Rental kitchens and bathrooms in Nigeria take the hardest beating: steam, grease, constant wiping, tenant neglect. The best paint for rental kitchens & bathrooms must be mould-resistant, extremely easy to clean and still look decent after 12–24 months of abuse. In 2026 satin & semi-gloss with strong anti-mould additives clearly win.
