(NC)—Today's bath has been redefined as home spa, the one place in a home where you can retreat to for a reviving pick-me-up. So, when it comes time to give this room a pampering of its own, consider paint and the power of colour. It's a quick, easy and economical way to invigorate the space.
“A splash of paint can be the perfect tonic for toning up a tired bathroom,” suggested Benjamin Moore colour expert Sharon Grech. “Whether it's just a fresh coat of existing colours or a whole new palette, budget-conscious consumers will appreciate the affordability.”
In today's volatile housing market, a bath makeover remains a home renovation that still is a wise investment, increasing a home's value. Often, just a simple paint job can be so transformational that it also can achieve comparable payoffs whether your plans are to stay put or re-sell.
When it comes to bathroom paint, conventional wisdom has always dictated that only a high-gloss finish will do, to avoid telltale water spots and streaks from showing. Now, according to Grech, Benjamin Moore has developed Aura Bath & Spa a matte finish paint that locks out moisture. “It is exceptionally eco-friendly, low-VOC premium performance paint that retains the colour integrity regardless the steamiest conditions and offers a terrific option for consumers.” The new formulation is available in 1,800-plus colours.
With a choice of colours that extensive, deciding which ones to use can be the biggest challenge. “The cool palette of blues, greens and watery hues is, of course, a popular choice for creating a calming and serene setting,” she advised. “Think about using the warmer end of the spectrum—yellows, oranges and pinks—if you want a room that wakes up the senses and is more stimulating and lively.”
