Bathroom Trends – To Wallpaper or Not? That is the Question!

Wallpaper can highlight a focal point or simply support the design style of the entire room.

You can use a fun pattern to add interest to any bathroom – especially a child’s bath!

Another idea is to wallpaper above the chair-rail height and paint the remainder of the walls. It’s best to pick the wallpaper first and take a sample or picture when choosing paint. You could even pick one of the shades in the pattern and have the paint custom-colored.

My name is Julia Ritzenthaler, Founder and President of Unique Vanities, started in 2005. I started this business as an extension of our residential remodeling business, which focused on the design and build of custom cabinetry and architectural trim. I also worked as a financial advisor for 10 years at Ameriprise Financial, helping clients make sound money decisions, including budgeting for home improvement expenses. This expertise led me to start Unique Vanities, which offers a handpicked selection of high quality bathroom vanities, sinks, mirrors and more. You can find me most days sitting in Starbucks, my second office, or in my car driving my daughter across Dallas to gymnastics training.
