6 Tips for choosing wallpaper for your bathroom

The wallpaper in the bathroom is not quite the usual finish. However, contrary to many stereotypes, such interiors are increasingly found on the Internet. According to experts, the main thing is to choose the right type of wallpaper. Is wallpapering a bathroom really economical? How long can such a finish last? How to properly glue the wallpaper in the bath? What disadvantages can you face? You will find the answers to these questions, as well as tips for choosing wallpaper for the bathroom in this article.

PROS AND CONS

As with any type of decoration, wallpapering has both advantages and disadvantages.

But in this case, it is imperative to take into account the specifics of the premises and operating conditions. Let’s start with the merits:

– First of all, it is a really economical type of finishing. Even despite the fact that a square meter of tiles costs about the same as a high-quality roll of wallpaper, do not forget that in the latter case, you will cover a much larger part of the wall for the same funds. In addition, you do not have to spend additional funds on a large amount of adhesive and grout;

– The ability to carry out finishing work yourself. You can glue the wallpaper even without experience, in contrast to laying the tiles yourself. And this, again, will reduce the cost of repairs;

– The speed of work. If desired, a small bathroom can be pasted over in one day;

– The ability to quickly change the interior. If you get bored with the finish, you can easily make adjustments by simply re-sticking the wallpaper. It is much easier to remove the canvases than to dismantle the old tile covering;

– Maintainability. If permanent stains or scratches form on the surface over time, it is not necessary to completely re-glue the wallpaper. A partial replacement is sufficient. Such a situation should be foreseen in advance and buy material with a small stock or not throw away the leftovers;

– Decorativeness. The choice of colors, patterns, and textures of the wallpaper is very wide. This gives you a lot of freedom to make your fantasies come true and select the ideal material;

– And of course, the interior itself, where wallpaper is used, looks warmer and more comfortable.

Now about the disadvantages:

– The main problem is the increased susceptibility of the base paper to moisture. Over time, it will saturate the liquid in itself and the canvases can simply move away from the walls in whole strips. Such consequences can be avoided by choosing wallpaper on a non-woven basis;

– An improperly selected adhesive can change color over time under the influence of moisture and appear on the surface in the form of noticeable yellow spots. This can be solved by purchasing a special waterproof wallpaper glue;

– Even if you have taken into account the above, we recommend that you refrain from gluing wallpaper in places of possible contact with water. Namely – above the sink and near the bath. Not a single wallpaper can withstand regular watering. This leads to the need to use a combined finish. For example, wallpaper + a small area covered with tiles.

As you can see, there are drawbacks, but they can be avoided.
