The Pacific Northwest climate often inspires a connection to nature, leading to popular decor choices like natural stone, wood-look tiles, and botanical-themed wallpapers in Portland bathrooms.
Avoid porous materials that easily absorb moisture or are prone to mold growth. Standard wallpapers not rated for high humidity or untreated wood in shower areas are generally not recommended for Oregon bathrooms.
Generally, standard aesthetic wall decor does not require permits in Oregon. However, if the installation involves structural changes or electrical work, permits will be necessary. We ensure all work complies with state and local codes.
