Wall paint delimma
Hi everyone, I just found out that my bathroom had eggshell sheen, which is creating the moisture problem in the bathroom. So while I'm at it, I decided to look into repainting the condo since I do find the walls a little too yellow for my taste. However, I can't decide if I should keep the yellow tone and go lighter, or a greyish white, or a white with a little brown undertone. I've seen too many swatches, but don't know which works best to update the overall look + offer best function with most amount of light.Also, do you recommend Satin for bathrooms? I would appreciate any insight you could share, as this is my first time choosing paint and running a diy operation!My living room has a North exposure and bedroom has a good east light. Current paint is Benjamin Moore Monroe bisque, with cloud white trim and ceiling. Bathrooms get no natural light (no windows) and have grey floor tile. I will keep the floor, trim and ceiling the same.

PRO8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoWith northern exposure, it can be tricky to go cool as northern light is already a cool grey-blue light, so i might lean a wink warmer than not. I have a great blog post if you want to learn about paint colours for north facing rooms, it's easier to refer you to that than to type it all out here! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/the-best-most-popular-benjamin-moore-paint-colours-north-facing-northern-exposure-rooms/
As for bathroom sheen, yes, you might find Satin easier to maintain. The flatter the finish is, the more likely the deposits from your water will stay on them!

The north facing room, you want to warm it up. Monroe Bisque is fine.
