Bathrooms: The Perfect Place for Wallpaper

If you're new to the world of wallpaper, you might be feeling a bit anxious about deciding where you want to put wallpaper in your home. Well, it's time to stop worrying because we have a killer suggestion: your bathroom!

Bathrooms are the perfect place to start experimenting with wallpaper. They tend to be smaller rooms in your home, and there aren't a lot of other furnishings and finishes that would compete with the color or design of your wallpaper. Powder rooms tend to be the smallest bathroom in the house, which means less wallpaper and less money spent in the long run. These bright, colorful butterflies make such a statement in this powder room by by designer Abbe Fenimore. If you're looking to create a unique space with some whimsy, choosing a fun wallpaper like this is the way to go.
