Freshening your bathroom for the summer can be highly rewarding, especially with the range of Benjamin Moore paints available. At Complete Paint & Supplies, our team encourages customers to think outside the box—why limit yourself only to walls?
These five bathroom paint ideas feature Benjamin Moore's product lines. We recommend them and think they'll inspire you to start this home improvement project.
Go For the Cabinets
For a summer refresh, paint bathroom cabinets in light, airy colors. Start by cleaning and sanding the surfaces. Apply a primer, then use a high-quality cabinet paint for a smooth, durable finish. Use a brush for the edges and a roller for larger areas to avoid brush marks. You can also add new hardware to complete the look.
Transform Your Bathtub
To paint a bathtub for summer, thoroughly clean and sand the surface to remove any grime. Then, apply a high-quality bonding primer designed for bathtubs. Use a durable epoxy or acrylic paint for the topcoat, applying it evenly with a foam roller. Allow ample drying time between coats. Finish with a clear waterproof sealant to protect the new paint job and ensure longevity. It's best to use specialty paints as bathtub paints because they're for unique surfaces.
Accent the Shower Area
Adding a perfectly painted accent wall in your shower area will boost your bathroom's style appeal. Choose a striking color that contrasts with the rest of your bathroom's palette. Benjamin Moore Aura Bath & Spa paints work well in high-humidity areas, and their durable finish resists mildew. Consider a deep teal or a rich red to make a unique statement that draws in the eye.
Bold and Bright Walls
One of the simplest and most impactful ways to refresh a bathroom is by painting its walls. Benjamin Moore offers exciting colors that can instantly brighten up the space. Bright hues add a pop of energy; muted and pale blues create a calming effect. Look for paint with a mildew-resistant formula to keep your bathroom looking fresh and clean for longer.
Yes, You Can Paint the Ceiling
Often overlooked, bathroom ceilings can add character to your space when given proper attention. A bathroom ceiling paint in a shade that complements your walls can tie the entire room together.
To paint a bathroom ceiling, clean and sand the surface and apply a mildew-resistant primer. Use a roller for large areas and a brush for edges. Apply in even strokes, allowing adequate drying time between coats. If you also plan to paint the walls, do the ceiling first because it can drip.
