Adding a decorative touch to a bathroom can be a great way to add some personality and style to the space. Here are some tips to consider when choosing and installing wallpaper:
- Choose a moisture-resistant wallpaper: Bathrooms are typically high-moisture areas, so it’s important to choose one that can withstand humidity and moisture. Look for something that’s specifically labeled as “moisture-resistant” or “bathroom-safe.”
- Pick a design that suits your style: There are endless options, so choose one that complements your personal style and the overall aesthetic of your bathroom and home. Consider colors, patterns, and textures, and how they’ll work with the other elements in the space.
- Prep the walls properly. Make sure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any pre-existing wallpaper or adhesive residue, and patch any holes or cracks.
- Measure the height and width of the walls carefully – add a few extra inches to each measurement to ensure you have enough paper to work with.
- Apply the wallpaper correctly: follow the manufacturer’s instructions, including how to mix the adhesive, how long to soak the paper, and how to line up the seams. Take your time, and work in small sections to avoid mistakes.
This can be a fun and rewarding DIY project, but if you’re not handy, consider hiring a professional installer to ensure the job is seamless.
