Built-in tubs are a feature in many older homes and may not always have a pleasing aesthetic. This budget-friendly DIY bathroom makeover focused on using paint to refresh existing surfaces rather than replacing them, making it an accessible option for homeowners looking to transform a space without a full renovation. Our makeover kept the main elements in the room and upgraded walls, cabinetry, and floors with only a coat of paint.<\/p>\r\n

Moisture-Resistant Paint for Bathrooms<\/h3>\r\n

Because bathrooms are high-humidity spaces, it\u2019s important to choose interior paint finishes and products designed to hold up to moisture. While you can use regular interior paint in a bathroom, selecting a durable, washable finish, especially in areas exposed to steam, helps prevent peeling, mildew, and frequent touch-ups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paint Colors:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walls: Silver Feather BWC-29 <\/a>\u00a0tinted in Interior Flat Finish<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Accent wall: Starless Night PPU14-20<\/a> tinted in Interior Flat Finish<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Trim: Polar Bear 75<\/a> tinted in Cabinetry & Trim Interior Semi-gloss<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vanity: Starless Night PPU14-20<\/a> tinted in Cabinetry & Trim Interior Semi-gloss<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Floor: Polar Bear 75<\/a> & Starless Night PPU14-20<\/a> tinted in Porch & Patio Floor Paint<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paint can make an impact without replacing large room elements. Neutral colors and limited materials can transform this bathroom into a place of serenity.\u00a0 Starless Night<\/a> makes a dramatic and refined accent. Finishing touches such as plants infuse this bathroom with life and color.<\/p>\r\n

In most bathroom makeovers, two coats of paint are typically recommended for the best coverage and long-lasting color, especially when painting over darker shades or making a bold change like this deep navy accent wall. A primer plus two finish coats will deliver the smoothest, most moisture-resistant results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A couple of few fresh coats of BEHR PREMIUM\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Cabinet & Trim Interior Semi-Gloss Enamel\u00a0<\/a> paint can go a long way toward transforming your existing cabinets. For budget-conscious renovators, repainting a vanity is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh a bathroom and achieve a high-end look without replacing cabinetry. A round mirror soften the hard vanity edges while simple, streamlined sconces omit a warm glow and add depth.<\/p>\r\n

When choosing a finish for bathroom walls, satin is often the best choice because it offers moisture resistance with a softer, more forgiving look. Semi-gloss is even more durable and easier to wipe clean, but it can highlight wall imperfections. In most bathrooms, satin works beautifully for walls, while semi-gloss is ideal for trim, doors, and vanities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Baths play and important part of restoring the mind and body. Natural elements such as a bamboo stool, natural wood brushes, scented candles, bath salts and oils add a therapeutic and calming quality to a home spa. Lightweight, stylish shelves create interesting silhouettes and help maintain an organized display of\u00a0 spa\/bath products.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
