Choosing the Right Bathroom Paint For Your Bathroom Type
Who are the main users of the bathroom you are going to paint? The answer to this question will help you decide on the right bathroom paint to use. Another factor to be taken into consideration is the size of the room itself. In most homes the bathroom is the smallest room in the house. So choosing a light color, or even plain white, will help to make the room seem larger.
The master bathroom is the most flexible bathroom type, since it is likely to be the one used by the painter. A good rule of thumb would be to use flattering colors – no yellows or greens please. Those colors reflect light that makes your face look like a ghost.
If you want a white room, then the secondary color used for trim should be something bright – maybe orchid or teal. If your main color is cream or beige, use a darker colored trim, such as hunter green.
The next of the bathroom types, the children’s bathroom, should present an inviting atmosphere. Help your kids enjoy being in the room, since it is there that they learn many things about life. Involve them in planning the theme of their bathroom.
If you are creative, you could paint a mural. If not, you could use a pre-cut stencil to paint a sea creature motif. Or do most of the wall with an aqua colored bathroom paint, and put a border of sea animals around the edges.
When painting the guest bathroom, remember that it is an extension of the guest bedroom. Use the same color, or perhaps a somewhat lighter shade, since the room is small.
Your primary goal should be to make sure that your guests have a comfortable visit. Some people would interpret this by using a neutral tone, while others would go with a more vibrant color. Either choice is acceptable – it’s basically a reflection of your personality, which will be subtly picked up by your guests.
