Help finding wallpaper that is similar to a large format tile

last modified: 8 months ago

Hello everyone. I was planning to decorate an accent wall in my powder room with a large format tile, but have changed my mind because the tile has a 4 month lead time. I fell in love with this tile, but I'm ok changing direction. Originally, I was going to tile only 1 wall of my powder room - the wall behind the vanity and under the window.

I'm new to wallpaper and I'd love to find a wallpaper that reflects the elements of this tile - could be different colors, but I love the soft watercolor design.

1. Any wallpaper companies or collections come to mind? Please share.

2. See the rough drawing of the walls I was planning to wallpaper - they are identified by the purple dashed lines - would you adjust? How many walls would you cover?

3. Any other guidance?

• the elevation of the original accent wall and the tile layout - JUST FOR REFERENCE.

• photo of the original tile. It's Emser Agio Ovole Enhance. https://www.emser.com/products/agio?variant=40253855760497

• rough drawing showing possible locations for wallpaper in powder room (excuse drawing - small item to the right is the toilet, item on the bottom is the vanity.

Thank you!

    @beverly, those mosaic tiles are similar in "look", but I have decided to move away from tile. What attracted me to the large format tile is that it is one large piece 24 x 47. Thank you!

    Gambit (wallpaper design name) by Backdrop (company) is a design based on tile but not as multi colored as your original. Really pretty though.

    Re think in order. Some things can not be mimicked. The texture will be lost. The room itself isn't well suited for an accent wall, and most powder rooms benefit from a wallpaper on all four walls......and skipping the other three, just leaves the feeling you had not enough money to do four. It can't be faked....as you are attempting, and the tile would not have been a good idea on that wall, regardless.

    There are endless possibilities for any powder room - a space unto itself in so many regards.Your view into this is right here.. that's the most important wall, opposite the entry but it needs no busy busy anything. Get a beautiful sink/ modern whatever. A fabulous mirror. It doesn't need a tile: )

    There is opportunity here to improve the room and I don’t think it’s (just) wallpaper. Would you consider a vanity that spans the whole wall width? There is a lot of awkwardness with the vanity wall as your elevation shows with the shorter width vanity (you can keep the sink to the right - no need to move plumbing)

    I think wallpaper will be much more welcoming in a powder room than a wall of tile - there’s not much water in these rooms so I always feel like you can have a bit more fun -

    FWIW i used your tile pic and did a Google image search + the term wallpaper - not much came up... If it were me, I’d try to see if there was another look beyond the tile I could love and i’d def do all the walls

    Did the large size just make it easier to do ? That size format for tile is not as easy as you think to install . Fake tile looks like fake tile so so there are so many awesome wallpapers but honestly no idea of your space , I need pics of the space seeing one wall where you plan wallpaper is useless . Post pics here in a comment then you will get help,
