The short answer is probably, but it depends on the bathroom and the type of wallpaper you use.
There’s no such thing as a dedicated "bathroom wallpaper", but many wallpapers can be used in a bathroom if the conditions are right. The key things to consider are ventilation, placement, exposure to steam and water, and the wallpaper's durability rating. In a well-ventilated bathroom, wallpaper can last for years, but in areas with constant moisture or direct water contact, you might run into issues.
Wallpapers are rated based on durability and washability, which can help determine if they’re suitable for a bathroom. Ideally, you should use a wallpaper with an Extra Washable or higher rating, as these are more resistant to moisture and easier to clean.
✔ Spongeable – Can handle light cleaning with a damp sponge but is not suitable for high-moisture areas.
✔ Washable – Can be cleaned with mild soapy water but should still be placed in low-moisture zones.
✔ Extra Washable – More resistant to moisture and easier to clean, making it better suited for bathrooms.
✔ Scrubbable – The most durable option, designed to withstand scrubbing and cleaning. These are usually vinyl wallpapers, making them the best choice for bathrooms.
If the bathroom is well-ventilated and the wallpaper is not in a high-contact area, you might get away with using a lower-rated wallpaper. However, if the wallpaper is likely to be roughed up—such as behind a towel rail or in a space where kids are frequently touching the walls—choosing a higher durability rating will help it last longer.
✔ Ventilation is key – A well-ventilated bathroom (with an extractor fan or windows) is essential to prevent moisture buildup, which can cause peeling or mold growth behind the wallpaper.
✔ Placement matters – Wallpaper works best in low-splash areas, such as above tile wainscoting, outside of shower zones, or on feature walls. Avoid areas where it will be regularly exposed to water, such as behind towel rails, directly above sinks, or inside showers.
✔ Choose the right wallpaper type –
✔ Sealing wallpaper edges – In extreme cases, sealing wallpaper edges with a clear decorator’s varnish can provide extra protection, but this is usually not necessary.
If your bathroom lacks proper ventilation or tends to stay steamy for long periods, wallpaper may not be the best choice. High humidity and excess moisture can cause the adhesive to break down over time, leading to peeling, bubbling, or mold growth behind the wallpaper. In these cases, alternative wall finishes like tiles or moisture-resistant paint may be a better option.
The short answer is probably—but it depends on the bathroom and the type of wallpaper. You can use wallpaper in a bathroom if it is well-ventilated, placed away from direct water exposure, and has a high washability rating. Vinyl or extra-washable wallpapers are the best options, and choosing the right placement is key to longevity.
If your bathroom has good airflow and the wallpaper won’t be in a high-contact area, you might get away with using a lower-rated wallpaper. However, if the wallpaper is likely to be touched, bumped, or exposed to minor splashes, choosing a higher durability rating will help it last longer.
If the space is constantly steamy or wet, wallpaper may not be the best choice, and a moisture-resistant alternative may be a better long-term solution.
That said, when in doubt, most people go with what they love. The worst-case scenario? The wallpaper doesn’t hold up, and you remove it. But this is not something we hear happing often.
Yes, you can hang wallpaper yourself! Many modern wallpapers are designed for DIY installation, and with the right tools, preparation, and patience, you can achieve a great result.
However, your expectations and attention to detail matter. If you’re someone who notices every tiny imperfection, then a professional may be the better option. If you’re happy with a good but not necessarily flawless result, then DIY is a great choice!
✅ You're using paste-the-wall wallpaper – This type is the easiest to install and reposition.
✅ You're confident with basic DIY skills like measuring and cutting – You don’t need to be a professional, but accuracy is important.
✅ Your walls are smooth and prepared – Uneven surfaces can make wallpapering much harder.
✅ You have realistic expectations – A DIY job might not be 100% perfect, but it can still look fantastic.
With the right tools, preparation, and care, hanging wallpaper yourself can be cost-effective and rewarding!
🔹 The wallpaper has a complex pattern repeat – Some patterns require precise alignment, which can be tricky.
🔹 You're working with paste-the-paper wallpaper – This requires soaking time and is harder to work with.
🔹 You’re wallpapering a ceiling – Installing wallpaper overhead is difficult and physically demanding.
🔹 Your walls are textured, damaged, or uneven – A professional can prep the walls properly to ensure the best result.
🔹 You want a high-end finish – If imperfections are going to worry you, then a professional installer may be worth the investment - but let them know you're expectations up front.
👉 If you’re confident with DIY, go for it! Just take your time, follow the instructions carefully, and prepare your walls properly. We've had 80 years wallpaper for the first time and love the results!
👉 If the wallpaper is complex, expensive, or in a tricky area, a professional installer may be worth considering to avoid costly mistakes.

