Design Tip:


To enhance the natural look, we recommend adding a few potted, low-maintenance plants like ferns, snake plants or orchids. White tiles, black or dark green fixtures with golden accents in accessories can allow the colors in nature-inspired murals to shine.

2. Artistic Expression

Artistic landscape murals add depth and drama to any space. These large-scale pieces are ideal for small bathrooms. We especially love pairing them with clean, modern fixtures to create an aesthetic look.

Our Watercolor Blue & Grey Cloud Wallpaper brings a dreamy ambiance to your bathroom. The soft, muted tones intertwine to create a gentle cloudscape, adding a sense of calm. To enhance this serene atmosphere, consider pairing the wallpaper with: 

  • Brushed nickel fixtures to add a touch of finesse
  • A freestanding bathtub to create a spa-like focal point

For those drawn to artisanal designs, our Shaded Landscape Mural also offers a journey through time. This sketch-like design transports you to the European countryside, evoking images of Jane Austen's England. To bring this timeless elegance into your modern bathroom, contrast the mural with sleek, matte black fixtures for a contemporary edge.

This mural brings a touch of artistry to your bathroom without overwhelming the senses.

The Rainier Mural from our Quest Collection offers a softer, more serene landscape. Designed by Swedish artist Mira Kurkiala, this hand-painted mountain range in blues, grays, and soft pink creates a tranquil backdrop for your daily routine.

5. Geometric Shapes

Embrace the beauty of clean lines and shapes with our geometric wallpapers, perfect for creating a modern, distinctive bathroom.

For a chic-geometric look that's easy to style, our Lines Mural Wallpaper is an excellent choice. Its playful lines create an illusion of textured layers, providing the perfect balance of subtlety and interest. This versatile design complements various decor styles, making it an ideal backdrop for your master bathroom. 

For a bolder statement, consider the Geometric Shapes Mural. This striking black and white design features eye-catching triangles, proving that monochrome can be far from boring. Its contemporary appeal adds a dynamic element to your space, easily pairing with almost any decor style.

Both options allow you to incorporate sleek, modern designs while maintaining an inviting atmosphere in your bathroom.

Design Tip: 

For a truly eye-catching interior, juxtapose the linear patterns of the geometric designs with curved elements like a statement round mirror, rounded sink or faucet for a balanced, design-forward space that plays with contrasting shapes. 

6. Delicate Florals

While geometric patterns make a statement, there's something eternally charming about delicate floral designs in master bathrooms. These subtle yet captivating patterns add a touch of romance and sophistication, creating a serene atmosphere that's perfect for your personal sanctuary.

The After the Rain Floral Wallpaper exemplifies this timeless aesthetic. It features a cornflower blue and white floral design that seamlessly blends classic elegance with contemporary style. 

This wallpaper is ideal for those seeking to infuse their space with understated refinement.

Design Tip: 

Balance the softness with modern, clean-lined fixtures for an interesting contrast. Choose accessories that subtly echo the floral theme without overwhelming the space, such as small botanical touches in artwork or decor items.

7. Vertical Stripes

Vertical stripes are a designer's secret weapon for bathrooms, especially those on the smaller side. These linear patterns draw the eye upward, creating an illusion of height and spaciousness - perfect for rooms with low ceilings or limited square footage.

Our Soft Stripes Wallpaper showcases this design principle beautifully. The minimal green and white vertical stripe design complements various decor styles, making it a versatile choice for your master bathroom.

This pattern is particularly effective in smaller bathrooms or those with low ceilings, instantly making the space feel taller and more open. It's a simple yet sophisticated way to enhance your bathroom's perceived dimensions without compromising on style.

Design Tip:

Enhance the vertical effect by pairing the wallpaper with tall, slim fixtures and accessories. A floor-to-ceiling mirror or vertical light sconces can amplify the illusion of height, making your bathroom feel even more spacious and airy.

8. Light, Muted Colors and Delicate Patterns

Do you love walking through the European countryside in summer? 

Then, the Just Peachy Mural is for you. The cool tones of blue, forest green, and burnt orange create the perfect scene, while the delicately painted peaches add a delightful contrasting element. With its light colors and delicate patterns, the mural can make the space feel larger and more open.

For a timeless twist on floral designs, consider the Black and White Floral Wallpaper. This romantic pattern features an array of flowers, including beautiful roses, creating a striking statement piece that complements any color scheme.

Design Tip: 

When using black and white bathroom wallpaper, balance the bold pattern with solid-colored accessories. Try pairing it with a white vanity and black fixtures for a modern, sophisticated look.

9. Minimalist Designs

Minimalism has emerged as a powerful trend, offering a refreshing counterpoint to more ornate styles. This approach focuses on clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a "less is more" philosophy that can transform your master bathroom into a haven of tranquility.

Our Hibiscus Mural embodies this modern minimalist aesthetic perfectly. This expansive print features delicate designs in soft blue and white, turning your wall into a captivating focal point without overwhelming the senses. The large-scale pattern creates an illusion of expanded space, ideal for those who prefer a clean, uncluttered look in their bathroom.

For a bolder take on minimalism, consider the Crescent Polka Dots Murals. While maintaining simplicity in design, the funky shades add a pop of color to your walls, sure to brighten both your mood and your space. It's an excellent choice for those who want to embrace minimalism without sacrificing personality and energy in their bathroom decor.

Design Tip: 

Enhance these minimalist designs by incorporating natural materials in your accessories. A wooden bath mat or stone soap dispenser can add texture while reinforcing the connection to nature.

10. Bold Accents

For those who dare to be different, bold accent walls in master bathrooms are the ultimate choice! These dramatic designs can transform an ordinary space into an extraordinary one.

Make a statement with our Midnight Mural Wallpaper, designed by talented artist Victoria Park. This moody and abstract design serves as a sophisticated focal point, with its interplay of light and dark elements creating a captivating visual experience. 

By featuring this statement wallpaper, you're not just decorating; you're curating a space that turns everyday moments into aesthetic indulgences.

Design Tip: 

To maximize the Midnight Mural's visual appeal, pair it with crisp white fixtures for striking contrast. Incorporate dark accents in your accessories or hardware to echo and enhance the wallpaper's depth, creating a cohesive and dramatic look.

11. Chinoiserie-Inspired Design

Chinoiserie, an artistic style inspired by East Asian aesthetics, has made a stunning comeback in interior design, particularly in bathrooms. This trend brings a touch of exotic elegance and whimsy to spaces, offering a unique blend of traditional charm and contemporary flair.

Bring a sense of nostalgia and pure joy to your master bathroom with our Verbena Lemon Tree Wallpaper. This chinoiserie-inspired design features lemons and cockatoos dancing along your wall, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere. It's a perfect example of how traditional designs are being reimagined for contemporary spaces.

For a softer take on chinoiserie, our Magnolia Mural offers a dreamy alternative featuring oversized pastel pink magnolias, lush greens and wandering birds.
