Bathrooms, just like the living room and the rest of the house, also need a touch of good taste. The problem is that bathrooms can be a bit trickier to touch up because of their frequent exposure to water and moisture. 

That means that the materials you have to pick also need to withstand those conditions - particularly the walls. The good news is that there are a few materials that are made to handle these conditions. Here are some of the best ones you can use for your bathroom wall.

Tiles

Tiles are great for homes because they can be used in a variety of ways. Because of their waterproof characteristic, they also make for great bathroom wall ornaments. Aside from that, tiles are also one of the more affordable choices. 

Another characteristic of tiles that make them great for bathroom walls is that they come in a variety of sizes and designs. There's bound to be a design to match whatever theme you like. It is also easy to clean and maintain.

Vinyl Wallpaper

Vinyl coated wallpapers are also a good option if you want something that's a bit more aesthetically pleasing. These come in all sorts of designs. Though it will eventually degrade and require replacement, it's still a great choice if you want something that's both beautiful and functional.

Another reason to try vinyl wallpaper is that you can try it out without actually sticking it on the wall. Just get a sample and stick it up your wall to see if you'll like the outcome. If you like how it looks, you can opt to buy a few full rolls. If not, you can always get another to sample.

Paint and Drywall

Paint is also an excellent choice for finishing bathroom walls. However, there are a few things that need to be kept in mind. First off, the paint you should choose should be able to protect the walls. 

We suggest semi-gloss or gloss paints. Due to their water-resistant properties, the water will form into droplets and can be easily wiped away. Another feature to look for in bathroom wall paint is that it should combat mildew and mold, which is common in moist environments.

Stone

This is a more luxurious and expensive option. But if you're looking to add depth and attitude to your bathroom and can afford it anyway, you can go for this option. Although they are made from one particular type of material, stone wall decors can come in various shapes and sizes.

Acrylic Sheets

If you don't want to be bothered with complex installation methods or professional fees, you can opt for acrylic sheets instead. This is very easy to put up and doesn't need any specialized knowledge.

Acrylic sheets can be purchased in single sheets. Though they are easy to handle, they also have their share of disadvantages. For example, the colors are limited for acrylic sheets. Most of the time, they're only available in off-white or white.
