Yes, but you must use the correct quality!

Here are 6 tips to assist you in choosing the correct mural for your bathroom:

• Will your chosen bathroom space be a ‘wet’ bathroom with steam and humidity? If so, you’ll need to choose a vinyl mural to ensure it stays pristine and damage-free.
• The size of your room and the type of ventilation in place are also factors to take into account – factors that influence the type of the mural you’ll be choosing.
• Don't be afraid of the large scale a mural will bring to your space. You could choose a bold design or something soft and gentle in colour. You could wrap the room or just do a feature wall.
• When reimagining your bathroom, vinyl murals will always be your best bet. Thanks to their non-absorbent nature, any condensation or moisture will simply run down the non-porous surface and be easily wiped off, rather than soaking in and ruining the integrity of the wallpaper. Blackened, mildew-stained wallpaper is not the look we’re going for here.
• Sinks and basins tend to be splash zones, no matter how tidy you try to be, so it’s a good idea to either leave these areas wallcovering-free, or install tiled splashbacks to be on the safe side.
• Finally, ALWAYS check the care instructions of the mural before making your purchase. A vinyl quality means your mural is washable, which is ideal for bathroom use. Also make sure to ask about the best type of glue to use for your bathroom mural installation, to avoid curling edges down the line.

We’re all about transformation here at Dreamweaver Studios, and nothing transforms a space quicker than a splash of wacky wallcovering. If you’re feeling super brave, you can go all out and transform a lounge or bedroom with something completely out of the ordinary – but if you’re like most of us and want to start somewhere a little smaller, a guest bathroom or powder room is the perfect place to unleash your quirkier side. Plus, a smaller room means less time and money spent on transforming it, so it’s a win all round.

Of course, one person’s wacky is another person’s completely normal, so that immediately begs the question, what does wacky mean to you? Is it bold florals, is it large scale, is it bright colours, is it strong patterns, or is it something wholly unexpected? If you’re not sure, no need to panic – we’ve got some ideas here to get you started and help spark some inspiration. So the next time a visitor comes over and uses your guest bathroom, the only word they’ll be saying, is “WOW!”

Florals and Forests

In a room that’s all about answering the call of nature, what’s more on point than wallpaper with elements of nature? Florals don’t have to be cutesy, super-feminine prints – instead they can be big, bold and dramatic, as can botanical choices like trees, leaves and jungles as well. Go feminine or go masculine – with so many designs to choose from, you’ll have your pick of the bunch.
