The classic solution for finishing a bathroom involves almost mandatory wall cladding with ceramic tiles. This is understandable. The tile has a decent look (and sometimes even beautiful), easy to stick, durable and, most importantly, moisture resistant. After all, the bathroom is a place where a lot of water is used. But there are people who always want something new, so that they are not like everyone else. And they came up with wallpapering the walls in the bathroom. Of course, I had to think and look. Still, there is steam and spray in the bathroom. Not every wallpaper will stand up to this test. But persistent innovators have solved this problem too - wallpaper in the bathroom and what kind.

Wallpaper in the bathroom
Each time has its own fashion. So the fashion has come to paste over the walls in the bathroom with wallpaper. And this does not bother anyone anymore. Of course, this is not the same paper wallpaper that was used to paste over the walls in a room in a communal apartment 50–70 years ago. It is a durable, water-resistant material with a chic pattern. There is plenty to choose from, but you get bored - and change is not a problem.
Bathroom walls can be finished with a variety of materials: PVC panels, artificial stone, mirrors, flexible stone, decorative plaster, moisture-resistant paint, clapboard, self-adhesive film, linoleum, cork coverings, vinyl panels and many others materials. The main thing is that the decoration decorates the bathroom, it would be easy to clean and hygienic. Not bad if the price is affordable. The design must be chosen so that it does not get bored after a short time and does not have to be redone all over again.
It is not only the coating material that is important, the color scale is of great importance. If the bathroom is small, then light colors are preferable, they visually expand the space. In a spacious bathroom, you can experiment with color and pattern.
Bathroom wallpaper is a very smart option. First, it is economical. Any wallpaper is cheaper than ceramic tiles. And the work of tiling is much more expensive than wallpapering the walls. The time required for wallpapering is incomparably less than for tiling. And on occasion, it is much faster to change the entire finish.
But the wallpaper must be chosen correctly.
How to choose wallpaper for the bathroom
First of all, the wallpaper must be moisture resistant. No paper or textile is good. They must be washable. The bases of these wallpapers are different, but the front surface is always protected with a special moisture-resistant composition. The back side has good adhesion - the wallpaper adheres firmly to concrete, paint and plaster. They can be washed with a wet soapy cloth or even a brush. The packaging of the most wear-resistant wallpapers has a special sign - three wavy lines and a brush. These are the canvases that you need to buy. But since they have low vapor permeability, good ventilation must be provided in the bathroom.
Vinyl wallpaper has a PVC outer layer. It protects the wallpaper from high temperatures and humidity. Experts recommend using embossed or foamed vinyl, it better hides unevenness on the wall surface. But vinyl wallpaper requires a special glue. Ordinary can show through the wallpaper. From this glue, the wallpaper stretches, and when it dries, it shrinks.
Liquid wallpaper allows you to create any original drawings, in accordance with the artist's imagination. They are based on a mixture of cellulose fibers, textile materials and adhesive components. After mixing with water, the mixture becomes plaster-like. It dries quickly, so you need to work with it quickly and accurately. But these wallpapers have very good breathability, thanks to which the bathroom mirrors will never fog up. Liquid battles have good thermal insulation and sound-absorbing properties.
Fiberglass wallpaper is very expensive, but you can not wash it at all and repaint it twenty times. And they are glued with special glue, which must be smeared on the wall.
Ceramic wallpaper is a hybrid of ceramic tile and wallpaper. They are elastic, like wallpaper, and durable, like ceramics.
