I love the smaller floral , especially the smaller scale for a smaller room. Bigger patterns get chopped up sometimes.
I’d wallpaper the entire room except for the wall with the window, and I’d paint that the same yellow-gold in the wallpaper flowers. Gives you a break from totally closing in the room, doesn’t require beadboard (although I love the idea, and that’s my laundry room ) and you can pick any brighter/lighter color from the paper,I just love the pop of less matchy matchy.
Have fun!
We used self adhesive paper in the small bathroom with chair rail. Our house has a lot of openings to the outdoors and we already had a woodsy shower curtain and a birds of the world puzzle on the wall, so went with a woods-themed paper that was pretty forgiving where the paper joins are.
edited to add that we installed the bead board at the same time as the wallpaper.
We have wallpaper in our small powder room and though I love the pattern it has gotten water spray anywhere that’s near water, above the sink, around the towels, above the toilet. I would only put wallpaper above the chair rail. Ymmv, it may be the type of wallpaper I chose?
Love the William Morris prints!
If the walls are properly prepped, wallpaper should come down easily in the future. Peel and stick is supposed to be easily removed, but a friend put it in a bathroom in a rental apartment and when she took it down, it pulled the plaster off the wall. I think the ease of removal depends on the condition of the wall.
Nice!
Use a hair dryer to heat a little before pulling it off.
Thanks!
We actually had the perfect shower curtain way before we thought of the wallpaper. Once I saw that wallpaper, it was obvious it belonged.
I think I might be the only person on the thread currently that prefers the second print. I think the larger format and bigger spaces of lighter color could work exceptionally well in a small space.
Especially with dark hardwood floors. A nice contrast between the paper and the flooring.
My husband is on board with paneling below the chair rail! I’m going to play more with the photo tonight and will post again.
You guys are the best!
Thank you to @thumper for suggesting Gemini AI. It was much easier for me to use than Chat GPT.
I can’t seem to get the over the sink area correct but the chair rail continues around the whole room so the area around and over the sink would be the green board and batten. There are also walls on either side of the doorway that I was standing in to take the fisheye view of the bathroom that will have the dark green trim bottom, and the wall paper above.
DH is totally on board!
Again, many many thanks!
Beautiful!!!
That really looks good! And I really am not a green fan!!
Try lowering the chair rail height to line up approximately with the window apron. That way it creates a common visual line. What is on the opposite wall? Just a door?
Love it!!! But I would wallpaper the slope and the rest of the non-panelled areas as well. That wallpaper is gorgeous (but I love the other one, too).
Coming in late. I’d add a new chair rail just above the toilet or aligning with the window sill. I’d leave the slanted wall a light color. I like the dark green wainscoting that I like both the wall paper patterns and have cushions with the first William Morris design. I think powder rooms are the perfect place to do something that is a little over the top. In our old house I used stuff that was leftover from jobs that an interior designer I was working with had. We had a toile wallpaper that I would never want to live with in large quantities and pinkish marble on the floor. If that sink had been on the market yet it would have been perfect for our space, but we ended up with something almost as small.
Our wallpaper was something like this:
or raise the window trim to the level of the stuff on the wall….
Lowering the chair rail isn’t an option -we’d have to re-plaster the wall and that’s out of the budget. But yes, in an ideal world, the chair rail would be lower!
Yes the opposite wall is just a door.
The chair rail runs around the entire room at the same height. AI removed it from the photo for some reason!
