Cover the walls bathroom with wallpaper Not long ago, it seemed like a utopia. Water, steam after a hot shower, the difficulty of cleaning surfaces with ordinary detergents without their concessions have long been considered insurmountable obstacles.

Already in 2012 Wall&decò he began to think about product suitable for humid environmentsas he explains Christian Beninifounder and creative director of the brand: «The market demanded it an alternative to tiles and resin, the only solution present at the time. The first did not allow obtaining continuous surfaces; the latter proved too delicate over time, so a new covering was needed. In other words, the market demanded a product that would guarantee continuity of surfaces and strong resistance to the daily use of anti-limescale agents or disinfectants.”
