Painting Bathrooms for a Spa-Like Feel

DIY Tips & How To Expert Advice & Painting Ideas

Have you ever dreamed of stepping into your bathroom and feeling like you’ve entered a tranquil spa? With the right paint, colours, and finishes, you can create a serene sanctuary that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Bathrooms are unique spaces, often plagued by moisture and humidity, making it crucial to choose the right products. 

Haymes Paint is Australia’s largest family-owned paint brand and has been crafting high-quality, Australian-made products for almost 90 years. With innovative solutions designed specifically for wet areas, Haymes Paint makes it easy to turn your bathroom into the spa-like retreat you’ve always wanted.

Navigating the Challenges of Bathroom Paint

Bathrooms are notoriously tough spaces to paint. Constant exposure to steam, water splashes, and high humidity can wreak havoc on walls. Standard paints often lack the moisture resistance needed for these conditions, leading to peeling, discolouration, or even bubbling. Worse, they can fail to prevent mould and mildew, creating not just unsightly but unhealthy environments.

Haymes Paint understands these challenges, therefore our products are crafted to withstand the rigours of bathroom use while maintaining a fresh, clean appearance. With the right paint, you can solve these problems and create a space that’s both beautiful and practical.

How to Choose Paint That Lasts and Protects

Not all paints are created equal, especially when it comes to bathrooms. For lasting results, moisture resistance is essential, and Haymes Paint offer the standout option in Australia:

Kitchen & Bathroom: This ultra-premium paint is a game-changer for wet areas. With a 10-year mould and mildew protection guarantee, it provides exceptional durability in high-humidity spaces. The 99% free-VOC formula ensures a safe, low-odour application, and its superior washability makes maintenance a breeze​. 

Kitchen & Bathroom paint not only protects your walls but also enhances the aesthetic of your bathroom, making them the perfect foundation for a spa-like transformation.

Transform Your Bathroom into a Sanctuary

Creating a spa-like feel starts with choosing the right colours and finishes. Your palette sets the tone for relaxation and rejuvenation.

  • Go Neutral for Calm: Soft greys, whites, and off-whites create a sense of peace and simplicity.
  • Add Natural Elements: Earthy tones like sand or muted greens connect your space with nature.
  • Brighten with Pastels: Light blues or lavenders evoke serenity while adding a subtle pop of colour.

Pairing your chosen palette with the right finish is also important. Low sheen provides a sophisticated softness that subtly hides imperfections and reflects low light beautifully​​. For extra customisation, Haymes Paint’s colour-matching service ensures your vision becomes a reality, offering endless options to suit your style.

Ensuring Your Bathroom Stays Beautiful

Painting your bathroom isn’t just about the finish; it’s about preparation and care to keep it looking flawless for years.

  1. Start with a Clean Slate: Remove all mould using a reliable mould remover and sand surfaces to ensure the paint adheres properly.
  2. Prime for Success: Use Ultraseal® — an ultra-premium quality water based Acrylic Sealer Undercoat — to create a perfect base for your chosen paint​​.
  3. Apply with Care: Paint evenly with a roller or brush, allowing each coat to dry completely before reapplying.
  4. Maintain the Look: Clean walls regularly with mild detergents and keep an eye out for any signs of wear or mould to address them early.

With these steps, you’ll not only achieve a professional-looking result but also ensure it lasts through years of daily use.
