If you want to decorate the walls of your bathroom, it's a good idea to think about some things beforehand.
Can I hang wall art anywhere?
No, because most materials should be protected from splashes of water. Places near the bathtub, shower, and sink are therefore unsuitable. Furthermore, it's important to prevent the higher humidity levels in the room from damaging items like canvases or posters. For this to work, the bathroom must be very well ventilated, and a spot by the window is advantageous.
Do I have to take care of the decorations in my daily life?
Regular removal of dust and moisture is recommended to prevent mold growth or other damage to the artwork. A dehumidifier can also be helpful. In summary, creating an artistic ambiance in the bathroom requires accepting certain limitations and some effort. Furthermore, despite all precautions and considerations, complete protection against damage is impossible. An alternative would be to use something inexpensive that could eventually break.
Is there perhaps a solution to circumvent these difficulties?
Yes, the right choice of material. Wall art made of aluminum composite or brushed aluminum composite. This material is water and weather resistant, so it could even be used in the garden or on the balcony.
Tips for fastening and design
Strong, waterproof adhesive strips (e.g., tesa® Powerstrips Waterproof Strips) can be used to attach pictures (up to 2 kg) to tiles or smooth surfaces without a hanging device on the back. Waterproof Powerstrips® adhesive hooks are suitable if a hanging device is already present on the back.
A tile drill bit and wall plugs suitable for damp environments ensure a secure installation. Rustproof stainless steel screws prevent corrosion from moisture. Motifs such as water, nature, or nautical designs are a perfect fit for bathrooms. Wall or ceiling lights can be used to effectively showcase the artwork.
One last tip:
We found some very beautiful art made of brushed aluminum composite at Wandbildkunstwerke .
