Painting a bathroom can be an exciting task – it delivers the biggest change for the least amount of money. Before you paint your bathroom, however, there are a few things you’ll need to do. You should make sure to choose the right color scheme, fix any water damage, and clean the walls. This will help you to get the most out of your painting project.

Choose the Right Color Scheme

Choosing the right color scheme for your bathroom is a critical step that you can’t skip. It would be unfortunate to spend all that time painting your bathroom and then the rest of your décor doesn’t match. You should make sure to choose paint colors that will coordinate with the rest of the things in your bathroom like the rugs and shower curtains. A neutral paint color will allow you to select accessories and towels that you can change as your style and trends change. Once you have picked the right color scheme, then you’ll be able to paint without any worry that things won’t match.

Fix Water Damage

If you are planning on painting your bathroom, you should fix water damage before you do so. Painting over water damage is just putting a band-aid over the problem. Eventually, you’ll need to go in and fix the damage and it will save you time and money if you do it before you paint. You’re more likely to need to replace your drywall in rooms like the bathroom that are exposed to more moisture. Fixing any water damage before painting is the best way to maximize your paint job and get the most out of your money.

Clean the Walls

In some areas of the house, you could get by with some light cleaning before painting. However, in the bathroom, it is crucial to clean the walls. Soap scum around the bathtub and shower surrounds can cause your nice paint job to peel off. That’s if you can even get the paint to stick in the first place. It would be frustrating to spend a lot of time and money to paint your bathroom, just for it to peel off quickly. Then you will have to start over. It’s better to just do the job right the first time.

As you plan for painting your bathroom, there are a few things you need to consider. You should make sure to choose the right color scheme, fix any water damage, and clean the walls. Each of these things will help you to get the job done right. Take your time to do it right and you’ll be very pleased with the result.
