Choosing the Right Bathroom Paint

Selecting bathroom paint for your renovation project can feel overwhelming. However, with the right guidance, it becomes manageable.

How to Choose Bathroom Paint

Bathroom paints need to be durable. They also play a key role in setting your desired aesthetic. So, if you’re seeking tips on picking the perfect paint, you’re in the right place. Here’s how to choose the best bathroom paint.

Which Paint Finish Is Best?

First, consider the finish. Unlike other rooms, the bathroom requires a finish resistant to water, humidity, and temperature. Glossy paints, offering sheen, excel in these areas. High-gloss paints, for example, shine and provide excellent durability. They’re ideal for humid environments and accidental spills.

On the other hand, matte paints, with lower resistance to moisture, are best avoided. They work only in well-ventilated areas, far from water sources. Satin and eggshell finishes provide a middle ground. They offer decent protection against humidity and are easy to clean. For a high-quality eggshell finish, we recommend Isle of Skye’s bathroom paint.

Does Every Bathroom Need the Same Paint?

Not necessarily. The main bathroom, used daily, demands more durable paint. Frequent steam and humidity, plus little hands touching the walls, require a hard-wearing finish. For guest bathrooms with less traffic, an eggshell finish, like Isle of Syke’s ‘Skye Durable,’ works well.

Should You Use Anti-Mould Paint?

Absolutely, especially in busy bathrooms. Anti-mould paints, such as Tirrulika Luja 7, contain agents that protect walls from moisture. They’re perfect for bathrooms used daily. Additionally, anti-mould primers, like Luja Universal Primer, offer great protection for various surfaces
