The Bathroom Wall: Paint Away Your Dated Look


by DoItYourself Staff

Did you know that the quickest and easiest way to give your old and tired-looking bathroom a whole new look is with bathroom wall paint? Here are some points to consider when you repaint your bathroom.

Paint is Inexpensive

When considering a bathroom makeover, the least expensive option is a fresh coat of paint. Even faux paints or gold-flecked paints are reasonable compared to other options like wallpaper or tile. 

Colors Transform a Bathroom

Make a small bathroom appear larger or a large bathroom look more cozy and inviting with the careful selection of color. Bathroom wall paint color can soften or highlight, add a dramatic touch or accent particular pieces like a distinctive vanity or cabinet.

Choose Type of Paint

Bathrooms are moist and damp places that are prone to mold and mildew. Make sure you choose the right type of paint. Look for mold- and mildew-resistant paint. Paint choices include oil and oil-based paints and varnishes, water-thinned coatings, including emulsion paints and latex paints. 

Consider Different Paint Effects

Beyond just bathroom wall paint, there are various painting techniques that add flair and distinctiveness to bathroom walls and ceilings. Consider faux effects, a porcelain crackle technique, rubbing, ragging, dragging and sponge painting.
