I was planning to install wallpaper in my bathroom to give it a different look. But I too had this question in mind: Can you wallpaper a bathroom ceiling? After researching, I realised that yes, one can wallpaper a bathroom ceiling, but it needs proper preparation, the right type of wallpaper, and good ventilation to avoid moisture damage or peeling.

Where is the Best Place to Put Wallpaper in a Bathroom?

  1. It is advised to check the ventilation first. If the bathroom has good airflow through a window or exhaust fan, it will help prevent dampness and mould.

  2. Then to choose the right area, avoid putting wallpaper where it gets direct water, like inside the shower or just above the bathtub; instead, use it on a feature wall, behind the basin with a splashback, or above half tiles. 

  3. Lastly, think about the bathroom type. Guest bathrooms are perfect for wallpaper since they stay less humid, but for the main bathroom, it’s best to use moisture-resistant wallpaper and apply it carefully.

Hope this helps you too.

Hey friend. I can relate myself to you as I once had the same question, can you wallpaper a bathroom ceiling. I noticed my bathroom ceiling looks dirty and also I was bored of the white coloured ceiling. So, I decided to put some wallpaper on it but was confused if it was even allowed to be installed on a bathroom ceiling. I hence researched it and found that yes it is definitely possible to wallpaper a bathroom ceiling by hiring professionals.

How to Wallpaper a Bathroom Ceiling?

I then hired a painter from NoBroker and noticed the steps he followed. There are some things to consider first and I'll walk you through them below from my observation:

  • I initially loved the idea of a patterned ceiling to give the bathroom a unique look. However, the painter has said that regular wallpaper might not hold up well in that environment. 

  • He made me realise that bathrooms tend to have a lot of steam and moisture, which can cause wallpaper to peel or get damaged over time. So, he offered to get either all-vinyl wallpaper or a treated paper to handle moisture.

In the end, he gave me a more practical solution and I got the ceiling skimmed and painted with high-quality bathroom paint he brought. It only took half a day for the plasterer, and it turned out to be more cost-effective and durable than wallpapering. Plus, I don’t have to worry about any peeling or bubbling with all the steam from the shower.

So, yes, you can wallpaper a bathroom ceiling, but it’s not always the best option if you’re looking for long-term durability. Hope my answer helps you to pick the right kind and seal it well.
