Is wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, provided it’s designed for the job. Our bathroom-suitable wallpapers use durable, wipeable materials that hold up well against steam and humidity, making them a practical choice for bathrooms as well as a decorative one.

Will the wallpaper be damaged by steam or moisture?

For bathrooms, for full peace of mind, we recommend choosing a wallpaper printed on a waterproof substrate such as vinyl, which is designed to withstand steam and humidity. If your room has good ventilation then choosing vinyl isn't necessary. As with any wallpaper, good ventilation will help it last even longer.

What wallpaper designs work best in a bathroom?

Ocean and water-inspired designs tend to suit bathrooms particularly well — our Koi Carp “Make a Wish” and Kurage jellyfish ranges were chosen for this collection for their calm, aquatic feel, though many of our other designs also work beautifully in a bathroom setting.

Q: Can I order a sample before choosing a bathroom wallpaper?

Yes, we recommend ordering a swatch first, so you can see exactly how the colour and texture will look in your own bathroom’s light before committing to a full roll.

Bathroom wallpaper needs to do two things well: survive the steam, and still look beautiful every time you walk in. Our bathroom collection is built around exactly that, hand-painted koi carp, jellyfish and ocean-inspired designs that bring a calm, spa-like quality to the room you use every day.

Each design in this collection is available in multiple colourways, from deep petrol blues to soft moss greens, so you can match your existing tiles and fittings or use the wallpaper as the starting point for the whole room. Our Koi Carp Make a Wish range and Kurage jellyfish designs are particular favourites for bathrooms, chosen for their soothing, water-inspired motifs.

As with all Carmine Lake wallpapers, we recommend ordering a swatch first, so you can see exactly how the colour and texture will look in your own bathroom before committing to a full roll. Most designs are printed to order and typically ship within 21 days.
