Bathroom Wallpaper

Is your bathroom looking a little drab and dated? Perhaps it needs some wall candy! Contrary to popular belief, bathroom wallpaper is a great choice for updating tired bathrooms. Choose from a huge selection of elegant, fun, natural, simple, intricate, traditional and ultra-modern designs. Whether you want to add a pop of colour with a bathroom feature wall, create a theme or give the walls some depth, we have a wide range of budget-friendly bathroom wallpaper you’ll want to splash out on. Don’t forget, some of our range are moisture resistant and waterproof.

What are the benefits of using wallpaper for bathrooms?

Above all, bathroom wallpaper looks amazing. There’s something a little unexpected and luxurious about giving such a practical room so much attention. Bathroom wallpaper adds an element of elegance that just can’t be replicated with tiles and paint. While you could spend forever creating texture and patterns with a paintbrush, stencil or trowel, bathroom wallpaper is a ready-made solution to update your bathroom decor. It’s relatively easy to hang textured and patterned wallpaper – particularly World of Wallpaper’s paste-to-the-wall options. Plus, bathroom wallpaper offers a much larger choice of designs, colours and styles, while covering minor imperfections in your wall.

What is the best type of wallpaper for bathrooms?

Almost any wallpaper can be used in the bathroom, but the best material for high humidity areas is vinyl. Traditional cellulose-based wallpapers can’t withstand the steam and water droplets produced by baths and showers so they shouldn’t be used in those areas. If you want your bathroom wallpaper to last longer choose vinyl as its moisture resistance helps survive splashes from a shower or bath. Make sure your bathroom has a good ventilation system and install a high backsplash behind sinks and a long wall buffer by baths. Almost all of our vinyl and non-woven wallpaper for bathrooms are washable and moisture proof!

A wide range of bathroom wallpaper

From fabulous florals to eye-popping patterns, bathroom wallpaper comes in an array of styles. We stock renowned wallpaper brands including Elle Decoration, Holden Decor, Muriva and Galerie at great prices. Immerse yourself in your own underwater paradise with the Harlequin Atoll Coral Wallpaper which is perfect for adding a subtle yet striking nautical theme! 3D and geometric patterns such as the Geometric Textured Vinyl Wallpaper Gold by Erismann introduce a textural dimension that softens a bathroom’s hard surfaces. Many of our designs mimic other materials such as ceramic tiles for that clean bathroom effect, exposed brick for a modern industrial feel and wood panels for a traditional aesthetic. Create the illusion of high-end materials for less. For example, if you dream of having a marble bathroom but don’t have the budget, marble effect wallpaper for bathrooms is a low-cost alternative such as Elle Decoration’s Mystic Spell Marble Textured Vinyl Wallpaper.

Create a bathroom feature wall

Due to the limitations of placing wallpaper directly behind showers and baths, we recommend creating a bathroom feature wall to update your bathroom decor. Whether you’re relaxing in the bath with a view of botanical and wildlife motifs such as Muriva’s Eden collection or facing the early mornings with the light and bright Holden Opus Collection, a feature wall can change the mood of a room. While a deep, dark design like Mini Moderns Whitby Wallpaper in Midnight and Copper might be too overwhelming for a whole room, it adds instant impact as a bathroom feature wall. If you have a larger bathroom and you’re struggling to decide on what theme or material to use, you can create an eclectic look where each wall is completely different.
