      Use a measuring tape to take the measurements of your bathroom wall. You should measure the length and height of your walls. Multiply the height by the total length to get the square footage you will need to cover.

      Visit your local wallpaper supplier and ask the sales representative to show you where the vinyl wall coverings are located. You should get vinyl wallpaper for your bathroom because the steam from showers and baths can make the bathroom very humid. The high humidity can cause other types of wallpaper to become damp, resulting in mold and mildew behind the paper.

      Consider the size of your bathroom when looking at the patterns of vinyl paper that are available. Using large prints and patterns and dark colors will make your bathroom appear smaller. If your bathroom is small, you can make it appear larger by choosing wallpaper that is lighter in color and textured with small or no patterns.

      Select the wallpaper that suits your taste. Look at the measurements for the roll of paper to ensure that you have the square footage you need. You can purchase more than the required amount if you want to have a safety net for errors. It's better to have too much than too little.
