Bathroom wall art: the barest wall in the house

The bathroom is usually the last room to get any attention. Tiles, a mirror, maybe a plant — and otherwise a blank wall. Which is a shame, because you start and end every day in it.

It is also the easiest room to take on. Precisely because there is so little in it, one thing on the wall changes it immediately.

Can wall art even go in a bathroom?

That is the question that stops most people, and fairly: paper and damp do not get along. A poster in a bathroom buckles.

The cards of an IXXI are moisture resistant. That is why this works somewhere people shower daily. Within reason, though: not inside the shower and not directly above an unventilated bath — no wall art belongs in the splash zone.

Where do you hang it?

The wall facing the mirror, or beside the bath. Two reasons: that is what you look at while getting ready or lying in the bath, and it is the wall furthest from the water.

Small bathroom? Then one larger piece works better than three small ones. A bathroom is already busy with tiles and grout lines; what you want against that is calm, not more noise.

Which image suits a bathroom?

Three directions that hold up in practice:

  • Green and botanical — it picks up on the plants that are often already there, and softens a room made of tiles: Botanical Greens
  • Calm and graphic — if the bathroom already has plenty of pattern, quiet imagery is the counterweight: Minimalist Art
  • Your own photos — a photo collage from a holiday works surprisingly well in a room where you stand still for a moment

Why adaptable wall art

You click light, tear-proof cards together with X-connectors and hang them without drilling — in a tiled bathroom that is not a detail but the difference between hanging something and not. Size and design are yours to set, and when the room changes you swap the image rather than the wall.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The material is moisture resistant. Do keep it out of the direct splash zone of the shower or the bath.

More about bathroom wall art

Bathroom wall art on moisture-resistant material

Wall art in a bathroom lives or dies by the material. The cards of an IXXI are moisture resistant and tear-proof, so a room where people shower daily is fine. Keep it out of the direct splash zone of the shower or the bath.

Hanging it without drilling into tile

Drilling into a tiled wall is exactly why so many bathrooms stay bare. An IXXI hangs on wall clips and power strips, so you do not have to. That often makes the bathroom the easiest room in the house to take on.

Which image works in a bathroom

Green and botanical picks up on the plants that are often already there; calm and graphic is the counterweight to a lot of tile pattern. In a small bathroom one larger piece works better than a few small ones.
