Beautify Your Bland Bathroom With Wallpaper
Take your bathroom from great to gorgeous with a statement wallpaper that steals the show
Whether it’s a powder room, ensuite or main bathroom that’s a little lacking in personality at your house, wallpaper is an easy fix. It can be quirky or bold, elegant or old-school – think first about the era or character you’d like your bathroom to reflect and then match the design to the size and shape of your bathroom. Some bathrooms can accommodate a wallpaper that wraps around all the walls; others work better with a wallpaper feature wall. See what inspires you in these enviable examples from bathrooms across the nation.
Fornasetti has also given this Sydney bathroom a classic touch. The wallpaper has his signature playful twist, of course.

The wallpaper takes to this bathroom like a fish to water. The koi fish bring in a fun Asian style and the shapes in the swirling water are echoed in the curves of the basin and pendant light – just what this bathroom needed to soften the hard lines of the angular mirror and large-format tiles. It’s all in the detail.

You might not have to renovate that bathroom after all if you can transform it with wallpaper! Take away the wallpaper and chandelier in this Sydney powder room and it doesn’t have a lot going for it. Those additions bring in just the right dose of colour, pattern and texture.

As dramatic as it is elegant, this timeless wallpaper design by Florence Broadhurst works beautifully in black and gold, especially when paired with similarly toned tapware, vanity and mirror.

This neutral-toned wallpaper is beautiful in its own right, but its leaves come to life in this powder room with the help of the light cast by the Hermon & Hermon pendant. Consider how the lighting in your bathroom could work to get the most out of your wallpaper.
The soft lighting adds a moody atmosphere to this powder room, while bringing out the warm golds of the wallpaper. This glamorous wallpaper is inspired by the metallic wallpapers of the ’70s. When combined with a contemporary design, it simply oozes luxury.

Small spaces don’t always demand small-scale wallpaper designs, especially when you’re limiting the feature colours to black and white. A dash of metallic (on the door knob) and marble is all this bathroom needs to make that bold wallpaper sing.
