Bathroom Wallpaper: 5 Fabulous Ideas

Although kids' design is usually the last consideration in any home decoration, the bathroom is undoubtedly one of the most engaging and rewarding areas to design. Small bathrooms are perfect hands-on places for bold patterns and textures and colors without being overly worried about not getting them right because they may seem cramped. Wallpapers can impinge on the bathroom style in all sorts of ways-they create a lot of characters and lend moods. From elegant florals, wood patterns, and block prints to over-the-top nautical themes, wallpaper could alter the entire atmosphere of your bathroom.

Brewster Wallcovering has a comprehensive collection of bathroom wallpaper for all styles. Here are five out-of-the-ordinary wallpaper ideas that are sure to turn your bathroom space into a beautiful retreat for your next project. 

1. Create an Elegant Sanctuary

Nothing can beat the comfort of bathing in a bathroom that feels like a high-end spa. Want to design a peaceful and upscale ambiance? Try soft hues and delicate details on warm, inviting wallpaper.

For instance, in this luxurious bathroom, the wallpaper Christel Floral steals every adoring gaze from the soft blue tones that set this very calming backdrop while the metallic accents in the wallpaper add a touch of sophistication in the design. Paired with sheer white drapery and vintage-inspired decor, stepping into this space feels like walking into a dreamy escape.

Why It Works:

• Soft colors promote relaxation. 

• Metallic details add a refined touch. 

• Floral patterns bring timeless elegance.

For a similar look, opt for wallpapers with subtle textures or watercolor-inspired designs that evoke a sense of tranquility. 

2. Mix Comfort & Sophistication with Faux Wood Paneling

Wood-paneled walls which have made a major comeback in the field of interior design bring warmth and rustic charm. But wood is expensive, difficult to install, and impractical in many cases such as humid areas like bathrooms.

What is then the solution? Faux wood panel wallpaper! This type of design replicates and mimics the beauty of real wood without the concerns of installation and with most of all, gives you a real rustic feel. Look at how this distressed finish in this bathroom now makes a very chic lived-in polished feeling.

Why It Works:

• Achieves a high-end look for less. 

• Easy to install and maintain. 

• Adds warmth and texture to the space.

Whether you prefer reclaimed barn wood or sleek modern paneling, wood-effect wallpaper is a fantastic way to bring natural elements into your bathroom. 

3. Have Fun with a Playful Theme

Bathrooms for children can be a great place for some bold colour and imaginative design. Fun wallpaper can make every day routines all the more fun while tying the decor together. 

These Monterey Bay bathroom wallpaper borders will adorn your children's bathroom walls with adorable ocean creatures in bright colours, transforming their bath immediately into an undersea adventure. Allow your child to be swept away to an offshore experience in a nautical rope towel holder that also holds towels conveniently close but also allows it to be decorative and thematic.

Why It Works:

• Bright colors stimulate imagination. 

• Themed elements make the space more engaging. 

• Borders allow for flexibility in design.

For a cohesive look, pair the wallpaper with coordinating accessories like shower curtains, rugs, and storage bins in complementary shades. 

4. Make a Statement with Bold Florals

High-contrast wallpaper can create an impact for someone very fond of dynamic design. Black and white prints are quite eye-catching, like in this bathroom modeled on an Asian influence; they can be eye-catching, yet not suffocating in the area. 

The bold flowers create depth and repetition, while the red sink adds a bright spot. That simplicity keeps it modern and sleek.

Why It Works:

• High contrast adds visual interest. 

• Large-scale florals create dimension. 

• Minimal decor is needed to complete the look.

For a similar effect, choose wallpapers with oversized botanical prints or geometric patterns in black, white, or metallic tones. 

5. Invite the Harmony of Nature

Bringing nature indoors has been a theme for relaxation for centuries. Coastal-inspired wallpapers, such as the two scrolling leaf designs here, along with that beachy border, lift the feelings of the sea.

This design makes the room feel airy and calm with soft tones and organic motifs. Phrases like "inhale the salty air" enhance that mood, transforming your bathroom into a real retreat.

Why It Works:

• Nature-inspired designs reduce stress. 

• Subtle colors keep the space feeling light. 

• Textured elements add depth.

To enhance the theme, incorporate natural materials like woven baskets, driftwood decor, or sea glass accents.
