Views
Stickers are matte and glossy. The first option is ideal for decorating painted walls. In such cases, the images appear to be painted on the surface. Stickers of the second type often decorate tiles, plumbing fixtures, and household appliances. Such products shimmer in the light and require periodic wiping, as prints remain on them.
And also all decorative stickers can be divided into color and black and white. The first type is very popular with children. Color drawings are also suitable for the decor of rooms decorated in neutral colors. If the bathroom has a bright finish, or you prefer minimalism, you can opt for black or white products. They allow you to give the interior individuality without unnecessary variegation.

You can also highlight the difference in the structure of the elements. There are smooth self-adhesive images and designs with a rough structure on sale. The former are used to decorate walls, furniture and other vertical surfaces. The second - can be glued to the floor of the room or to the bottom of the bath. These are anti-slip models that not only play the role of decoration, but also reduce the risk of falling.

Among other things, stickers differ in the materials from which they are made. Let's consider the main options.
Vinyl
Such products are environmentally friendly and absolutely safe. They do not contain harmful chemicals, which allows them to be used in families with small children. Stickers are easy to stick on and remove. The color gamut and design variations are very wide.

However, there are several types of vinyl stickers that are important to distinguish.
- Models consisting of backing paper, vinyl backing, and protective film... Such products are not suitable for bathroom decoration. The fact is that the paper base gets wet quickly at high humidity. Accordingly, the picture loses its attractiveness.
- Non-woven options... This component prevents the accumulation of condensation under the sticker. This helps reduce the risk of mold or mildew. However, the service life of such models is short.
- Drawings made entirely of vinyl. These products are durable, moisture resistant and are well suited for the bathroom. However, there is also a significant drawback. Vinyl can't breathe. Therefore, the likelihood of the appearance of fungus under the pattern over time is quite high.

Silicone
Outwardly, such stickers are very similar to vinyl ones. However, the material gives them some significant advantages.
- The presence of micropores allows the products to pass air. This will minimize the chances of developing fungi under the picture.
- The composition contains antiseptic components. They also inhibit the development of harmful microorganisms.
- The material is quite durable and wear-resistant. Of all the options, silicone models are considered the most durable.
The only caveat is the high percentage of fakes. Since silicone products are more expensive than others, they are more often counterfeited by unscrupulous manufacturers. Therefore, it is advisable to buy products from trusted firms.

Mirrored
Of course, such stickers only look like mirrors. In fact, they consist of a completely different material. There are vinyl varieties and there are acrylic products... The latter are slightly more expensive, but they are durable.

Design
When choosing a picture, you should focus on the purpose of the sticker (to entertain a child or just decorate the room), bathroom design and personal taste.
- The nautical theme is the most popular option. In the bathroom, such images look as natural as possible. Whales, dolphins, beautiful fish, bright jellyfish and other sea creatures will make the room lively and interesting. And also it can be a picturesque seascape, a beach with green palms, shells and crabs. There are many options. The 3D options look especially impressive.

- Baby stickers can be especially colorful... The same marine theme can be expressed here not by ordinary fish, but by cartoon characters with funny faces. If your child likes land animals more, you can decorate the walls with images of giraffes, lions and other animals. The boy can be delighted with sailboats or submarines on the walls of the bathroom, and the girl can be delighted with the fabulous Little Mermaid. You can create a real magical world indoors. This will help accustom the child to water procedures. The kid will rush to the bathroom on his own to wash his hands or take a bath with the fairy-tale characters.
As the child grows up, you can remove the stickers or replace them with more serious ones.

- Ecological style also fits harmoniously into the bathroom. Flowers, exotic plants, trees, or even entire landscapes can decorate a room.

- Abstract drawings ideal for modern bathrooms. These are geometric patterns that transform the space and emphasize the style of the interior.

- Stickers with text usually chosen by young people who want to express their position in life or cheer up themselves and their guests. These can be phrases related to the reception of water procedures or just interesting quotes. Often the words in such stickers are combined with the corresponding drawings (images of soap bubbles, a bath with curly legs, a shower head, a rubber duck, and so on).

- Stickers with humor. These can be funny sketches on the topic of hygiene (for example, a large tooth with a brush or a man soaping his head), emoticons or funny inscriptions with graphic accompaniment.

Locations
Stickers can be pasted on walls, furniture, mirrors, plumbing fixtures. Only non-slip images should be placed on the bathtub bottom and floor (for safety reasons).
It is undesirable to paste over with stickers wallpaper, long-painted walls with peeling paint, concrete, plaster. In such cases, after deleting the pattern, traces may remain. And also surfaces with greasy stains cannot be pasted over (the stickers will not adhere well).

How to glue?
The place where the picture will be located must be degreased and wiped dry. The sticker is gradually pressed to the surface. At the same time, the substrate is removed from it. Then the drawing is ironed, the protective film is removed.

With large images, things are a little more complicated. Here, a mounting film is used, which is applied to the sticker and removed after gluing the picture. When air bubbles form, they are pierced with a needle. Then the sticker is ironed with a spatula.
