Basically, it is customary to decorate the bathroom with tiles, in extreme cases, with plastic panels. On this the imagination of our people, as a rule, ends. The thing is that the above materials are the most suitable for operation in a humid environment. So it is, but almost all of them let out of the fact that modern technologies allow changing the properties and characteristics of almost any building material. This circumstance is the basis for alternative ways of finishing the bathroom.
This is exactly what will be discussed in our article, in which we will consider the options for finishing the bathroom with non-traditional materials.
Finishing the bathroom with wood
Have you ever met a bathroom finished with a wooden lining or simply with a rake? To this question, 90 percent of the people will say no. Meanwhile, this material is quite often used in European countries for finishing bathrooms. The advantages of using such material in the bathroom are large - firstly, it is exclusively a natural material and, secondly, it is an individual style. That only there is a smell in such a room.
It should be understood that the tree is not suitable for operation in conditions of high humidity and poor ventilation - it quickly rot, it starts all kinds of living creatures and quickly develops moldy bacteria. It is from these properties and it is necessary to rid the wood first. For these purposes, all kinds of antiseptic impregnations and varnishes based on polyurethane are used. To process in this way, every single element of the skin is necessary even before the installation is started.
Well, what a modern bathroom looks like with wood trim, you can see for yourself on the photo.

There is an interesting and well-known way of protecting wallpaper from moisture. First, their front side is opened with a thin layer of PVA glue, which prevents the color change under the influence of solvents contained in virtually any varnish. After the glue dries, the lacquer itself is applied - it is necessary to cover the wallpaper with two or, preferably, three layers of varnish, letting each of them dry completely.
In the case of wall decoration with wallpaper, this protection may not be enough - in parallel, care should be taken to ensure good ventilation of the room.

It is sold in rolls of a meter width and can have a different color and pattern - so it's almost impossible to find an acceptable variant for you.
