Refreshing Your Bathroom

Once you've chosen the perfect Dunn-Edwards DURA paint colors for your bathroom, it's time to start the refreshing process. Here are some tips:

Preparation

Properly prepare the surface by cleaning and priming it. This ensures that the paint adheres well and lasts longer. Here are the steps for preparation:

Clean the Walls: Use a mild detergent and water to remove any dirt, grease, or mildew. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry.
Repair Any Imperfections: Fill any holes or cracks with spackling paste and sand them smooth. Make sure the surface is even.
Tape and Cover: Use painter's tape to protect trim, fixtures, and edges. Cover the floor and any furniture with a canvas drop cloth to keep paint from tracking and a clear plastic drop cloth to protect against accidental spills.

Paint Application

Apply the chosen paint colors evenly and allow them to dry completely between coats. Dunn-Edwards DURA paints are known for their excellent coverage, so you may need fewer coats. Here are the steps for applying paint:

Prime the Walls: Our Dunn-Edwards DURA™ Premium Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Primer is great for bathroom walls to ensure good adhesion and to cover any stains or color variations.
First Coat: Use a high-quality brush or roller to apply the first coat of paint. Start from the top and work your way down. Allow it to dry completely. (Pro Tip: Our 8 Piece Deluxe Paint Set has everything you need for a successful paint project)
Second Coat: Apply a second coat for a more even and durable finish. Let it dry thoroughly.

Finishing Touches

Complete your bathroom refresh by adding new accessories, such as towels, shower curtains, and decorative elements that complement your chosen color scheme. Here are some ideas for finishing touches:

Matching Towels and Rugs: Choose towels, bath mats, and rugs that match or complement your paint colors. This adds a cohesive and polished look.
Shower Curtains: Select a shower curtain that enhances your bathroom's aesthetic. Patterns, textures, and colors can all contribute to the overall design.
Decorative Elements: Add wall art, plants, and decorative accessories that reflect your style. Mirrors with stylish frames can also add to the aesthetic while making the space feel larger.

Additional Bathroom Design Tips

To further enhance your bathroom transformation, consider these additional design tips:

Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in the overall ambiance of your bathroom. Here are some lighting tips:

Natural Light: Maximize natural light by keeping windows unobstructed. Use sheer curtains or blinds that allow light to filter through.
Task Lighting: Install task lighting around mirrors to ensure good visibility for grooming tasks. Consider sconces or LED strips.
Ambient Lighting: Use ceiling fixtures or recessed lighting to provide overall illumination. Dimmer switches can help create a relaxing atmosphere.

Storage Solutions

Effective storage can keep your bathroom organized and clutter-free. Here are some storage ideas:

Wall-Mounted Shelves: Utilize wall space with shelves to store toiletries, towels, and decorative items.
Vanity Cabinets: Choose vanities with built-in storage to keep essentials hidden and organized.
Baskets and Bins: Use stylish baskets and bins to corral smaller items and keep them easily accessible.

Seasonal Updates

Make minor updates to keep your bathroom looking fresh and current throughout the year:

Seasonal Decor: Switch out accessories like towels, shower curtains, and decorative items to match the season and keep the space feeling dynamic.
Quick Paint Refreshes: Consider repainting small areas or adding new accents periodically to keep the space feeling fresh.
