No Wall Tile in Bathroom? Maybe wood paneling instead?
Comments (10)We also didn't do tile b/c of the cost. I do love the look. There are many other options: Just plain painted walls, beadboard, tongue and grove, chair rail and use 2 different color paint, wood paneling, wallpaper... Here's what we did: Here are a few inspiration pics I saved from houzz [traditional bathroom design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by san francisco architect Doma Architects, Inc.

Comments (5)The large printers used for vehicle wraps and signage can produce any image you wish on your choice of finish gloss or semi or matte with a tough overcoat on a polymer water proof base. Several formats are already used for walls, but it sounds very damp. I know the car wraps handle rain is why I mention the idea....See MoreCan I paint a tile floor in my bathroom ?
Comments (7)@Christopher -- what's the reasoning behind that ? Can it be done at all ? If it can be done, how difficult is it, and what kind/how much prep needs to be done ? Can it turn out successfully ? Or is it not worth the effort ? I probably should have mentioned that it's not a shiny finish ceramic tile. I honestly don't know what it's made of, but there's no shine to it at all, and it has a textured surface, to look like it was cut from actual stone....See MoreWhat color should I paint my bathroom ?

Comments (5)I like the suggestion from Kate to paint the walls a soft white. If you have enough wall space, I’d add artwork that includes the colors of your floor tiles....See Morerwiegand
