We select the wallpaper in the toilet

But it is worth understanding that in the bathroom increased humidity and frequent temperature changes, therefore, not all wallpapers will fit into this room, but only those that have a certain set of characteristics:

• It is not recommended to decorate the toilet room with a simple single-layer paper, because it will get wet soon.

• The toilet must be finished with wallpaper, which will be moisture-resistant, otherwise they will simply peel off the walls from dampness.

• Before you begin to glue the wallpaper during the repair, you need to prepare the toilet room: hide all the pipes, carry out a communication before.But the plumbing must be installed after the wallpaper has been glued, otherwise it will significantly interfere with the process.

It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of this room in order to choose the right wallpaper material, which will be not only practical, but also beautiful.

There are many varieties of wallpaper that are suitable for the toilet room. It is necessary to build on the individual preferences and characteristics of the bathroom.

Many people choose washable wallpaper, in other words, sheets of paper on which a particular pattern is applied. The surfaces of the material are protected by a waterproof film, due to which moisture will not cause their peeling from the walls. This model has a small cost, and it will not be difficult to stick it on the walls, which is a significant advantage. With a protective film wallpaper will not be scary dust, dirt, mold and fungus.

Instead of wet cleaning, clean this wallpaper with a vacuum cleaner.

Some prefer vinyl wallpaper. They will be expensive to repair, but this material is moisture-resistant, so it will not be afraid of the deformation due to dampness and temperature changes. It is easy to glue them, you only have to take into account the special choice of glue, which is suitable for heavy material.

Another interesting option is glass fiber, which is made of fiberglass (paper and thin glass yarn). The canvas itself is light gray, but then it is painted over with the help of paint in different shades. These wallpapers are quite expensive, but they are worth it, given their characteristics. They are durable, so they will not be erased due to some damage. for a long time (for this reason they are plastered with not only bathrooms in apartments, but also public toilets).

Cloths in glass coatings almost will not absorb wet evaporation, they are not afraid of chemical and even aggressive substances (powders, solvents, and so on), so you can safely use a variety of detergents to clean them.

You can choose a liquid wallpaper, which is also suitable for the bathroom. They differ from rolled canvases. Externally, they are more similar with plaster, because they are made of powdered material with various fillers: cotton and cellulose fibers, dried seaweed, mineral dyes, wood bark and others.

Fillers are diluted in water until a building finishing mixture is formed (it takes at least six hours), then the consistency is applied to the wall with a spatula (it is also used when applying plaster). After the mixture hardens, it is necessary to fix it with varnish, which also has water-repellent properties, and will protect the material itself.

This model is the best fit for the bathroom, because it has high elasticity, soundproofing (no noise from the pipes will not disturb at night), and moisture resistance (which is important for the toilet).

If the version of the classic wallpaper seems uninteresting or outdated and you want something more original, then you can give preference to photo wallpapers. Their use in the toilet is not uncommon. They are easy to install and have an interesting design. According to the plot, usually the choice falls on flowers or natural images. If the bathroom is small, then it is better to get a wallpaper with a pattern that would visually expand the room (for example, the image of a large flower or animal).

Often, a perspective image (for example, a map of the world) is selected for the purpose of “increasing” space. But it is important to choose the right scaleotherwise it may turn out that the names of countries will be so small that it will be difficult to consider them.Often photowall-paper is selected by a single image on three walls to create an interesting optical effect of increasing the space of the room (suitable for bathrooms, small in size).

Another option is self-adhesive wallpaper, that is, a PVC film on which this or that pattern or pattern flaunts. This model is already with glue on the back side, which is protected with a special layer (it is removed before pasting). These wallpapers are sold in rolls and are well suited for the toilet room. This model can be cork, that is differ high heat and sound insulation.

Also, self-adhesive wallpapers are sold both with a matte and with a glossy surface, can imitate wood, leather or decorative plaster (here everything depends on individual preferences and design of the apartment).

The latter method of finishing the bathroom has many advantages.The self-adhesive film has high strength, so it is not afraid of mechanical damage. The upper layer of the film has a water-repellent function, so it is easy to care for such wallpaper, you can wash them with ordinary household tools.

Toilet room does not have to look boring.With the help of properly selected wallpaper you can create an original atmosphere. and embody the most daring design ideas:

The main thing is not to overdo it, sometimes it is better to ask a professional designer for advice.

• If there is a desire to paste over the bathroom with tiles, but the idea with the wallpaper like no less, then we can safely combine both of these options.

In this case, the canvas can be chosen according to the color of the tile or be contrast with it, it all depends on personal preferences. The shops even sell wallpaper, imitating tiles, so you can kill two birds with one stone.

• As for color solutions, here it is necessary to build on both the size of the room and the overall interior design. It is worth remembering that the color will help both to narrow the space and expand it, therefore,if the bathroom is small, you should not make it even smaller, pasting with a dark shade (black, brown), but if the area is large (especially the combined bath and toilet), then these colors will look harmonious.

Typically, preference is given to the classic light and warm colors with natural patterns. Some tend to adhere to minimalism, choosing monochromatic neutral shades, without unnecessary patterns. You can combine light and dark colors, but the main thing is that they look harmonious. Sometimes in one or another bathroom you can find a contrast between plumbing and wallpaper, for example, toilets and sinks have a light shade, and the walls are covered with dark canvases. It may look advantageous in some interiors.

The most popular colors for wallpaper in the toilet room are white, gray, yellow, blue and beige. But there are also bright shades - for example, red, black or bluewhich can look very impressive.
