Wallpaper is a very practical alternative to paint and even to tiles. Installation is easy and fast and if done well can last for 10 to 15 years. Of course, special precautions are needed since the bathroom is a high-moisture space. However, it’s nothing that some special primer and glue and some waterproof sealant can’t solve. It’s definitely worth the effort seeing how beautiful and charming this design done by Shauna Glenn is.
