Is it safe to wallpaper a bathroom???? Will it only get ruined with moisture?

I want to do a cloud design in my blue bathroom the kids use, when I picked colors I didn't know that the toilet and sink were going to come in a robin's egg blue, the tub and surround are like a cornflower blue, and the vanity top is like a blue/gray marble. This is our first house,modular, no one told me these things, I thought I was just picking a vanity top color. How do I bring all these different hues together without painting the walls white? I need a cheap way, house is only 2 yrs old %26amp; hubby refuses to rip apart the bath. Anyone had a similar problem? HELP!

My bathroom wallpaper lasted forever - till I got sick of it and ripped it down. What would be easier though is to paint your bathroom a very pale blue that doesn't fight any of the other blues. Buy a sea sponge at the craft store and practice making clouds! I did it when my daughter was small and it was beautiful. You can add touches of pink or yellow very lightly to the bottom of your clouds too. Make sure you squeeze most of the white paint out of the sponge, you want a light touch. Hope it all works out. It is hard to wallpaper around a toilet, remember that.

Reply:You'll need to sand the walls to remove the textured surface first. Then be sure and seal the drywall with a wallpaper sealant. If you don't the wallpaper sticks to the drywall paper and will make an extremely difficult 2nd go around when re-papering later. Do not use just the prepasted paper. Be sure and add a paste that is diluted 50/50 with water. Follow wallpaper directions and you should be in good shape. Around the tub you might want to apply a small bead of Dap to keep it from potentially pealing back. Good luck.
Reply:We have wallpapered the bathrooms years ago and they get steamy and the paper is tight as always. Go for it. All your plans sound great. I can imagine, the picture is beautiful.~~~Jill

Reply:Like the idea of bringing in wallpaper to bring the colors together. Bathrooms are the perfect place for wallpaper. Easy to clean and it will hold up well.
Reply:Although paper comes pre-pasted do yourself a favor and still paste it. Most important make sure you size your walls 1st. Good Luck
Reply:You can wallpaper a bathroom - but I wouldn't do it again if someone offered to pay for it for me! After a while, steam from lovely hot showers will loosen the paper (sooner if you weren't meticulous about hanging it, later no matter how careful you were!) Try a base of a creamy beige, the sponge the varying shades in your bathroom over that - I did a similar treatment in my lower level bath, using a sandy base, and sponging it with pale blue, green and pink. Got a very nice ocean-beachy feel, with no chance of peeling or mold!
