If your bathroom is looking a bit tired and dated and an entire bathroom renovation isn’t possible, a fresh coat of paint will do wonders. The bathroom paint ideas you use will depend on the size of your bathroom and the feel you’d like your bathroom to have.

Haymes Paint has been helping people with bathroom paint ideas for over 80 years. Colourful paints can be overwhelming in a large bathroom while crisp white paints can make a smaller bathroom feel larger. Breaking the colour rules can pay off though. Powder room or small bathroom paint ideas that are popular include painting the walls a bold colour.
