How can I make my bathroom look expensive on a budget?
Love the charm of patterned wallpaper, but not the price—or the worry of using it in a humid bathroom?
A painted wall stencil is a beautiful DIY alternative. With bathroom-appropriate paint, you can create a bold, wallpaper-like pattern directly on the wall and give a plain bathroom so much more personality.
All you need is one reusable stencil, two paint colours and a small roller. Repeat the pattern across the wall and watch an ordinary bathroom become the kind of space that makes both you and your guests say, “Wow!”
No expensive wallpaper. No complete bathroom renovation. Just paint, pattern and a transformation you created yourself.
Find this stencil through our webshop, Etsy and Amazon links in our bio.
Would you try a stenciled statement wall in your bathroom?
For humid bathrooms, use suitable bathroom paint on properly prepared walls. Avoid areas exposed to direct shower spray
