Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the hardest working rooms in your home and a great way to give them a bold new look is with a fresh coat of paint.

The recommended paint to use is kitchen and bath paint which is engineered to protect surfaces regularly exposed to high humidity and condensation. The 100% acrylic formulation contains a preservative that blocks the growth of mildew and has superior washing and scrubbing properties allowing easy removal of grime without the paint rubbing off or discolouring.

Kitchens and bathrooms can be painted the same way as any other room except more attention should be made to ensure the wall surface is clean. Kitchen walls, in particular, will need to be de-greased with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) prior to painting, even if they look clean.
