Are you thinking of using wallpaper in a bathroom?

Can I wallpaper my bathroom without it peeling?
The short answer is yes! Wallpaper has come a long way in the past 10 years. Why?
- Wallpapers are constructed of more sturdier materials.
- The wall materials (drywall) is made much better than it used to be.
- Wall primers that are used to seal the walls create a surface that is exceptional to hang wallpaper on. These primers will make sure that moisture does not penetrate the drywall and keeps the wallpaper adhered to the primer, not the walls.

What does all of that mean to you? It means that the wallpaper, when properly installed, will not peel from your bathroom walls!
Installing wallpaper in a bathroom is economical!
Powder rooms and bathrooms are usually much smaller than other rooms of your house. This means less wall space. Less wall space means less wallpaper is needed to cover the walls.
How do you select wallpaper for your your bathroom?
- If you are in the Chicagoland area- go to JC licht. They have great designers who can help you pick the right wallpaper.
- Be mindful of the width of the wallpaper. The wider the paper, the less rolls you need.
- Don’t pick a wallpaper with a large repeat pattern. The larger the repeat the more waste you will have.
- You may be able to buy wallpaper by the yard, which could be more affordable.
