Bathroom wallpaper

Bathroom wallpaper lifts your bathroom beyond the standard tile wall — with atmosphere, colour and character you won't find in tiles. Our collection features waterproof wallpaper designed for humid rooms, including specialised systems that work even inside the shower itself. From dreamy botanical prints to crisp marble looks: find the wallpaper that lets your bathroom speak.

Picture this: you step into your bathroom in the morning and instead of a cold tile wall, you're greeted by a soft botanical print or a dramatic marble look. That's what bathroom wallpaper does to a room. Thanks to modern waterproof technology, wallpaper in the bathroom — and even in the shower — is no longer a gamble, but a deliberate design choice.

Bathroom wallpaper: atmosphere where tiles fall short

Tiles are practical, but honestly, they're also everywhere. Bathroom wallpaper gives you the freedom to make a real statement. No grout lines to clean every year, no endless squares to choose from — just a wall that feels like a work of art. From Italian ateliers like Wall & Deco and Glamora to the experimental Inkiostro Bianco: every brand in our collection has its own signature.

What makes wallpaper possible in the bathroom? Specialised coatings and resin finishes that protect the sheet from steam, splashes and direct water. For the shower and other wet zones, we use professional waterproof systems like Wet System by Wall & Deco — a resin finish that makes the wallpaper truly waterproof.

Which wallpaper works in which bathroom zone?

  • Waterproof systems with resin layer — the only wallpaper suitable for the shower and direct wet zones around the bath.
  • Vinyl wallpaper with a sealed top layer — suitable for drier zones like the wall behind the sink. Not for wet areas. Browse our vinyl wallpaper collection.
  • Standard wallpaper — only for the guest toilet or a bathroom without a shower.

Italian design that transforms the bathroom

Our selection is intentionally small: only brands that deliver both technically and aesthetically. Glamora is known for cinematically layered murals, Inkiostro Bianco combines artistic designs with moisture-resistant finishes, and Instabilelab experiments with materials you won't find elsewhere. Looking for something calmer? A botanical pattern from our botanical wallpaper collection gives your bathroom a spa feel that tiles simply can't match.

How to choose bathroom wallpaper that lasts

Start with the zone: does direct water hit the wall, or just steam and splashes? That determines the system — and don't be tempted to put vinyl wallpaper in the shower, because it won't hold up. Always order a sample to assess the texture and colour in real bathroom light; bathrooms often have cooler light, which makes colours read differently. And think about the adhesion: a professional paperhanger experienced with waterproof systems makes the difference between five years of enjoyment and five months of regret.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Bathroom wallpaper

Can you really use wallpaper in the bathroom?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to water-repellent coatings and waterproof resin systems, bathroom wallpaper is now a full alternative to tiles — even in humid rooms. We work with brands like Wall & Deco, Glamora, Inkiostro Bianco, Tecnografica, LondonArt and Instabilelab, each with their own technical solution for the bathroom. Do ensure good ventilation and professional application for the best result.
Can I use wallpaper inside the shower itself?
Yes, but only with a professional waterproof system like Wet System by Wall & Deco, H2O by Tecnografica or Glass Finish by LondonArt. These systems add a protective resin layer that makes the wallpaper fully waterproof. Vinyl and non-woven wallpaper are not suitable for wet areas — reserve those for drier zones like behind the sink or in the toilet.
Why bathroom wallpaper instead of tiles?
Wallpaper brings your bathroom warmth, character and endless design freedom — from subtle textures to cinematic murals. No grout lines means less build-up and mould risk, and installation is faster and easier to replace than tiles. Ideal if you want something new again in a few years — without a sledgehammer.
Can I order a sample of bathroom wallpaper?
Of course. At Selected Wallpapers you can order samples of virtually every suitable wallpaper. Assess the colour and texture in real bathroom light — which is often cooler than your living room, making tones read differently. Samples are available for a small fee.
Do I need a professional to install bathroom wallpaper?
For drier zones, an experienced DIYer can handle it. For the shower and direct wet zones, we recommend a paperhanger experienced with waterproof systems — preparation, seam finishing and resin coating are precise work that determines longevity. Our customer service can refer you to specialised installers.
