Seeming wallpaper recommendation

last year

I have a tiny powder room and I always wanted to wallpaper it. Any suggestions? The counter is Costa Esmeralda granite and the cabinet is a dark brown.

    The choices are endless. What style would you like? Colors? Type of pattern? Give us something to go on and we might be able to make suggestions.

    I just want something that matches the color and style since I’m not changing anything else. The home is an old Victorian and my style tends towards traditional/transitional. I have no ideas that’s why I asked.

    Can you post another picture from further away so that we can at least see the flooring?

    It would also help to see all 4 walls in this room.

    The floor and that counter drive all choices . If you cannot at least help with some info as to your drem bsthroom all you will get is 100s of ideas and not one bit closer to a plan. Nothing in the pic says Victorian to me so pics of the whole space please .I tend to like over the top PRs so I would do something like this with a print with the same color gren as the counter I would also change the mirror

    Do yourself a favor and create an ideabook here on Houzz. Then search for "powder rooms" and when you see a room you like, add it to your ideabook. Or post them here in this discussion. Then we can see what appeals to you and make suggestions.

    I do like Patricia's example with the bold flowers.

    You also need to consider budget--good wallpaper can be quite expensive.

    Here are some of my favorite powder rooms with wallpaper:

    You have to find what rings YOUR bell.

    Houzz allows a few hours to edit your dilemma's title. Please fix the typo in "seeming".


    Edited to add: I thought the OP meant "seaming" but maybe it's "seeking".

    I do believe most can figure out she meant "seaming".....and the word is not needed in her post:) in any scenario.

    She simply wants help in coordinating with the granite, the wood of the vanity is nearly irrelevant, we have no idea what the flooring is, and the mirror is a bit of a yawn and unfinished looking.

    At some point all anyone can do for her is suggest options. Or she can google "gorgeous tiny powder rooms", and find an inspo picture.

    What we can't do....is read her mind.

    Since you are wallpapering…maybe consider a few other things and now would be a good time. Given the vanity’s location two mirrors will help balance the corner. The lighting location may not complement, but if interested sconces would be really nice and electrician can easily cover the outlet.

    Before making your wallpaper decision, would you consider painting the vanity the wall color for a lighter feel? Lighter wallpaper and a cream towel resting on sink or placed on wall are also suggested. Can you provide a picture of your flooring, as it‘s an important factor to consider as well.

    Thanks, everyone. The bathroom is really small so it’s hard to get a full picture but I’m attaching a few more photos. I know the options are endless. I guess I’m seeking (sorry, I couldn’t figure out how to fix the typo) some guidance on color scheme, whether it should be big or small print, etc. I have a hard time visualizing. I appreciate the suggestion of DecoratorBest, I will check it out!

    A few ideas, for the sconces you can find wireless models.

    Just curious as to the dimensions of the room--3'x5'?

  • last year

    Good luck! I've been searching for the perfect wallpaper for a powder room for 3 years! Many that I like, but none that have stood out as the perfect one.

    Lala ans I are are on the same page.


    Lots of greens

    Thank you all so much, these ideas and feedback have helped me a lot. I think I see now that since I don’t want to clash/compete with the busy-ness of the granite, the choice is probably between something darker and bolder with a wider pattern or something light/faint/subtle. Like the 2 photos I’m attaching (just as examples—I would still keep looking for more options). Curious to hear what you think works better?

    Tons of great ideas, especially Beverly’s. I like William Morris for a small room, but only if it works for your taste and home. Thibaut has some of the most elegant wallpapers out there.

    The shade of green in your counter is critical to the wallpaper choice. You can always paint the cabinet.

    It took me a long time and LOTS of samples to find the right one for my tiny powder room. It opens to the great room-dining room- entryway so it had to work with all of those rugs and furniture. I literally have a 2” folder of samples.

    Here is a photo of the finished product….

    @BeverlyFLADeziner nailed it with this paper. The scale is perfection, the round blossoms echo the round sink beautifully, and the curving stems pick up on the wavy mirror edge. Shop all you want but I don't think you will do better than this.

    All of these colors work with your stone top. But, please oh please consider painting your vanity the background color of the paper. Your home might be traditional but this big black triangle shouts modern. Lighten it up and it will diasppear and the paper and stone become the focal point. Keep it black and it will continue to be where your eye is drawn.


    Maybe someone on here more skilled than me can mock these up with painted vanities. :)

    That’s so funny, I had saved a very similar one that I liked, attached. I’m curious about the suggestion people have to paint the cabinet white. Is it just a bias against dark wood? It’s dark brown, not black. And the bowl is hammered pewter. I didn’t think it was a particularly modern look.

    I have no problem with dark wood but the vanity is an odd shape and the darkness of the wood just highlights that. It doesn't feel like a vanity to me so much as a corner kitchen cabinet missing base cabinets on either side. I'd try to make the bulky shape of it disappear by either painting it a light color that blends more with the wallpaper, or getting a very dark wallpaper that blends into the cabinet and makes it disappear.

    I think the paper you saved is the same, just a different scale. I bet the hammered pewter would look awesome with the little dots on the wallpaper. A pewter sink - wow, nice.

    What is this wallpaper? Maureen posted it.

    I like Rebel Walls…. very different.

    For me, simple. Paint the darn vanity and add airy.

    Some of those above actually depress me!



  • last year

    Thank you, this looks nice. I’m not a fan of white cabinetry and like my dark wood vanity. But the green looks great, I would consider that. What wallpaper is this?
