Painting a bathroom can be tricky. After all, it is a room with high humidity, where water and steam settle on the walls. This creates a risk of mold development and peeling. Conventional colors are often the reason for such problems. But there are special shades that can withstand moisture. Choosing the right wet room paint could help you avoid these unpleasant problems. Even cleaning the bathroom is much easier. What color to use in the bathroom? Here we give you some tips that could help you make your choice.
When painting with conventional paints, bubbles andMold in high humidityarise, but the shades with moisture-repellent properties can resist these negative effects. Some companies sell special wet room paints for particularly problematic rooms. But in most bathrooms, regular high-gloss paint could be moisture-resistant enough. The wetter the bathroom, the shinier the colors should be.
Mildew-resistant shades
Moisture can promote mold growth, even with high-gloss paints. While it is easier to remove mold from high-gloss paint, it would be better to prevent this problem early. Choose a wet room paint with special chemical fungicides that kill spores of the fungus.
Oil paints
While these paints can cause air quality problems while they dry, they provide a much more durable, moisture-resistant finish than most watercolors. Oil paints are less commonly used than latex and other water-based paints, but are still readily available and could be a good solution for wet areas. They require the use of solvents to clean and may take a while to dry, so make sure the bathroom is well ventilated.
Several shades of color
A pretty and harmonious option is to use different nuances of a certain color for the design. Here, for example, two shades of blue were chosen to decorate the walls. The rest is neutral. White decorates the trim and gray tiles the floor. All in all, the room design fits perfectly with the vintage tub.
Matt, high gloss or satin finish?
This variant is also modern and quite colorful. The walls feature an interesting striped pattern of three colors, including a shiny one with a silver effect. The yellow stripes go great with the equally yellow wash cabinet. In the small toilet, tiles are only used as a splash guard over the sink.
Green wall paint in the bathroom
Green radiates freshness and puts you in a good mood. To prevent colored walls from appearing too intrusive, it is a good idea to combine them with a neutral color for the ceiling and floor. That is also the case with this bathroom. The mosaic tiles on the floor, ceiling, trim, window frames and shower tiles were chosen in white and create balance. But other colors such as gray or beige are also suitable.
Pastel blue shades
You can just as easily add subtle color accents. An accent wall or, as here, light pastel tones are perfect for this purpose. The rest of the bathroom is decorated in white and a light shade of gray. The cabinet has a natural wood pattern.