We are super happy with our wallpaper we ordered from you last week. It looks great. We'll happily order from you again 😊 There was a flaw in 1 roll though. It didn't run through the whole roll, just in 2 places so we were able to work around it as we had 6 super short drops above a window & ranchslider. We just wanted to let you know in case you need to let your supplier know.
I installed it in our bathroom , looks lovely and changed the entire room (see attached images).
This stairwell and back wall was white and it's now a statement wall. It's transformed it and I love it 😀
theres the finished walls result is outstanding
Really love it and found it easy to hang.
Hi , Just sending pic of wallpaper we featured in our bedroom. Was so easy to hang this paste the wall and looks fabulous. Look forward to using more of your wallpapers in the future. Love your range
Love it thank you! Never tried wallpapering before but it went well
Haven't managed to get it on the wall yet and will send photo's once it is up Kind regards Isobel
A great transformation in a few hours. We are delighted!!
This beautiful wallpaper has completely transformed my guest bedroom. Its so luxurious and I love it!
I love this wallpaper & pattern . I haven’t done wallpapering for over 20 yrs and this was very easy . I am a 70 yr old lady , and had no issues . I just LOVE the result ❤️
My task today … before & after ! So happy with result ❤️
Finally got round to hanging our wallpaper 📄 we are in love it’s so good 👌🏻 Easy to work with and stunning end result. Dad came and helped which was awesome to have his experience, the black lines to hide any shrinking or misalignment worked a treat 🤗 we sized the wall and pasted the paper and that also worked well Prompt delivery and great quality Thanks You Inside :)
My partner did not think such a dark wallpaper would be good for a bed room, I did have a different light but he hated it. So this is a quick Pic of our room. I even did an unfortunate miss calculation, that ended up with me buying another roll. The Inside were able to send me another from the same batch. Its way better than before. Thank you Angela.
I am still to hang the paper. Building work is scheduled in another 4 to 5 weeks. I can't wait to see it on the walls.

have not yet completed our reno so cannot say more than we love the wallpaper and I am sure it will look awesome.
This wallpaper was so easy to apply and transformed this space into my exotic bathroom
Hi team, I wanted to share with you the amazing results we have had in our hallway with the Amazon Reverie wallpaper that we ordered late last year from you. Our decorator has literally just finished so there’s no lighting/art back up but it’s so beautiful I couldn’t wait!
Photo of finished wallpaper. Rapt with final result. Cheers Inside!

Love the wallpaper! Transformed our bathroom. Great design, will be back.
Rapt with the final result. Great quality paper and easy to hang.
A beautiful statement wallpaper, the service and updates from this company have been fantastic 😀 We will definitely be purchasing more wallpaper from them as we progress with our renovations.
Thought I’d send you a before and after shot of my little project room. Loving the Masoala in navy! I matched the blue base with Resene Dark Knight paint on the remaining walls.
Finally my beautiful wallpaper is on the chimney breast and looking fabulous
At 73 this is the first time I have hung wallpaper by pasting the wall. Was so much easier to hang, and I love the result. Will definitely do it again and certainly through “The Inside “. Great people to work with. Thank you
Great wallpaper- easy to use. Fast efficient service getting it to me.
This pattern is so lush. Just what I was wanting for my bedroom glow-up. Green and gorgeous. It’s transformed the space. The pro who hung it is also a fan. He said it’s a dream to work with such high quality paper.
