Why it is Important to Choose the Right Paint for your Bathroom
Exciting times ahead - you’re renovating your bathroom!
Decisions on bathroom renovations can be tough - you have to watch out for making bad mistakes in your decisions.
Choosing the wrong kind of wall paint is one of these you really really want to avoid.
‘Why’ you ask? Because, your bathroom is the one room in the house that is going to produce large amounts of damp and steam - especially in those cold winter months when the last thing you want to do is have a window open while you’re showering - brrrr. You also want to keep in mind that some paints are easier to clean and wipe down.
