When talking about bathroom renovation, associations arise with ceramic tiles, paint or cheaper plastic materials.

Many new homeowners avoid wallpapering their bathrooms, either out of habit or fear of being different from everyone else.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told whether it is worth gluing wallpaper in the bathroom.

Is it possible or not?

If wallpaper can be pasted in the work area in the kitchen, then why can't you paste wallpaper in the bathroom? Modern manufacturers provide ample opportunities for this.

Therefore, it is possible to glue waterproof wallpaper in the bathroom.

Where to glue

Definitely, wallpapering a bathroom can create a unique interior, a cozy atmosphere, and also save a lot on repairs.

But it is better to decorate the area near the sink, in the shower or near the bathtub with tiles. Otherwise, splashes of water and soap suds will soon ruin even the most moisture-resistant material.

As for the ceiling, it is better to use classic materials - paint or a suspended ceiling.

Flaws

Despite its economy, this option has its drawbacks.

Firstly, wallpaper will become unusable very quickly. Compared to tiles, its service life is short.

Secondly, due to high humidity, they may begin to swell, peel off from the walls, and come unstuck.

Thirdly, high humidity and poor ventilation can cause mold to appear on wallpaper, which will not happen with tiles.
