I bought this to see what it was and how I might use it in my house. It is thin, flexible (not rigid), with a peel-and-stick backing, and now having seen it, I think I might order more in my preferred color and use it as a wall backing behind a small nook in my kitchen area where my phone is. There's a small table the phone sits on, and this would dress up the area behind it. I ordered both brown and dark brown colors; the brown is slightly cooler in tone. I have tried to show both colors in the photos, so you can see the difference. The finish is matte, which looks natural. Although it is water resistant, they advise not putting it on the floor (I don't think it will stand up to foot traffic), and not to cover an entire shower wall with it. I believe you could put it somewhere in the bathroom, but just not an entire shower wall.
