Your bathroom should be a space of comfort and relaxation. If your walls are peeling, stained, or simply outdated, a fresh coat of paint can make all the difference. At Chileen Painting, we specialize in painting older homes across the Twin Cities, helping homeowners refresh and protect their interiors while preserving the charm of historic Minneapolis architecture.

The Benefits of Painting Your Bathroom

 

A professionally painted bathroom offers more than just a new look. It enhances your home's value, protects against moisture damage, and allows you to express your personal style. If you live in a classic Minneapolis home, updating your bathroom with fresh paint can make it feel brand new while maintaining its historic character.

​

1. Refresh and Update Your Space

Over time, bathroom walls can become dull, discolored, or outdated. A fresh coat of paint instantly brightens the space, making it feel cleaner and more modern. If your home features classic styles like Queen Anne or Craftsman, we can help you choose colors that complement the original design while giving it a contemporary update.

​

2. Protect Your Walls from Moisture

Minneapolis homes, especially older ones, often experience high humidity and moisture buildup in bathrooms. This can lead to peeling paint, mildew growth, and even water damage. Our expert painters use high-quality, moisture-resistant paints that shield your walls from these common issues, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish.

​

3. Increase Your Home's Value

If you're considering selling your home, a newly painted bathroom can make a great impression on buyers. In neighborhoods like Powderhorn, Uptown, and Linden Hills, historic homes are in high demand, and small upgrades like fresh paint can add significant appeal. A well-maintained bathroom suggests a well-cared-for home, potentially increasing its market value.

​

4. Customize Your Bathroom’s Look

Your bathroom should reflect your personal style. Whether you want a crisp white for a clean, modern look or a soft blue for a spa-like retreat, we offer a variety of color options and finishes to match your vision. We can also recommend period-appropriate colors for homes in historic districts like Lowry Hill and Kenwood.

Signs It’s Time to Repaint Your Bathroom

 

Not sure if your bathroom needs a new paint job? Look out for these common signs:

• Peeling or Cracking Paint – Moisture and steam can cause the paint to bubble and chip over time.

• Mold or Mildew Growth – Persistent dampness can lead to unsightly stains and potential health hazards.

• Fading or Discoloration – Sunlight, humidity, and cleaning products can cause uneven color and dullness.

• Stains and Water Damage – Water splashes, soap scum, and hard water stains can leave permanent marks.

• Outdated Color – If your bathroom feels stuck in the past, a new color can bring it up to date.

• Chalky or Rough Texture – Deteriorating paint may feel powdery or rough to the touch.

• Visible Scuffs and Scratches – Frequent use can leave your bathroom looking worn and tired.

• Dull or Lifeless Appearance – A new coat of paint can instantly revive the space, making it more inviting.
