Bathroom Paint
Choosing the right type of paint for your bathroom is essential to achieve a stylish and durable finish that can withstand the unique challenges posed by this humid and moisture-prone environment.
Selecting the best paint for your bathroom walls
Bathroom-specific paints are formulated to combat the high humidity levels and fluctuating temperatures often found in bathrooms. These paints contain moisture-resistant properties that help prevent the growth of mould and mildew, making them an excellent choice for the damp conditions of bathrooms. Water-based emulsion paints are popular choices for bathroom decoration due to their low odour and quick drying times. Look for paints with anti-mould and anti-mildew qualities to ensure long-lasting protection against moisture-related issues.
Silk, Satin and Eggshell finishes
These finishes provide a subtle sheen that's easy to clean and resistant to moisture. These finishes work well in bathrooms as they offer a level of durability that can handle regular cleaning without compromising on aesthetics.
Look for paints that mention mould resistance on the label. These paints contain anti-fungal agents that prevent mould growth, making them an excellent option for bathrooms. These are quite often designed to also withstand high levels of humidity and moisture without compromising their integrity. These paints are ideal for bathrooms where dampness is a constant concern.
The average UK bathroom in the home is normally quite small so opt for light and neutral colours to create a sense of spaciousness in your bathroom. Light colours also help reflect light, which is crucial in spaces with limited natural light.
