#2. Paint
This choice may raise some eyebrows but if we give it a second thought, using paint can actually be a relatively cheap way to add a pop of colour into your bathroom design. In case you’re wondering, there are now special bathroom paints available in the market that can provide a tough moisture and steam-resistant finish.
The biggest takeaway you can get from this alternative is personalisation. The use of paint enables you to find the perfect colour and shade that will match just the type of colour you have in mind! Just visualise the aesthetic look you want and then paint your bathroom just the way you imagined it!
Now here are extremely important things to note if you’re looking to use paint for your bathroom walls:
The shinier the paint, the easier it is maintain and the more resistant it is to moisture.
If you want to go for a matte or flat colour, make sure that your bathroom space is well ventilated as flat paints typically don’t resist stains very well and tend to grow mold faster than the other paint sheens.
So, when purchasing, you want to make sure that the type of paint you buy perfectly suits your bathroom environment. If this is your first time renovating your bathroom wall using paint, we suggest you talk to an expert who can educate you more on how you can ensure you get the perfect paint type.

#3. CERAMIN Flooring
CERAMIN Flooring is a new waterproof floor that is durable tough and more importantly waterproof. It was developed as an alternative to natural stone and ceramic tiles. A combination of polypropylene with natural materials makes these tiles lighter and easier to work with. They can be attached to walls and floors in order to give rooms a uniform look. The bathroom and kitchen range is called Vario and features many different styles and designs.
If you’re a fan of charming and warm-toned colours, this choice will definitely suit your style. The bathroom design above from SUBU Design Architecture can give you a little inspiration on how wood aesthetics can impact a bathroom feel. See how the earthy colour brought warmth to the overall look of the space?
