Renovating any room, including a bathroom, is always expensive. If you don’t have enough savings, but you still want to transform your bathroom, try using tips from professionals.

Thus, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, advises replacing tiles with paint in order to save money.

Paint is the most budget-friendly option for wall finishing that you can find.

When choosing a product, focus not only on the color, but also on its composition and properties.

Water-based paint

Such compositions are usually inexpensive, dry quickly, have no smell and fit perfectly on any surface. But there are also disadvantages - water-based paints are easily covered with dirt and deteriorate due to moisture.

This type of paint is usually used when you need to paint the ceiling.

Acrylic paint

Its composition is represented by water dispersions of acrylic resins. After application to a wall or ceiling, they form a protective film that is resistant to moisture, mechanical impact and other external factors.

Acrylic paint is suitable for painting any surface, including wood, concrete, brick, etc.

Latex paint

Latex paint is made from latex copolymers, with the addition of rubbers. The result is an even more durable and water-resistant composition than acrylic.

This makes latex paint the best option for bathrooms.

By the way, it is also applied to wallpaper for painting and used to create plaster decor.
