Placement
- Paper every wall in a tiny laundry closet for a jewel-box effect.
- Wallpaper just the back wall behind the machines.
- Paper the ceiling and keep walls plain.
- Use wallpaper above a dado with beadboard below.
- Line the back of open shelves with offcuts.
Make it practical
- Choose washable vinyl near the sink.
- Add a clear splashback over wallpaper behind the sink.
- Run an extractor fan to control humidity.
- Seal seams carefully so steam cannot lift edges.
- Coordinate cabinets with one colour from the paper.
Tip: Turn off power at the breaker before papering around sockets and switches, keep the room ventilated to prevent mould behind paper, and make sure the dryer vent and appliance connections stay accessible.
