Wallpaper in the Bathroom – Is it a good idea?
Wallpaper is often not well-suited for bathrooms. Wallpaper’s core material, paper, is not friendly to humidity, water splashes and heat. Water is not compatible with organic materials such as wood and paper.
Bathroom walls are best covered with paint, such as satin, eggshell, semi-gloss acrylic latex interior paint, or hard, impermeable materials, like synthetics or glazed tile.
Wallpaper in the bathroom is possible by properly preparing the wall, treating it, and managing humidity and temperature.

Paper Wallpaper
The traditional paper wallpaper is applied with paste (adhesive). It offers the most variety of designs, as well as unique and beautiful designer papers. This paper is also most susceptible to water damage.
You can choose to have paper wallpaper dry-backed (requiring a separate adhesive) or preprinted (not self-adhesive, but an adhesive activated with water).
After installation, treat the wallpaper’s surface using flat or satin decorator’s varnish. This protects and seals the paper without altering its appearance. To prevent water from seeping through the back, seal all edges.
Vinyl Wallpaper
Renters and others who want to be able to change their wallpaper choices have long loved peel-and-stick wallpaper. Vinyl is available in a variety of colors and designs to match any style.
The low-tack, self-adhesive backing of Peel-and-Stick makes it much easier to remove the adhesive when needed. Its main benefit for bathrooms is its 100 percent vinyl content. Peel-and-stick wallpaper does not have any paper content that can degrade or mold and is perfect for environments with high moisture like full baths.
