Wallpaper in Bathrooms and Kitchens

Style meets practicality in moisture-aware spaces

Wallpaper is not just for living rooms and bedrooms. With the right approach, it can bring beautiful detail and personality to bathrooms and kitchens as well.

Yes, wallpaper can be used in these spaces—but a few important factors need to be considered.

Wallism’s Premium and Premium Textured wallpapers are printed on high-quality non-woven paper that is both durable and wipeable. This makes them suitable for areas with occasional humidity, like a well-ventilated bathroom or a kitchen wall that stays mostly dry.

The key is placement.

Avoid using wallpaper in spots with direct exposure to water. That means no wallpaper inside shower enclosures or directly behind sinks and stovetops. These areas experience too much moisture and splashing for even the best paper to hold up long term.

Instead, focus on feature walls or accent areas where the wallpaper stays dry but still elevates the room.

For best results:

• Start with a clean, fully dry, and properly primed wall
• Use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive to help it hold up in humid conditions
• Choose a design that complements the room’s materials and light for a more integrated look

When installed under the right conditions, wallpaper can completely transform kitchens and bathrooms. These are often overlooked spaces where design can make a surprising impact.

So, can wallpaper be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

Wallpaper can absolutely be used in bathrooms and kitchens—as long as it avoids direct contact with water and is installed with care. Wallism’s Premium and Premium Textured wallpapers are durable enough for well-ventilated areas where style matters just as much as function.
