Is installing wallpaper in the bathroom a good idea?

Wallpaper instead of tiles in the bathroom is an increasingly popular choice for those who value not only functionality but also unique style. Contrary to popular belief, well-chosen wallpaper can work just as well in a bathroom as traditional tiles. The key to success is choosing a moisture-resistant material and proper installation. Vinyl wallpapers available from Wallcolors are waterproof, easy to clean, and look great in modern interiors. They're the perfect solution for interiors decorated in glamorous, boho, or Scandinavian styles.

To ensure maximum wallpaper durability, it's worth using the WET system – an innovative way to protect wallpaper in wet areas. It involves using a suitable primer, adhesive, and varnish, which together create a waterproof coating that protects walls from moisture. This allows wallpaper to be installed even directly next to a bathtub or shower. The WET system is only used with vinyl wallpapers with a non-woven backing, which are already resistant to moisture and temperature changes. This is the ideal solution for those who want a beautiful, durable, and unique bathroom without the hassle of tiling.

Another advantage of bathroom wallpaper is its ease of installation – it takes less time than laying tiles, and if necessary, it can be relatively easily replaced. However, it's worth remembering that the key to success is care. Wallpaper should be installed on a perfectly prepared, smooth, and dry surface. If using the WET system, it is necessary to apply a special adhesive and seal the surface with varnish. This makes the wallpaper completely splash-proof and ensures long-lasting durability.

If you're looking for an interesting alternative to tiles and want a warmer, more cozy look, bathroom wallpaper is a great choice. Wallcolors offers a wide selection of patterns—from botanicals and geometrics to minimalists. And if you're looking to decorate just one wall, you can complement the others with elegant tiles—creating an interesting contrast of materials and textures.
