Repaint your bathroom: advice before you start from Rated People

Paint can add depth, light, atmosphere and completely overhaul the look of a room in an instant. Find out what you need to know to get great results.

Paint is the decorator's perfect tool. It is relatively easy to apply, comes in hundreds of hues and it updates the look of a room in a flash. A little forethought is all you need to ensure great results.

1. Consider what you want to paint: are you going for a whole new look or just highlighting a feature wall with colour? Work out how much paint you'll need with our calculator.

2. Think of the colour scheme that will best achieve the look you are striving for. Splashes of bright colour will catch the eye, open up small space and add a bold note to any room, whereas muted tones can be more peaceful and relaxing.

3. Make sure you select the right type of paint for your surfaces. In the bathroom you want a durable, easy cleaning, mildew-resistant paint.

4. Opt for eco-friendly formulas, which are better for you and for the environment.

5. If you plan to do the painting yourself, watch our video on how to do it properly. Alternatively, you can get a tradesman to do all the hard work for you. Rated People has thousands of recommended experts that can help you.
