Yes, using wallpaper in a bathroom can be a good idea, but it’s crucial to choose the right type of wallpaper and take precautions to ensure it withstands the high humidity and moisture. Vinyl and vinyl-coated wallpapers are generally recommended for bathrooms due to their water resistance and durability.
Here’s a more detailed look:
Choose the right wallpaper:
Look for moisture-resistant or waterproof wallpaper, especially in areas prone to splashing and humidity like showers and sinks. Vinyl and fabric-backed vinyl wallpapers are popular choices.
Proper preparation:
Ensure the walls are well-prepped before applying wallpaper, using an extra strong wallpaper adhesive.
Manage moisture:
Ensure good ventilation in the bathroom to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth. Consider using a dehumidifier if needed.
Avoid wet areas:
Avoid using regular wallpaper in areas where it will come into direct contact with water, such as shower walls or directly behind the sink.
Protect with varnish:
Apply a coat of clear matte varnish over the wallpaper for extra protection against moisture and to seal in the adhesive.
Consider alternative options:
If you’re hesitant about wallpaper, you can also use tiles or paint in the wet areas and opt for wallpaper in drier sections of the bathroom.
