WALLPAPER IN YOUR BATHROOM?
You would not believe how many times people have asked us at Arte whether our wallpaper and wallcoverings also work in bathrooms. The answer is simple: yes, they do!
Always thát space
Once upon a time, bathrooms were designed purely for functionality. A bathroom was typically a space you left as soon as you could to return quickly to whatever you were doing. How many houses do you know where the bathroom is always that space "that we'll get around to someday, once we've sorted out the kitchen/living room/bedroom".
So can you use wallpaper in a bathroom? Of course!
A place to unwind
Fortunately, those days are long behind us. Nowadays, we prefer our bathroom to be beautiful, atmospheric and elegant. We like to retreat into it, seeing it as a place to relax where we can finally take some time for ourselves. Such a space deserves an elegant interior, with jewel-like taps, stylishly finished mirrors and ambient lighting. A beautiful, luxurious wallcovering that makes your bathroom feel even more personal adds a nice finishing touch.
What about water?
Many interior design enthusiasts worry that wallpaper is not suited for bathrooms, which are essentially damp and steamy. No need to worry, though, as long as you make sure your bathroom is adequately ventilated – which you need to do anyway, because you will inevitably run into problems otherwise. Obviously, the walls must also be completely dry before you start wallpapering, but this applies to any finish. It goes without saying that you can't wallpaper the shower – but you probably weren't planning to, right?
Vinyl wallpaper is fully washable and resistant to water
Go all in
Depending on your family's lifestyle, a splashback behind the bath or sinks might be a good idea. Here's a handy tip: Arte's vinyl wallpaper is fully washable, which means it's resistant to water. So this may be a better choice if your kids are prone to splashing around when they're in the bath. But other than that, nothing stops you from using the wallpaper of your choice in your bathroom. So feel free to go all in. The sky is the limit!
Now all you have to do is choose...
Once you've decided to give your bathroom walls a makeover, it's time for the trickiest part of the job: choosing a wallpaper! As we already explained, you need to take your family's lifestyle into account. Other than that, it's all about what you like.
Why not turn your bathroom into a tropical rainforest with a botanical print? Or keep things sleek and soothing with a stylish plain wallpaper that has a beautiful texture? Want full-on glamour with inlays or gold thread? Anything is possible as long as you feel good about your choice. And what happens if you get bored of it one day? Fortunately, wallpaper is much easier to replace than tiles...
