HOW TO PAINT PROPERLY
Bathrooms aren’t as simple to paint as other rooms, but don’t let that get in the way of being creative with colour. The humidity caused by warm temperatures and steam from the shower, and the occasional bath spill, mean walls and ceilings need paints that can withstand water. Many brands, including Benjamin Moore – its Aura Bath & Spa matte paint is shown here in warmly neutral Seapearl – offer finishes to protect against wear and tear. Choose a soft natural shade such as watery blue, leaf green or sunshine yellow for a calm, peaceful effect.
