Factors like humidity and age can wear out the paint on the cabinets in your bathroom. When this happens, they can become eyesores that ruin the room’s look. Let’s discuss some of the common signs that you need to add a fresh coat of paint to your bathroom cabinets.
Flaking or Peeling Paint
Flaking or peeling paint is one of the most common indications that your cabinets need a new paint job. Humidity and moisture from showers and baths harm the paint on the cabinets. Peeling and flaking mean that moisture breached the paint’s surface.
Stains
Discoloration and stains ruin the look of the bathroom cabinets. Scuff marks and other staining make them look old and unappealing. Bring them back to life by covering the stains and scuffs with fresh paint.
Yellowing and Fading
Aging also takes a negative toll on your bathroom cabinets. After so many years, the paint on them can wear thin, fade and yellow, especially if they started out white. Exposure to sunlight can also fade and yellow the paint on your cabinetry.
Scratches and Gouges
After so many years of daily use, the cabinets can develop damage like scratches and gouges. Pets and children can also inflict this type of damage. When you notice scratch marks, dents and gouge marks on the cabinets, cover the damage with fresh paint.
Mold and Mildew Spots
Given the level of moisture and humidity in bathrooms, it is common for cabinets in them to grow spots of mold and mildew. Before you paint the cabinets, deep clean them to remove these spots. Use a mold-resistant paint to improve the appearance and hygiene of your bathroom cabinets.
Mismatched Paint
Uniform paint color makes your bathroom look more appealing. Mismatched colors make it more difficult to decorate that room and could give the wrong impression to your guests. Paint them the same color to make them more aesthetically pleasing.
Outdated Color
If the color on your cabinets is out of style, choose one that is more modern and stylish. An updated color can revamp the look of your bathroom and keep you in step with current decorating trends.
Difficult Maintenance
If you find it challenging to wipe down and keep the cabinets clean, repaint them with a paint that is easier to take care of. Some examples of easier-to-maintain paints include semi-gloss, high-gloss and satin finish. Eggshell and matte paints are also relatively easy to maintain.
Preparing to Sell
If you plan on listing your home for sale, repaint the bathroom cabinets. The new paint makes the bathroom look fresher and newer. It can also become an attractive selling point.
