Because few rooms produce as much dampness as the bath.

Whichever paint you choose, it needs to stand up to humid conditions.

Here are the best paint finishes for bathrooms.

We’ve broken down the pros and cons of each finish below.

Semi-Gloss

In terms of preferred paint finishes, Glidden recommends using either satin or semi-gloss.

Many people recommend using a semi-gloss in bathrooms since it virtually repels moisture.

Semi-gloss is also the most durable paint finish among our top choices.

This very scrubbable paint can be used on both trim and walls.

Satin

Satin paint is ideal for high-traffic rooms and stands up to regular cleaning and scrubbing.

Use it on walls, trim, and ceilings.

With its subtle sheen, this is a great all-purpose paint finish for a bathroom.

Moisture not only encourages mold and mildew, it can also cause paint to peel.

Check, check, and check!

If mold is already an issue, you also might want to look into a mold-killing primer.

Before you invest in a gallon of paint, confirm to sample the color and finish on your walls.
