Answer

In high humidity rooms like bathrooms, paint with mold-resistant qualities outperforms most wallpapers in maintenance and durability. High-quality vinyl wallpapers tolerate moisture better than paper ones but still risk peeling or staining over time. Paints allow easier cleanups and touch-ups. If choosing wallpaper, ensure strong adhesive and proper ventilation. Regularly inspect walls to prevent moisture buildup and maintain room health. Proper choice depends on your maintenance willingness and style goals.
