When you think of bathroom walls, tile or paint might come to mind first. They are the most common solution homeowners choose because they are known as the safest option for areas prone to water and humidity. However, that does not mean these are your only options.
Namely, wallpaper is quickly becoming a favorite way to add personality and style, even in high-humidity spaces. Considering that we now have practical solutions for almost everything, wallpaper in the bathroom is a viable option.
So, if you are wondering is it a good idea to put wallpaper in the bathroom, the answer is yes - provided that you use the right approach and products.
Below, you will read about our options and our recommendations for wallpaper in bathrooms.
Understanding the Bathroom Environment
Before you decide on your bathroom design, you need to understand the environment. In other words, bathrooms are challenging for most wall finishes due to constant humidity, temperature fluctuations, and occasional splashes.
Traditional wallpaper is not made to withstand this kind of exposure since it can peel, bubble, or fade over time. Thus the reason why many people avoid using it in these areas of the home.
Nonetheless, there is another solution! You can use moisture-resistant bathroom wallpaper specifically designed for wet or humid environments.
Introducing AquaSKIN: The Specialist Solution
For bathrooms with a shower or bathtub, we recommend using our AquaSKIN system over our wallcoverings. As the authorized reseller of AquaSKIN for Glamora wallcoverings, we offer a solution purpose-built for these conditions.
The AquaSKIN system is a comprehensive kit that ensures your wallpaper is protected from water, adheres optimally, even in tricky spots, and stands up to the wear and tear of everyday bathroom life. This means you can install wallpaper in the bathroom without worrying about water ruining it.
However, you should know that AquaSKIN is more than just waterproof. It comes with additional features that homeowners love:
-
It creates a super matte, transparent finish that is both sophisticated and contemporary.
-
The system includes an adhesive, a waterproofing protective finish, and a specific sealant, each working together to keep your walls looking their best.
-
It is water-based, free from hazardous solvents, and meets international fire safety and VOC standards for peace of mind.
So, the result is a surface that is extra washable, stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, and wear-resistant. And that is exactly what you need in your bathroom!
Where Can You Use Wallpaper in the Bathroom?
With AquaSKIN, you can install bathroom wallpaper in areas that are exposed to humidity and constant moisture, including showers and tubs. When installed correctly, you can even place it in wet areas.
However, since installing shower wallpaper requires precise surface preparation and sealing, we strongly advise consulting an experienced professional to determine whether the space is suitable for AquaSKIN and that the system is installed correctly.
Versatile Applications Beyond The Home
It is important to point out that AquaSKIN is not just for residential bathrooms. It is also ideal for commercial and hospitality spaces, such as hotel bathrooms, wellness areas, professional kitchens, gyms, and spas.
These are all spaces where durability, hygiene, and water resistance are top priorities. So, using this solution in such areas would be ideal.
