Bathroom Wall Coverings

Bathroom wall coverings should work well with the other design elements in a bathroom. They must be easy to maintain and resist moisture. The walls are a good place to add color and texture. Paint is an inexpensive option. If you want to add a touch of color, try adding an accent wall that will create a focal point in the room. Painted murals are also nice and create a one of a kind look. Other wall covering options are glass blocks, wallpaper, ceramic wall tiles, stone wall tiles and wall panels.

Glass block is a beautiful choice for shower stalls and interior walls. They offer privacy while still letting in light. Wallpaper can now be used in the bathroom thanks to glues designed specifically for the bathroom. Ceramic wall tiles are durable, inexpensive and come in a variety of designs and colors. Most stone wall tiles are durable and water resistant but are more expensive than some of the other options. Solid surface materials come in sheets for wall panels. These panels work well as splash guards behind bathtubs and showers.

When designing your bathroom wall coverings don’t forget the trim or molding. The trim adds the finishing touch. Whether you style is ornate or casual, there are many choices available. Check with your lumberyard or home center for trim that is easy to install.
