Focus On The Wall
Home & Decor Singapore|September 2017

Though not always the largest space in the house, the bathroom does offer the most potential in terms of achieving a stunning or radically different look. Start by adding interesting textures onto the walls with a fancy wallcovering. Here are five popular styles to consider, and why you don’t have to worry about peeling wallpapers.

Focus On The Wall

If eccentric prints are not your thing, or you’ve procured statement-making faucets or washbasins and prefer a simple backdrop, opt for textured wallcoverings. Not only do they give bathrooms a depth that most 2-D prints cannot, texture will make even a dark hue pop. Check out different types of coverings like vinyl wallpapers, which do well in humid spaces, as well as the diverse range of Muratto cork wallcoverings from Beltiston.

Because the bathroom is where you unwind with a good long soak or a luxurious rainshower, it’s only natural that aquatic prints have become the complementary wallpaper choice of bath sanctuaries. Create an ocean-inspired atmosphere with illustrations of crashing waves, playful fishes and sea turtles, and a garden of corals. There’s no need to stick to ocean blue hues, too.
