Design Without Limits: Reimagining the Bathroom with Waterproof Wallpaper

Across centuries and cultures, the bathroom has always been more than just a utilitarian space. In ancient Rome, public baths—or thermae—were grand sanctuaries of rest and rejuvenation. In Japan, onsen bathing traditions first emerged from spiritual purification rites, before evolving into deeply ingrained practices of wellness and renewal. These ancient ideas still hold.

Today, the bathroom remains one of the few places where we relax, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. Yet when it comes to bathroom design, possibility often yields to practicality. We begin our renovations with Pinterest boards and paint swatches, agonising over the perfect shade of off-white, then losing sleep over whether matte black or brushed gold light switches make the bolder statement. There’s vision. There’s optimism. Until we reach the bathroom door.

Suddenly, imagination gives way to compromise. Bold patterns are abandoned for blank tile. Texture is reduced to grout. And the entire space becomes an exercise in avoidance—of mess, of mould, of maintenance. Square tile or rectangular tile. Big tile or small. That’s as far as we let ourselves roam.

The Cost of Playing It Safe

With Singapore’s climate being what it is, we’ve all been conditioned to prioritise practicality. And with good reason. Moisture, humidity, and mould are very real concerns—especially in the bathroom, where steam and spray leave no surface untouched. It’s no wonder tiles have long been the go-to. They’re reliable. They endure. And they work well enough.

But that same fear—of leaks, of damp, of disrepair—has seriously hemmed in our creativity and design thinking. Expression is sacrificed at the altar of waterproofing. The indignities of wet works—noise, dust, hassle, cost—are accepted as necessary evils. And in the end, the bathroom becomes something we design around, not something we approach with intent or desire.

What If Bathrooms Could Be Both Expressive and Enduring?
