Quite good feasible options are available for you to choose which you can implement in just a few days and with less hassle.

This is actually an amazing idea to take your bathroom decorations to higher level.

Every chunks of time you spend in the bathroom should be well spent that could drive you to relax, to free yourself from worries and get rid of distressing things. After all, the bathroom is one area in your house next to the sleeping room, that protects your privacy, sort of an inner sanctum so to speak. By applying fresh paint to your specific favorite, you can surely create an oasis out of your bathroom.

Here are the few quick painting tips, inclusive of some tips in choosing the right bathroom paint. The first order of the day is to consider the colors of the other bathroom fixtures before proceeding. Goodness, every color should match each other, so you could either change the color of the other fixtures or simply retain the color, for as long as it jibes with your chosen color, there seems to be no problem.

Undertake an evaluation of all the factors involved in the repainting. One important factor is for you to be able to make correct preparation to prevent the mold and mildew from further multiplying. So it is only a wise move to smooth the wall by scraping the former paint or dilapidated wall paper.

Use a bleaching agent to remove color, dry out, and thereafter choose paint that will be resistant to mildew and mold. In many paint stores there is a particular special bathroom paint designed for rooms with high amount of water vapor like the bathroom. This paint has mildew-killing chemicals. One other way though is using ordinary paint and mix with mildew before venturing to paint.

Bathroom wall repainting is also applicable to tiled walls. You can also enhance the tile walls by infusing fresh, clean and new color into them. The glossiness should always be retained and this should be the chief objective when doing the painting work. In order to make the paint glued rapidly, the tiles must be rubbed with fine sandpaper to modify the surface into some kind of a colorless surface. Then all dusts must be removed with a dampened piece of rug, followed by primary coating application, with the usual drying process at least encompassing an eight-hour time frame. The final touch would be, to apply your chosen high-gloss paint for an amazing new look.

Painting a tiled bathroom is also a novel idea. Why not? But since these tiles are of glossy materials, you need a bit of a roughing up activity on the wall using fine sandpaper. The target is to make the surface become smooth to allow the paint to hold pretty quick.

Afterward, fine matters need to be dusted away with a piece of damp cloth, apply the ceramic primer coatings and allow to dry up in a minimum of eight hours. Lastly, paint on your chosen color with an amazing high-gloss bathroom paint for a more refreshing finished product.

Pastel colors are better if you would like the bathroom to be serene-looking yet essaying a fullness of life. Take your pick from among these three colors: lavender, perry blue and mimosa yellow. For a dusky setting, you can select from these colors: brown, gray, olive, and graphite. But if your bathroom is one that's small, don't let it look smaller. So don't paint it with dark color or otherwise the lighting efficiency would be adversely affected as the light may find it hard to spread across dark colors. In case you insist on using dark color, then make it a point to confine it to one wall. A noteworthy rule of thumb though, is to paint the bathroom in two varying colors to avoid the room looking small.

When considering what colors of paint to use, it is rather good common sense to know that colors are essential in setting the mood and the appearance of your bathroom. Soft or light colors are meant to enliven the bathroom and make it look bigger. However, dark colors are more catering to an enhanced mood of intimacy.

For a smaller bathroom, be sure to do away with dark colors as this might make the room look smaller and could constrict the lighting in one area, eventually limiting which your eyes can see. The one basic principle in painting the bathroom is to always use double colors to avoid the look of a small bathroom.
