Low Sheen Bathroom Paint
I need to paint the bathroom but the walls are not particularly
brilliant. I used B&Q's Everywhere/Everwhite Matt which is really good for disguising the unevenness but brilliant white is a bit stark. Is there a matt paint range available for bathrooms? Thanks, Ed. |

Try an eggshell finish instead. This gives a slight sheen rather than a high sheen gloss, but isn't as flat as matt. |

Thanks, Ed. oil based undercoat mixed with half as much gloss gives good results in bathrooms, vary proportions to get the level of sheen you want. To colour it, add a _small_ amount of coloured gloss paint - much less than you expect. Or just use emulsion. NT |

Just use a mid-sheen which is the same as a bathroom paint.
Avoid Homebase's own brand bathroom and kitchen paint. I wish I had. Within no time it had discoloured and gone patchy. |
