Suitable species

For those who have been pasting similar material in other rooms of the apartment, it is easy to make a neat repair in the bathroom, the main thing is to pay attention to the joining of sheets and carefully iron them with a roller.
Liquid wallpaper or, as they are called - paper plaster, gained particular popularity in the repair of the living room, hall, corridor, but they can be successfully applied in the toilet. They are made of cellulose fibers, acrylic particles, mica and glue base. Liquid wallpaper is sold in the form of a dry mixture, diluted with water before use and applied to the wall with a float or roller in much the same way as decorative plaster.
The advantages of paper plaster are in a special volumetric texture, giving an original look, and in increased protection against moisture, steam, mold and fungus.

It is necessary to carefully read the instructions before use, carefully cut and dock the sheets.
Dimensions
All wallpapers in rolls often have standard length and width parameters, so there will be no difference for the toilet. In width, meter and half meter types are distinguished, to be more precise, 1.06 and 0.53 m. Many consider the first type more preferable, as it is less necessary to measure and cut, a smaller number of joints is formed and in general the work is simplified. But in the case of small rooms, which is just a toilet, it may be more convenient and economical to use half-meter rolls. They are usually cheaper than wide ones.
The standard roll length is 10.05 m with a small spread of 3-5%. Knowing her and the height to the ceiling, it is easy to calculate how many rolls will be needed on all the walls of the toilet.

How to choose and calculate?
When choosing wallpaper for the toilet, their main criteria are moisture resistance, durability, and inability to absorb odors.

Preference is better to give light tones, but not too branded. It is good to take a glossy surface wallpaper for repair - this way they will add more light in a small toilet to their brilliance.
Unlike the rest of the rooms in the apartment, for the bathroom you should not experiment with intricate patterns and textures, the best option is if they are close to monotonous. Also, the simplest forms - stripes, cells, rectangles are a good choice.When planning it is necessary to take into account the combination of colors and patterns with possible tiles, furniture, panels and doors.
Calculate the required number of wallpaper for sticking toilet is very simple. First you need to measure the perimeter of the walls. Since the standard roll length is 10.06 m, with a floor height not exceeding 2.5 m, 4 strips will come out of it. That is, it is 2 m with a half-meter width and 4 m with a meter. For a standard toilet in a city apartment, 1 roll with a width of 1.06 and 2 rolls with a width of 0.53 m are sufficient.
Some types of photo wallpaper and wallpaper with a complex pattern must be combined in patterns and lines.
Then more undercuts are required and, accordingly, the total number increases, but usually not more than 25%.
Design options
Even for such a small room as a toilet room in an apartment, you can think of many design options. Wallpapers in a proper combination with the floor covering, bathroom fixtures, lighting, ceiling coating can form a harmonious and stylish interior.
Very often, different types of wallpaper are used only for side walls, and the back wall, where water and sewer pipes and metering devices are usually placed, is sheathed with PVC, drywall, MDF or other materials panels.
You can make walls with different wallpapers, for example, from below to a height of 1 m with darker colors, and the remaining upper part is lighter, or you can revet the threshold of ceramic tile from below. This method, in addition to originality, also has a practical meaning: from the bottom the walls become more polluted, and the bright top will add light to this small windowless room.
