I'm considering the idea of papering the bathroom wall and wonder if there's a type of backing paper to help with damp and condensation. Vinyl and pvc wallpapers look and feel nasty so i'd need something to help prevent mould and damp problems.

The walls are already painted in Wilko's bathroom paint, but i'd like to decorate with wallpaper to compliment the new tile surround around the shower/bath.
AFAIK, there is nothing that you can put under a regular paper that will stop it from absorbing the moisture in the room. You might be able to paint the wallpaper with a clear waterbased varnish but you risk activating the wallpaper paste.
Not all vinyl wallpapers look cheap. The following company sells vinyl paper at up to £370 per roll.

Yeah, i had a feeling that would be the case, so i'd have to put a thick backing paper over the wall and carefully consider where to do it. The big problem area is around the window where condensation is most excessive, especially in winter but tiling so far up the wall throws the decorating scheme out-of-whack. It'd be simpler to paper round the window but subject to damage from damp.AFAIK, there is nothing that you can put under a regular paper that will stop it from absorbing the moisture in the room.
