Yes, you can wallpaper a bathroom, with the right zone, the right material and good ventilation. In a guest toilet or behind the washbasin, wallpaper quickly becomes the most beautiful detail in the home.

Suitable and unsuitable zones

  • Well suited: guest toilet, the wall opposite the shower, above tiles or behind the vanity at a distance from the basin.
  • Only with protection: right at the basin; use a glass or tiled splashback there.
  • Not suitable: the shower area and walls that get wet directly.

Which material?

  • Vinyl surfaces with the washable or scrubbable wave symbol handle moisture and cleaning best.
  • Painted glass fibre is dimensionally stable and very robust with a paint suited to wet rooms.
  • Murals: one large motif from the wallpaper panels transforms a small guest toilet.

What to watch when hanging

  1. The substrate must be dry, clean and primed.
  2. Use the adhesive recommended by the manufacturer and remove paste at the seams immediately.
  3. Seal edges to bath and tiles neatly with silicone.
  4. Ventilate after every shower; constant moisture harms any wall.
