Geometric Bathroom Wallpaper
Add pizzazz to your bathroom with a wallpaper accent wall like this one from @pinestreethouse. Your bathroom will come to life with pattern and color without the commitment of papering the entire space.
To make the job even easier, this particular wallpaper (Sketchbook Geometric Wallpaper from US Wall Decor) is a pre-pasted paper called SureStrip. It only requires a spritz of water to activate the glue. It smooths effortlessly onto the wall and removes in full strips when it’s time to redecorate!
Elegant Blue Bathroom Wallpaper
With the endless amount of wallpaper options, how do you decide on the right pattern for your bathroom?
To achieve the same elegant style as this space from @houseofhaires, start with a single color inspiration and use it in the wallpaper and bathroom vanity — in this case, light blue. The blue colorway gives the traditional treetop pattern (Raphael Light Blue by Sandberg Wallpaper) a fresh twist.
Striped Bathroom Wallpaper
The vertical stripe pattern in this bathroom by @ddiyinteriors looks gorgeous and draws the eye up. This makes the small bathroom seem bigger and brings attention to the lovely cathedral ceiling.
We’re also swooning over the dark green color and the matching green tile floor. The wallpaper is called Forest Stripe from Work + Sea.

Playful Bathroom Wallpaper
When choosing bathroom wallpaper, don’t play it safe! A small space like a bathroom is the perfect opportunity to go bold and colorful, like this playful orange and pink bathroom by @nikkricc.
The Grapefruit wallpaper from Wallshoppe delivers a touch of modern whimsy without overpowering the room. It coordinates beautifully with the matching wall tile.
Vintage Boho Bathroom Wallpaper
To find the perfect wallpaper for her kids’s bathroom, Rachel Hoback of @sprucingup.mamahood searched for hours!
“Since this bathroom is technically for my two boys, I wanted something that was fun and playful, and gender-neutral,” she writes. “I immediately loved this Scandinavian wallpaper when I saw it! It is fun and playful, the colors were perfect, and it plays off of the 1970s vibe from the original bathroom.”
Indigo Bathroom Wallpaper
This bathroom makeover by @westrosedesign features Chasing Paper peel and stick wallpaper in Indigo Batik. The pattern of thin white lines and dots against the rich blue background creates the illusion of indigo-dyed cloth.
Peel and stick is a great option for beginners because it’s easy to install (no paste needed!). And whenever you’re ready for a change, it’s easy to remove without damaging the wall.
Dark Floral Bathroom Wallpaper
Floral wallpaper is not new, but the current trend of intricate florals with dark backgrounds provides a sultry decadence, as showcased here in this bathroom by @whitehousedesigns.ca. Wallpaper is Evergreen Juniper Forest by Rifle Paper Co.
Before choosing a dark and busy pattern, make sure your bathroom gets plenty of natural light like this one to keep the space from feeling cramped.

Bold Pink Bathroom Wallpaper
This oversized tropical floral print with a bright pink background makes a big impact in this gorgeous bathroom by @takethecannoli_.
When taking a risk with bold, colorful wallpaper, consider covering the bottom half of the wall with wood or tile wainscoting. The white subway tile shown here helps ground the space and muffle the bright wallpaper a little.
Sophisticated Bathroom Wallpaper
Although we love bright, bold wallpaper, sometimes soft and subtle can be just as successful. This bathroom by @laurenlarowedesign is chic and sophisticated thanks to the pastel colors and soft pattern of the Riviere wallpaper.
We also love the art deco shell design. It’s the perfect balance of modern pattern and classic sophistication.
