Hi Houzzers,
I quite fancy wallpapering my downstairs loo, see attached photos. Just can’t decide what I want, hence seeking inspiration. Anyone have any fabulous suggestions for me?
Thanks

Will this wallpaper be too much?
Comments (80)Here in Oregon, we refer to a den as more of a manly, comfy room. Part office, part tv room. The family room is like a living room but with a tv. A living room is generally more formal and used for casual conversation. For a house that doesn't have a family and living room both, the words are interchangeable though, which can get confusing for people used to more formal living. We are fairly informal around here. I would assume drywall is like plasterboard. When houses are built, the framing goes in, filled with insulation on exterior walls, then all of the studs get covered with big sheets of drywall that then gets all the seems "taped" and smoothed and then texture is sprayed over it all, then paint. Drywall isn't used in all rooms, there is a special kind called green board used in bathrooms, which is mold resistant. Cement board is also used on any walls or floors where tile is being applied, like bathrooms or kitchens, which is also mold resistant. I am loving this subject! It's so fun to see what people all over the world call different things....See MoreHelp with tiny downstairs cloakroom
Comments (10)Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I'm liking the idea of a mirror behind the toilet, I'm seeing a bit of a mirrored wall effect coming here. I'm also considering rehanging the door (thanks for the suggestion) so it opens into the utility. That would make a big difference. I like the idea of a cabinet under the sink (great way to hide pipes) but I've been worried it would make the space too cramped. Plus with the door opening into the room the sink and cabinet would take a lot of the space a person would use stepping in and shutting the door. Good news is it's actually a wooden doorframe there rather than the horrible metal frames we have in the rest of the house. I'm currently thinking of half tiling with either paint or paper (great idea thanks) on the top of the walls. Just not sure of colours. Flooring I'm thinking of something dark with warm undertones as that's what I'm going within the kitchen (North facing room plus cream cabinets I thought warm tones would be nicer). After that I have no idea. I've not yet found any cabinets so the world is my oyster. Lol way too much choice here....See MoreTiles to match cloakroom wallpaper
Comments (1)How wide is the cloakroom? Is there any way of carrying the paper round to the back wall where I assume the loo is? Do you have a pic of the vanity top? I'd just pick up one of the colours in the paper for the tiles, personally I think I'd go for the yellow, or go with white if you want the tiles to blend in...See MoreFull room wallpaper... Possibly?
Comments (14)As always some fab points. I have considered price but the cost of paper was far less than having every wall skimmed but to be honest paper was more feasible for the time frame as there is no chain we can complete quickly. The 3 living rooms come off the hall and the bottom one is straight ahead of the front door which will be the dining room so I was thinking wallnut floor in hall and dining room but I'd like to have carpet in the other 2 reception rooms which will be library and sitting room as I have wood floors now in my sitting room and as much as I love the way it looks I feel like I'm forever cleaning it. It seams silly to place pet the hall though especially with children's muddy feet. There is no cornices in any of the upstairs rooms so I think brick effect paper will work well in the master. I'm stil not sure wetha to do all walls or just feature wall. We have wallnut furniture which I love so I think it will be a fab room. My daughters room I'm most excited bout it's just trying to decide how much of which colour more Grey or more pink or equal both I'm leaning more towards more grey because it will be easy to change the pink as she ages. My step son is difficult as he had probably had a different room every year in our house as he's aged he's gone from toy story to batman to Barcelona fc. So now I'm saying no to themed rooms. I was thinking maybe a mural on the wall behind the bed maybe black and white New York sky line or something and keep everything else very simple black and white??? The floor boards aren't in great condition and I know I probably stand alone when I say this but I don't actually like the look of original floor boards unless they are perfect. I agree with the decor flowing through the house and aside from the kids rooms it will all be pretty neutral. The dining room leads out into a beautiful garden so I was toying with trying to bring the outside in with some nature tones I'm just not sure how to go about it? Any suggestions for a dining table colour as it will sit on wallnut floor or am I just being picky and it doesn't really matter, just in my head an oak table on wallnut floor doesn't look great. Wish I'd taken pictures so I could show before and after I'll have to remember to when we move...See MoreVictoria

5 years agoI agree it’s a lovely loo! Botanical prints are popular at the moment, you know all ferns and flowers. Or a nice rich dark green paint would look nice.
Monica
5 years agoYes, picking up on the lovely green from the tiles you could go botanical or a lovely chinoiserie, a nice landscape even. So I guess stating a preference then we could all go searching LOL

5 years agoHi Victoria,
This is our downstairs loo, I loved the wallpaper but felt it was a bit busy for larger living areas, I had to have it somewhere so the downstairs loo it was, it’s created a a real surprise for visitors after the more sedentary areas around the house.
Just go for whatever you love, it’s only a small space so even if you change your mind after a while at least you haven’t wasted a lot of money. Good luck.x

5 years agoHi Victoria. I also think it looks great as is! If you did want to go for wallpaper I personally would also go for grasscloth, just shown with similar vanity and mirror. Or maybe a more rustic looking fern like the middle Little Greene picture. The beach huts are cute but I'm wondering if they will get a bit lost in that colourway with your art and mirrors? The birds are part of the same Sanderson collection if you wanted something more fun

5 years agoWe have used a wallpaper by Osborne & Little called Barbary. It is blue in our cloakroom, but the green in our hallway would suit you well. It's quite subtle, but very whimsical and looks hand-drawn...
