Do I need a 'dedicated bathroom paint'?

When people think of needing a dedicated bathroom paint, what they really mean is needing a paint that is easier to clean, as your standard flat matt will pick up more grime than a higher sheen finish, as the higher sheen will allow for easier cleaning of the paint. 

For instance the Auro Natural wall paint 555 is perfectly good matt flat emulsion, but you may find the  Graphenstone Grafclean Eggshell is probably the best all round (due to wipeability) choice and cheaper than the Auro eggshell 517. The same eggshell, whether the Auro or Graphenstone will be perfect for all wood trim too. View paints by room.

However the Auro 555 is perfectly fine in reality! It's just a flat matt, so will pick up dirt more quickly. So in summary it's more to do with the washability and sheen than the 'type' of paint, the same applies when looking for a kitchen paint. 

For a standard wipeable matt finish: Auro 555 Emulsion or Graphenstone Grafclean Matt
For an eggshell finish: (Easier to clean) Grafclean Eggshell 
For all wood and trim: Grafclean Eggshell or Auro 517 Eggshell
