The bathroom is a place where we relax and refresh ourselves so its decor should reflect this. While your bath design should work with the overall style of your home, it is also a self-contained space where you can veer off the beaten track. Inject some personality and try out a new trend on your bathroom walls. Here are several ways to get creative with your bathroom design’s surroundings.

Wallpaper

Vinyl wallpaper used to be huge in kitchen and bathroom design and then it went out of fashion. It’s back with a bang these days, in a huge selection of styles. You can go large with any pattern and use stripes to visually adjust the proportions of your space. All it needs is a smooth surface to adhere to and it can be unstuck and reapplied easily. Italian company Wall and Deco are developing a 100% waterproof paper in highly decorative designs that will hopefully hit US shores soon.

Paint

Paint is always a budget friendly option to decorate a room in any color. Although bathroom paint is more expensive than regular paint, it is mold and mildew resistant and available in all finishes. Use your bathroom paint color as a feature color and coordinate it with other accessories like in this Dearborn, MI bathroom design.

Wood

Wood brings warmth and texture to any room. Once it’s properly protected against moisture, wood is a great addition to a bath design. Beadboards are an attractive choice for some bath styles. Beadboard panels are easy to install, are an extra moisture barrier and can be painted to suit your color scheme.

Stone

Natural stone walls are the ultimate luxurious option for a bath design. From polished marble to rustic stone, it can be used as an accent wall or a uniquely textured shower wall. Engineered stone, such as quartz is more durable and comes in all colors. It’s also easy to clean as there are so few seams to attract dirt.

Tiles

Once installed by an expert, tiles are fully waterproof. Maintain your grout and you’ll have beautiful tiling for many years. You can fully or partially tile a wall and modern tiles come in all sorts of shapes and colors for you to arrange whatever way you like. From ceramic to glass, subway to asymmetrical, there is a tile out there to suit your style and budget. Tile also has the benefit of allowing you to create a unique design with accent walls, custom tile niches, or borders made out of contrasting tiles. Using color, shape, pattern, and texture, tile is an ideal option in a bathroom remodel for drawing attention to your bathroom walls like this Harrison Township bathroom design.

Glass

If privacy isn’t your priority, consider glass for a contemporary feel. Encase your tub, shower or entire room in cubes or panes of clear or frosted glass. This opens up your room and lets in more light than any other wall material.

PVC Panels

PVC is the cheapest option for bathroom walls. It is durable, seamless, and mold-resistant and you can use it to add color to your walls and even ceilings, being so lightweight.

Acrylic

Acrylic walls go around your tub or shower and are durable, seamless, waterproof, stain resistant and easy to clean. The only downside is that the whole piece usually must be replaced if one part is damaged. They also rarely come in a color other than white.

Laminate

Laminate is a great way to get creative in your bath design. Quite long lasting, it comes in a lightweight single sheet or as tiles in a high-gloss or low-sheen finish. There are many colors, patterns, and shapes available to suit your remodel.
