Quel type de papier peint choisir pour une pièce humide ?

What type of wallpaper should you choose for a wet room?

Decorating a damp room like a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room requires special attention. Humidity, water splashes, and frequent cleaning make some materials unsuitable. That's why the choice of wallpaper must combine aesthetics, strength, and durability.

At SunshineWall , we recommend two types of wallpaper that are perfectly suited to these environments: non-woven wallpaper and vinyl wallpaper . Find out which one is best for your room.

The specificities of wet rooms

Parts exposed to humidity present technical challenges that should not be overlooked:

- Water vapor and frequent condensation

- Regular water projections

- Risks of disappearance

- Needs easy and regular maintenance

Not all wallpapers can withstand these conditions, so it's essential to choose materials that resist moisture without compromising style.

Non-woven wallpaper: design and moderate resistance

What is non-woven wallpaper?

Made from textile and cellulose fibers , non-woven wallpaper is breathable, stable and easy to install. It is ideal for areas with indirect humidity , such as walls away from water splashes.

Its advantages for humid rooms:

  • Moderate humidity resistance

  • Simplified installation : glue directly to the wall

  • Easy maintenance : Clean with a damp cloth

  • Wide variety of designs : from minimalist to panoramic

At SunshineWall , our collection of non-woven wallpapers combines elegance, creativity and functionality.

Vinyl wallpaper: the waterproof solution

What is vinyl wallpaper?

Covered with a thin layer of PVC , vinyl wallpaper is designed to withstand extreme conditions. It is particularly suitable for areas directly exposed to water , such as around a sink or bathtub.

Its advantages for very humid rooms:

- Total waterproofness

- Mold resistance

Indirect wet area (distant walls, laundry room, ventilated kitchen) Non-woven wallpaper
