Bathroom Paint FAQs

What type of paint is best for the bathroom?

You can technically use any type of interior paint in a bathroom. But for the greatest longevity (and easier cleaning) you should stick to a bathroom paint with a satin, semi-gloss, or glossy finish.

Another thing worth considering is a moisture-resistant formula. This is a particularly good idea for full bathrooms that are used for daily showers.

Should a bathroom ceiling match the walls?

Typically, bathroom ceilings are either painted white or the same color as the surrounding walls. The former technique is sometimes used in small bathrooms to create the illusion of a larger space overall.

Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from getting creative with your bathroom paint ideas. Worst case scenario, you can paint over any color you end up hating!
