How to Paint a Bathroom with Oil Based Paint : How to Paint the Cabinet Doors in a Bathroom

Bathroom cabinets provide much needed storage space in most bathrooms. Choosing the right bathroom cabinet can make such a difference to your bathroom design.

Current trends in bathroom cabinets is succinctly summarised in the phrase ‘sleek and simple’. Minimalist bathroom designs call for elegant, stylish and smart bathroom cabinets. One of the most popular finishes these days is stainless steel with stylish mirrored doors.

Space is generally in short supply in most bathrooms so a bathroom cabinet needs to make effective use of the limited space available. This has brought about the availability of bathroom cabinets in a great range of sizes and shapes that will make good use of whatever space is available, no matter how small. You can find compact yet practical corner cabinets through to full length cabinets that can form a striking focal point in any stylish bathroom.

Stainless steel is a very popular, sleek and stylish finish but equally popular these days are the natural wood finishes. Natural Oak, Cherry and Maple can really add warmth to a bathroom.

Many people want a bathroom cabinet that will sit comfortably above their bathroom sink, with a mirrored door that is suitable for shaving. You can find modern bathroom cabinets that come ready fitted with shaver socket and bathroom mirror lights that are the pinnacle of luxury and practicality.

But if you can’t quite afford to replace your bathroom cabinet why not spruce up the one you already have. A couple of coats of paint can really work wonders. But while it may seem like a good idea to paint around the hinges and handles I recommend that you remove them completely and refit them after the paint has dried. Always use a good quality primer after first cleaning and rubbing down the paintwork, then finish with two coats of good quality gloss or eggshell paint that is suitable for humid environments. After refitting your cabinet hinges, doors and handles you’ll have a beautiful, new looking bathroom cabinet.
