistance to moisture and temperature.

Kitchen panel apron made of MDF
Relatively with PVC has greater reliability. It is easier to wash from dirt, because the MDF boards are smooth and even. Can boast a large selection of colors and drawings. In comparison with the kitchen apron made of plastic, the cost of the kitchen panel of the apron from MDF is higher, however it will last longer. Good for classic contrasting design.
Disadvantages:
- releases harmful substances during combustion;
- is destroyed by the prolonged action of moisture.

Glass kitchen apron (skinali)
Kitchen aprons were skinned - an excellent and original find. The decorative panel of glass and the image printed on it with the help of photo printing will bring notes of freshness and originality to the overall interior of your kitchen. In contrast to the kitchen apron made of plastic or the kitchen panel, the apron made of MDF , the kitchen apron skinned has resistance to humidity, fire and heat, the formation of fungus and does not contain any harmful substances (if it is made of natural glass), it is very easy to wash . The glass kitchen apron is fixed to the wall using special fasteners or on a strong adhesive. Do not be afraid that planted on the glue skinned fall off. Such glue is made by a special formula, which ensures the reliability and durability of the entire structure.
Disadvantages:
- large weight design, which is extremely inconvenient for installation;
- openings for sockets need to be calculated accurately and in advance, because they need to be done before firing the glass.

Design of kitchen apron
No wonder this parameter is number one on our list. At the planning stage, purchase or installation of new items, you make sketches or imagine the final exposition of the general interior in your mind. And only after you decide what you want to achieve at the finish of your labors, decide on what material this can be implemented.
Pictures for the kitchen apron are chosen from the calculation of maintaining harmony with the rest of the kitchen interior items. The overall impression of the image can be enhanced with a special highlight.
You can make an apron and monophonic. So to say, to play on the contrast of the color of the kitchen interior. And if you stop the choice on a certain color range is difficult because of the experiences of the combination of shades, you can choose the classic version of the kitchen apron of white color.
