When it’s time to paint the bathroom, we all know that only high-gloss finishes will do, right?

Benjamin Moore is out to bust that myth, with a new matte finish paint that locks out moisture – Aura Bath & Spa. Combining the performance of high-gloss (resistance against streaks and water spots) with the softer look of a matte finish, the new formula leaves us with only one problem – which of the 1,800 paint colours to pick for a home spa makeover?

On hand to help choose your hues is Benjamin Moore’s colour expert, Sharon Grech. “The cool palette of blues, greens and watery hues is, of course, a popular choice for creating a calming and serene setting,” Sharon says. “Think about using the warmer end of the spectrum – yellows, oranges and pinks – if you want a room that wakes up the senses and is more stimulating and lively.”

To show the difference colour can make, Sharon whipped up these options for us to ogle…
