And that totally makes sense – you can keep the rest of the house classy and let your freak flag fly when decorating powder room.

How to choose a wallpaper for powder room?

You should start with deciding on the material. We recommend sticking (literally) with peel and stick wallpaper as it allows to skip the mess and do it by yourself in a matter of few hours. The same goes for choosing a pattern. Bigger and larger-scaled prints will fill the room and add a busy feel to it. It will be easier on the eye and create a bolder impact. Smaller patterns, on the other hand, will help you to add a spacious effect and help the eye wander (we all know how the sense of time sometimes fades away in powder room). Small pattern will also help with the application process. Dainty prints are more forgiving and tend to disguise the flaws of installation.
