How to Paint a bathroom using Tikkurila

A fresh coat of paint can completely transform the appearance of your bathroom. Bathrooms are primarily functional spaces, they can also be a great place to experiment with colour and design in your home.

Decorating a bathroom certainly comes with its challenges. This guide includes practical tips to help make redecorating a success!

What paint is suitable for a bathroom?

Bathrooms are high-traffic rooms, susceptible to humidity and moisture. The frequent exposure to water, steam and harsh cleaning products can be tough on paints used in this room. This means that choosing a moisture-resistant paint with mould-preventative agents is highly recommended to ensure long-term results.

How to paint your front door without removing it

Tip: Leave your front door open to let the paint dry so make sure you pick a warm spring day with no rain forecast.

Step 1. Remove the door hardware

Unscrew all the fixtures on your door including the number and letterbox. It’s much easier to remove these completely than have to paint around them. Whatever you don’t remove cover with masking tape or decorator’s tape to protect it from paint.

If you have glass panels, use decorator’s tape to stick newspaper over the top so you don’t accidentally get paint on them.

Tip: tape the screws and fixtures together this will help you in the long run so your spending ages finding the right pairs when you have to reattach them.

Step 2. Clean the door

Use a diluted general purpose household cleaner to scrub your door. Remove any debris, grease and dirt and then rinse it
