Make a splash

Use an oil-based, waterproof paint for a bathroom splashback and make sure the surface is prepped well. Why not follow in Tiffany Duggan’s footsteps and select a gloss for the ceiling? ‘It bounces light around the room and creates a sky-like feel,’ she says. Tiffany painted the skirting board the same colour as the walls to make sure the ceiling is the star of the show and to create a clear distinction with the rough-plastered matt walls.
