A bold and bright graphic print will instantly transform any space. So if you want to turn a functional space – such as the bathroom – into a beautiful one, wallpaper is your best tool. It may seem strange using wallpaper in the bathroom; paper and moisture are not a good mix, after all. Fortunately, you can now buy moisture-proof vinyl wallpapers that are specifically designed for kitchens and bathrooms, and there is a vast range available. It’s finally time to deck the bathroom walls in your favourite print.

To inspire you to take that leap, here are five beautiful powder rooms that prove statement wallpaper is always a good idea:
