First, after the application, peel and stick wallpaper can’t be in direct and consistent contact with water (inside a shower cabinet, right next to a bath, etc.).
Second, peel and stick wallpaper must be applied on a dry and clean wall; otherwise, it will not adhere properly. It will not stick, and/or it may start peeling off if you have applied it to a damp surface.
Third, most likely, it will not work if there are ventilation problems and extreme humidity in the bathroom.

Our wallpaper is not recommended for textured walls to ensure the best possible performance and appearance of the wallpaper. However, we have found in tests that our peel and stick wallpaper does stick to a variety of lightly textured walls better than various vinyl wallpapers.
However, we recommend ordering a sample of the wallpaper and keeping it on the wall for 2-3 days. If the wallpaper remains on the wall and is not peeling off, you can place an order. Nevertheless, none of the wallpapers will hide the texture of your wall after application.
Therefore, pay attention to the surface of the wallpaper after its application on the textured wall to make sure you are satisfied with the outcome.

Peel and stick wallpaper is often ordered and used for a backsplash. However, you need to keep peel and stick wallpaper—or any other wallpaper—away from open fire and heat. In case of using it for a backsplash, we recommend applying it on a smooth, dry, and clean surface. Please apply a primer on drywalls if they haven’t been covered with plaster or any other coating.

Applying self-adhesive wallpaper to the ceiling is also an option, and we have seen pictures of it done. It can be applied to the ceiling if the surface is smooth, but it might require extra effort since the application has to be done over your head.
Step-by-Step Instructions

Before diving into the installation process, make sure you have the essential tools on hand. We recommend preparing the following tools: level, utility knife, measuring tape, pencil, cloth or squeegee for smoothing.

The first step is to ensure your wall is clean and dry. This is crucial for the wallpaper to stick properly.

Start from the top of your wall and gradually press the wallpaper onto the surface, smoothing out any bubbles as you go. Carefully trim any excess paper with your utility knife.
-
To keep your wallpaper looking its best, clean it with a damp cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals.

When you're ready for a change, start at a corner and peel the wallpaper off slowly. It won't leave any residue behind.
