Kitchen & Bathroom Paint
Choose kitchen and bathroom paint made for rooms with steam, splashes and regular wiping. The range covers kitchen paint in matt finishes and bathroom paint in mid sheen, from Dulux, Johnstone's and Crown, including Dulux Easycare bathroom, Dulux kitchen paint and Crown Easyclean ranges.
White bathroom paint and white kitchen paint are the safest options for a bright, clean look, with a white matt paint helping to hide imperfections on walls. If you prefer colour, soft greens, duck egg, greys and creams are available. Matt kitchen paint tends to suit walls, while a mid sheen helps in bathrooms because it stands up better to moisture and wiping.
Prepare the surface first: clean away grease from kitchen walls, treat any mould and allow the wall to dry. Check the label for coverage and recoat times, and use a primer or mist coat on bare plaster. These paints are for walls and ceilings, so use a suitable paint for woodwork and tiles. Open a window or run an extractor while painting and while the paint dries.

How to choose kitchen and bathroom paint
These rooms need paint that copes with steam, splashes and cleaning.
| Option | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom paint | Bathrooms and en-suites | Resists moisture; most include anti-mould protection |
| Kitchen paint | Kitchen walls near cooking areas | Designed to resist grease and wipe clean |
| Anti-condensation paint | Cold walls prone to condensation | Helps reduce droplets but does not fix ventilation |
| Soft sheen finish | Steamy rooms needing frequent wiping | Easier to clean than flat matt |
| Matt finish versions | A flat look in wet rooms | Check the tin says it is moisture resistant |
Kitchen & Bathroom Paint: frequently asked questions
Which paint suits a steamy bathroom wall?
A paint formulated for bathrooms, usually mid sheen, copes better with condensation. Good ventilation helps any finish last.
Can I use normal emulsion in a kitchen?
You can, but kitchen paints are designed to be wiped clean more easily. Check the label for scrubbable claims.
Do I need to prime before painting?
Prime bare plaster or stained patches, and wash greasy walls first. Previously painted, sound walls often need only a light sanding.
What finish is best for a kitchen?
Matt hides flaws, while mid sheen is easier to clean. Choose according to how much splashing the wall gets.
How much paint do I need for a bathroom?
Multiply wall height by total wall width, subtract doors and windows, and compare with the coverage on the tin. Plan on two coats.
