The use of PVC panels is a fairly common technique used in bathroom design.

However, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, is categorically against such an interior solution.

Let's find out what arguments exist against PVC panels in bathrooms.

We won't deny it: this material is probably the most budget-friendly of those presented on the modern market. But it also looks the same - cheap and ugly.

So, if you decide to take this step, don’t expect the bathroom to look stylish.

But that's not the worst of it. Much more dangerous is the fact that mold can form under such panels, which, unfortunately, is not uncommon in bathrooms.

Hence the conclusion: plastic panels in the bathroom are only good for disguising the niche where the meter and other utilities are installed.

Instead, we recommend that you use classic tiles or a combination of tiles with paint, wallpaper, etc. for wall decoration.
