Wallpaper In Bathrooms

One of the most common questions homeowners have is “Can I put wallpaper in a bathroom?” and the answer is (usually) yes! We say “usually” because there are some circumstances where wallpaper in a bathroom isn’t a good idea, such as grasscloth in a poorly ventilated space (grasscloth wallpaper is made with materials that easily absorbs moisture). However, the issue of ventilation isn’t a problem in the majority of modern homes built today, so before you start any project, be sure to understand your space and what you’re working with. That can help you narrow down your bathroom wallpaper options.
