Downstairs loo and cloakroom wallpaper ideas
Quick answer
The cloakroom is the place to be brave: bold, large or dark pattern feels exciting rather than overwhelming in a room you visit briefly. Consider papering the ceiling too.
Practical tips
- Paper every wall for a cocooning effect.
- Animal print and tropical designs are cloakroom classics.
- Mirrors double the pattern.
