The paints I'd actually use in a bathroom

Bathrooms are steamy, splashy and often small, so the paint matters more than people think. I want something that copes with the moisture and wipes clean, but is still natural and low odour. These are the ones I reach for.

For walls, Grafclean is my go-to, breathable, washable and available in 120 colours or a clean white. If you want a top-end plant-based white, Auro 524 is lovely.

For woodwork and the busier splash-prone spots, Grafclean Eggshell wipes clean and takes the knocks. And for ceilings, Naturcolor (Nevada) is my value pick, or Earthborn Eco Pro.

Why us? We've run The Greenshop from here in the Cotswolds for over 25 years, and we're fiercely independent, a real shop, not a paint brand pushing its own tins. Every paint I sell I've tested and used in my own home first, because for us this is personal: cleaner indoor air genuinely matters to me. It's why I only stock finishes that are better for you and better for the planet, backed by proper certifications rather than green marketing. More than 500 customers have reviewed us at 4.8 out of 5.

Matt or a little sheen?

Walls and ceilings look calm in a breathable matt. For woodwork and anything that gets touched, step up to eggshell so it wipes clean.

2
Is it a busy or high traffic spot?

If scuffs and splashes are likely, our Grafclean Eggshell wipes clean and shrugs off the everyday knocks.
