Wallpapers in the bathroom – an original way to achieve style and coziness

Bathroom not only in tiles – wallpaper as a modern alternative

While ceramic tiles have long been the first choice for bathroom design, more and more people are looking for more individual solutions. Wallpaper can be just the thing to give a room a unique character – from delicate floral patterns, through organic textures, to bold geometric accents.

Wallcolors offers vinyl wallpapers and Arch and Dots wall decorations, perfect for bathrooms. They are moisture-resistant and easy to clean, creating a completely different atmosphere than traditional tiles.

Where should you use wallpaper in the bathroom?

Wallpaper works well on a single, prominent wall, such as behind a mirror, bathtub, or sink. You can also combine it with tiles to create an interesting contrast – for example, half the wall covered with tiles and the other half with wallpaper from the Kids World, Bloom, or Abstract collections.

In areas exposed to direct contact with water, such as around showers, we recommend using the wet system – a specialized protection that effectively protects the wallpaper from moisture. This allows you to enjoy beautiful results even in challenging conditions.

What wallpaper patterns are suitable for the bathroom?

Styling your bathroom with wallpaper offers almost limitless possibilities. When choosing a pattern, it's important to match it to the size and style of the interior:

• Small bathroom? Opt for light wallpapers with subtle patterns that will visually enlarge the space. Designs from the Neutral or Natural collections will work perfectly.
• A large bathroom? Here, you can indulge in bolder motifs – plant prints, vertical stripes, or graphic structures. Patterns from the Geometry and Urban collections are great choices.

Wallpaper and tiles – the perfect combination

Combining wallpaper with tiles is one of the most interesting interior design trends. For example, you can use tiles on the lower portion of the wall and wallpaper the top – achieving not only a unique look but also functionality. In this combination, the wallpaper serves a decorative purpose, while the tiles protect the wall from splashes.

What to remember when installing wallpaper in the bathroom?

For wallpaper to maintain its durability and beautiful appearance, proper preparation of the surface is crucial. The wall must be:

• smooth and free from any glue or plaster residue,
• completely dry,
• protected with a wet system if you plan to install it near wet areas.

Waterproof wallpaper glue and silicone edge protection are a must-have. After installation, wait at least 24 hours before using the bathroom for the first time – this will allow the glue to cure and the wallpaper to adhere permanently to the surface.

Self-adhesive bathroom decorations – quick effect, maximum style

Wallcolors also offers self-adhesive products, such as the Dots wall decorations and the arched Arch. They're ideal for areas with lower humidity, such as near windows, mirrors, or transition areas. Installation is simple and requires no adhesive—all you need is a clean, dry wall.

Colors that will emphasize the atmosphere of the bathroom

If you want to create a harmonious arrangement, combine wallpaper with paints from the Wallcolors range. We especially recommend:

• Collingwood OC-28 – a bright, elegant shade that visually enlarges the space,
• Hale Navy HC-154 – deep navy as an accent to light wallpaper patterns,
• Revere Pewter HC-172 – a warm, neutral base color for modern interiors.
