While homes around the UK may beg to differ, , you don’t actually have to paint your bathroom Pure Brilliant White. Shocker, we know.
A space dedicated to bathing and beautifying, your bathroom definitely deserves to have its own pop of personality , but clearly, your chosen paint also needs to be moisture-resistant, durable and washable, and ideally suitable for multiple different surfaces.
Enter: Lick Supreme Ultra Flat Matt — a brand new high-performing paint with a velvety matte finish, that’s been formulated to use across multiple different rooms and surfaces in your home. So, you can use one tin for your walls, ceilings, woodwork, and radiators.
As well as high-traffic areas like hallways and kids’ bedrooms, it’s the perfect kind of durable paint to use in your bathroom. Expertly engineered with moisture-resistant technology, it won’t peel or crack after a few too many steamy showers, and it’s also been awarded a Class 1 Scrub Rating, meaning it’ll withstand frequent cleaning without losing any of its colour.
With over 100 different pigment-rich colours to choose from in the Lick Supreme range, you’ve got endless options for totally transforming your powder room. To help you out, these five bathroom paint colours feel seriously chic and on-trend for 2025.

Blue 04 Ultra Flat Matt
Pale blue has long been a top choice for bathrooms, but this slightly more mid-toned shade is great if you’re after a slightly fresher and modern feel. A particularly popular pick in heritage-inspired homes, Blue 04 is perfect for a playful yet peaceful bathroom. Super versatile, pair it with tomato red paint or accessories for a visually contrasting colour combo, or go for a more heritage-inspired look with traditional patterned wallpaper.

Yellow 07 Ultra Flat Matt
As the stand-out shade of 2025, it’s only right that butter yellow gets a spot in this edit. A really retro-inspired hue, this mellow and muted ochre tone is great for colour drenching — but could also be used as an accent alongside a warm and stony neutral like White 05.
Taupe 03 Soho Roc House Ultra Flat Matt
A truly timeless neutral tone that’s so much more interesting than white, Taupe 03 is a warm, red-based taupe that’ll give your walls a fresh plaster feel. Incredibly versatile, pair it with mocha tones and brass hardware for an understated yet chic vibe, or embrace a more feminine aesthetic with dusky pinks and rich aubergine hues.
Green 18 Ultra Flat Matt
If you love the serene and spa-like energy of sage — but still want your bathroom to give off a rather refined and luxurious vibe — look no further than Green 18. Earthy and grounding, this rich and mossy mid-tone isn’t too light or too dark, and works well in bathrooms of all sizes.
Red 01 Ultra Flat Matt
From classic crimsons to bold burgundys, reds are well and truly having their moment. With its warm and welcoming brown undertones, and really cosy and cocooning vibe, this beautiful burnt red tone is a great option for colour drenching — especially in a small bathroom or downstairs WC.
The reviews say it all, with one Lick shopper, Sophia, sharing their review of Red 01: ‘I needed a vibrant but subtle red for my bedroom. I came across Lick and the perfect red. I was in love with colour right from the beginning to opening the tin to the ease of how smooth it glides on to the wall and helps you achieve those clean lines.’
