But hanging pictures in the bathroom can be a little more difficult than elsewhere. This room differs from the others in the high humidity and water vapor, so it is important to protect the images as much as possible. Make sure to match the frame and image content with yoursBathroom furnishingsand architectural features. Today we'll give you a few tips and great examples.
Hanging pictures in the bathroom – The high humidity is a problem
Choose an inexpensive image or print to avoid the risk of something sentimental, valuable and irreplaceable being spoiled by moisture damage. Magazine pages, simple computer printouts, or photocopies of your favorite works of art are a good idea.
The high humidity in the bathroom can cause condensation to form under the glass in the picture frame. To avoid damage to the surface of the picture, use mat board so that the surface of the picture does not touch the glass. Picture frames must be well sealed and sealed. Condensation is less likely to occur within an acrylic frame because the material provides better thermal insulation than glass. With acrylic and plastic, your bare feet would also be protected from the risk of glass breakage.
Hang pictures in the bathroom – the right place
Pictures in the bathroom should not be hung directly next to a walk-in shower or bathtub, as steam and water spray are concentrated in this area. Blank walls near the toilet, vanity or entrance are usually a better choice. If there is a window in the bathroom, be aware of direct sunlight because UV rays could damage photos and framed art over time. Acrylic or glass frames with UV filters offer some protection. The problem can also be solved by some kind of sun protection such as blinds.

The correct arrangement of the pictures depends on the available wall space, the number of pictures, the size of the picture frames and the architectural features of the room. Picture frames of the same size in a horizontal row would create visual space, while vertically arranged pictures are perfect for narrow walls. For a group of different sized murals, consider asymmetrical arrangement.
