The 1x1 of wall design in the bathroom
Fresh, light, and bold: Bring a cheerful mood into your space with this flowery idea.
Wallpapers work very well in the bathroom: they’re a homey alternative to tile mirrors and, with the right design, also a design eye-catcher. Pay attention to the particular material before making your choice.
The reason: Conventional models made of paper or rough fiber aren’t waterproof, and do poorly in moist environments. Pay attention to the DIN EN 235 standard about waterproof capability when making your decision. To be on the safe side, choose the highest protection class “Highly abrasion-resistant.”
Suitable materials include:
Non-woven wallpaper: Wide selection available. From stone or 3D look, graphic patterns to photo wallpaper, anything is possible. Non-woven wallpaper is breathable and moisture-regulating; it can be used in all areas that do not come into direct contact with water.
Fiberglass wallpaper: Comes in different colors and atmospheric designs. It is absolutely shock-proof, tear-proof, and slip-proof, and can also be used in the shower area.
Optimal processing is key for models installed in the bathroom. The edges have to be glued seamlessly, so that moisture doesn't accumulate underneath.
If you don’t want to give up on a luxurious option, you can also treat your favorite model with a suitable paint coating. How well this works depends on the particular material composition and protective paint. Depending on the model, the application may cause color changes. To avoid surprises here, you should seek advice from a specialist.

Are you a playful personality? Do you have a strong sense of form? Or do you like things to be straightforward? With wallpaper, you can set very personal accents in your room design. You can make this rather functional area of your home more homey without a lot of effort.

Color combinations: Further enhance the effect of your interior furnishings. For example, models in a natural look that emphasize a calming mood with several wooden elements.
Mix of materials: Used thoughtfully, a mix of different materials brings excitement into the room: Design your walls in the lower area with plain tiles or textured plaster, and use wallpaper in the upper area to highlight the wall design.
Photo wallpapers: Set the design with panoramic nature or macro shots under a motto and create a special atmosphere. Have your own shots made and keep great moments in vivid memory.
When it comes to wall design, you have a great deal of creative freedom and can play with colors and shapes. If you pay attention to the right material, the path towards a bathroom design with that special something becomes clear.
