When it comes to decorating our homes, using wallpaper can often make a fantastic statement and transform a space. Yet often, a room that not many people consider wallpapering is that of the cloakroom.
The cloakroom, also referred to as the downstairs toilet or downstairs bathroom, may be small but for many homeowners these days, it performs an essential part of the home. A practical and often heavily traffic area in busy households, our cloakrooms needn’t be neglected when it comes to style.
Here, The Bathroom Showroom discovers the latest cloakroom wallpaper trends that will wow your guests. From botanical bliss to geometric glamour, we help you find the perfect design for your small bathroom to make a lasting impression.
The Attraction of Bathroom Wallpaper Décor in The Cloakroom
Small bathrooms like cloakrooms can often feel cramped and uninspiring. Merely fulfilling a function, very often little thought is given to the downstairs toilet. This is especially so when it’s only used by those members of the home. But for many, the cloakroom is often ignored when decorating, meaning a room no one really wants to spend any time in, including visitors.
Yet, because this space is made up of just a toilet and basin, with no bath or shower, it's more practical when wallpapering as there’s very little moisture in this room. So, with the right wallpaper, you can instantly elevate the space and create a unique and visually appealing environment. This means that not only do visitors get to experience a nicer all-round space, but so too does everyone else using this room!
Whether you prefer bold and vibrant patterns, want to add mural wallpaper, or just want to keep to subtle and understated designs, there is a bathroom wallpaper style out there for every taste and preference.

Cloakroom Wallpaper Trends:
Botanical Bliss: Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside with botanical-inspired wallpaper. From lush tropical leaves to delicate floral designs, this trend adds a touch of nature to your cloakroom and creates a calming and serene atmosphere. Look to muted colours and intricate details for a sophisticated and timeless look.
The Bathroom Showroom recommends tiles from the Savoy range to help add a creative tonal colour to a botanical cloakroom style. This collection boasts spectacular choices including Leaf Gloss, Dew Gloss, Oat Gloss, and Steel Gloss. These tiles highly complement contemporary décor. Finish with one or two lush green houseplants to retain that blend of warmth.

Geometric Glamour: Embrace clean lines and geometric patterns for a modern and chic cloakroom. Geometric wallpaper adds visual interest and can create the illusion of a larger space. Mix and match different shapes and colours to make a bold statement or keep it simple with monochrome designs for a minimalist vibe.
The Bathroom Showroom recommends adding a few feature tiles from the One range. Offering a unique look, this collection offers no less than nine different patterns, all from the one tile. And, spruce up your cloakroom again here with an eye-catching rose gold tap choice, like that from the Roca Ona collection.

Vintage Vibes: Add a touch of nostalgia to your cloakroom with vintage-inspired wallpaper. Whether you're a fan of retro prints from the 60s or wish to recreate the elegance of the Victorian era, there are plenty of options to choose from. Elegant wallpaper promoting a vintage era adds a sense of charm and character to your space, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
The Bathroom Showroom recommends the Heritage Caversham bathroom furniture for a vintage-styled cloakroom. With its uniqueness and timeless sophistication, the freestanding cloakroom unit here perfectly complements vintage décor.

Textures and Patterns: Experiment with texture and patterns to add depth and visual intrigue to your cloakroom. From faux brick and stone to intricately woven designs, textured wallpaper can create a unique and eye-catching backdrop. Combine different textures and patterns for a truly dynamic and captivating look.
