Best way to decorate a bathroom - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Alright, Martel and I are blessed with a HUGE bathroom with a HUGE mirror, but there's still some white walls in there. I can't paint, and since there's high humidity there's a limitation to how I can decorate it. Anyone got any good ideas about what we can do to spruce up the bathoorm, maybe some good ways to put up artwork without it falling victim to the high humidity? your help is appreciated!

Why can't you paint? Quality paints with mildewicides are available for bathrooms. Failing that, put up some nice vinyl wallpaper.

I live in an apartment complex where we can't paint... although, perhaps if I offer to paint the bathroom white with a mildewicide paint they might let me. Ditto on the putting up wallpaper. What I am looking for are some suggestions for artwork/decoration I can put up in there that will withstand being in the bathroom!

Can you put up any form of shelving? Maybe drape semi sheer curtains or fabric across the walls to give it some color - layer, be creative. Then hang art over it? It might help absorb some of the humidity.

You could also do a base of MR paint with mildewicide and then decorate with stenciling. When you move out, paint over it.

You should paint only the ceiling. Gives the room a unique feeling.
