Why not look for a patterned paint roller? So that as you put the paint on, it leaves a pattern.

When I was an apprentice I was sent to the stores for all sorts of paint, striped, chequered, tartan etc. etc....

Re: name of paint?

The reason I'm doing it is because the Council ripped out the Bathrooms in the homes here and totally redid them, new bath/shower, new washbasin and toilet. They repainted and papered and new flooring...all looked great untill a few months ago when the ceiling paper started to come down, I called them but was basicilly told....not our problem as it was done over a year ago and it's up to you now. I went in the other day and one of the strips was on the floor with the one next to it hanging on by it's edge. I decided I'd liked the look of the white textured paper that had been up there and decided to try and paint it with paint like that instead of repapering and having it down around my neck again at a later date.
I always open the window and have the extractor on when I shower so I don't think it was the moisture that caused this..Before it was redone there was white paint on the ceiling so the problem didn't arise.

Oh Dear, I bet you were lol. An Apprentice would go through it in those days. My Ex was a Plumber and he had some stories to tell too lol.

Considering the issues your bathroom seems to be having i'd be inclined to go for a special bathroom/kitchen paint like someone's already mentioned
