Types of wallpapers according to the surface
- Traditional wallpaper. It is a thin paper layer without any protection. It is less common as it is the most delicate one. Moisture is not its friend, so you will have to clean it with just a piece of paper or a duster.
- Fiber and vinyl wallpaper. A mix between textile and vinyl. It is soft and has good wear and moisture resistance.
- Vinyl wallpaper. It is the strongest one. It is durable and washable, so it will resist moisture and use. That is the reason why it currently is the most commonly used type. This is the perfect one to use in your bathroom!

Does peel and stick wallpaper work in bathrooms?
Of course! The important part comes when you choose the wallpaper, as it needs to be vinyl wallpaper. Prepared wallpapers are a little more expensive, but they will save you a lot of effort!
What kind of wallpaper should I use in a small bathroom?
If you are looking to decorate a small bathroom, we will give you a few tips to make it look bigger and awesome.
- Light colors are your friends. If the main color is not dark, the light will reflect on the walls, and it will make it look bigger than it is. Choose wisely!
- Highlight a part of the bathroom. Choose one or two walls (it will depend on the bathroom layout) and pick a special wallpaper that will provide all the personality and uniqueness you need. Be careful not to overload the walls or the effect will be the opposite.
- Mirror, mirror on the wall. Bigger mirrors will make the effect we are exactly looking for. Combined with a beautiful background, you can not lose!
- Transparent shower doors. They will expand the sight of the bathroom, and they will be so eye-catching!

Now you are ready to put it in your bathroom walls and enjoy the lovely and chic space you have created!
