How to Properly Select the Colors of Your Bathroom

Many people rate houses by the outside appearance, but how they look inside is what captivate potential clients. The interior design of the house and the themes used on the walls and fixtures matter a lot. So what bathroom paint should you use?

The Primary Considerations before Choosing the Bathroom Paint Colors

You cannot go to your nearest store and pick up any paint and apply it to your bathroom walls. That’ll be okay if you don’t mind, but is it a good move? Before you can even head to the store, you have to take note of the following issues;

  1. Amount of light in your bathroom.
  2. How well will the color complement the fixtures in there?
  3. The type of theme that you’re planning to achieve.
  4. Consider the color of your tiles and flooring.
  5. The paint will affect the reflection of your bathroom mirror (it affects the process of grooming or applying makeup).
  6. Features for moisture resistance.
  7. There are some best tools to own you can get for the job and level of expertise (decide whether you will opt for DIY bathroom painting or hire a professional).

The Best Colors for Your Bathroom Walls

There are a variety of colors to choose from for your bathroom. It all depends on the factors that were mentioned earlier, but the following are the best options of colors that you can correctly execute your bathroom paint ideas.

Grey

Grey is a laid-back type of color that gives a room a classy and comfortable theme. It is a balanced and neutral color that provides calmness, mostly if you prefer taking long periods in the tub. Grey will help you go into more profound thoughts, especially if there’s minimal lighting in the room.

Black

Black is a dull theme and so pronounced. Unlike the whole atmosphere of darkness, many people, especially in the modern take of interior designing, have preferred going with black for their bathroom walls. However, it is smart to complement the black with fixtures with brighter colors such as white to balance the place. Good lighting is also a must when you go black.

White

White is the most used color, and it’s the best paint for bathrooms. White signifies peace, surrender, and purity. With such a color in your bathroom, you’ll find the place very refreshing from the moment you walk in. All white strikes differently, including the fixtures, making the area more appealing and uniform. You don’t have to do much in terms of complementing the color as it looks good on its own.

Cream

The cream is a darker version of white. Well, the take on cream is that it introduces a “wildly” aspect to the bathroom that creates a woodland vibe. It’s rare to find a brown bathroom, especially in a modern house, unless it’s a cabin, but cream can give you the same satisfaction in your bathroom.

Blue

The first impression of blue in a bathroom is that you’re about to experience a “sea bath”. Just like the ocean, blue brings in the chilling vibe in your room. The inclusion of white in different spots should blend well with the whole theme and make a complete look.

Green

Nothing is as good as having a natural atmosphere where you’re taking your bath. The room will have a refreshing feeling and an all-round positive vibe since the color will turn in a good mood. You should marry the color with patterns of a different color to complement the whole design.

Pink

Especially for the ladies, pink would have been the first choice of color for your bathroom. Pink is cute, let’s be honest, although not many people would be bold enough to paint in on their walls.

Note: It is essential to analyze the different shades of each color so that you can get the perfect fit for your bathroom. At some point, you will have to blend different colors to come up with a complete design.

 

The Different Types of Bathroom Paint Finishes

There are several options to select from when you want to repaint your bathroom. The choices you’ve got include;

  1. Matte/Flat It’s discouraged because it absorbs moisture and it’s hard to clean.
  2. Eggshell Although it does provide good textures, it’s difficult to clean and can encourage mildew.
  3. Satin It’ll work well for bathrooms with features of low humidity because it provides some gloss and minimal water absorption.
  4. Semi-gloss It’s a recommended option as it’s simple to clean and repels moisture.
  5. High-gloss It’s also a waterproof bathroom paint although it shows imperfections which is a disadvantage.
  6. Specialty bathroom paints They are additional coats that provide moisture and microbial resistance to the walls. They are expensive, though.

 

Process of Painting Your Bathroom

Once you have your paint and all the requirements, you should learn how to paint bathroom cabinets. The process of transforming your bathroom walls is as follows;

  1. Ensure all the surfaces to be painted are all clean.
  2. Disconnect the toilet tank
  3. Relocate all the other fixtures that might get in your way
  4. Adequately cover all areas that you won’t be painting.
  5. Put tape as boundaries of the area you are painting.
  6. Apply the first coat using the roller and wait for it to dry
  7. After about 2 hours, paint the second coat.
  8. Please clean up the area and leave it to dry.

 

Conclusion

Repainting can be an exciting process, especially if you go DIY to save the cost to paint the bathroom. It would be best if you also considered ceiling paint for bathrooms since they are slightly different from the ones on the walls. Ensure that you get the best paints to avoid redoing the process all over once you have mildew on your walls. Choose the color that suits you, and that will blend well with the fixtures and amount of light in your bathroom. Are you doing any repainting? What color do you prefer for your bathroom?
