Not a paint problem, it's a ventilation problem. We encounter this often and I always suggest some sort of sheen in a bath room.
If you use a flat, not only will you have the moisture running down the walls, but it will leave the finish discolored. Other than adding an exhaust fan, and most helpful would be a high volume fan, you will need to be sure to leave the door ajar slightly to help allow the air to circulate.
To address this moisture issue, it is recommended to consider using a different paint finish for better durability and moisture resistance. Switching from a satin finish to a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish can help create a more water-resistant surface that is easier to clean and less prone to moisture damage. These finishes have a smoother and impermeable surface, making them ideal for high humidity areas like bathrooms.
Additionally, before applying the second coat of paint, it is crucial to properly prep the walls by ensuring they are clean, dry, and free of any existing mildew or mold. Consider using a mold-resistant primer before applying the new coat of paint to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and mold growth.
In terms of color, consider opting for lighter shades as they can help create a more open and airy feel in a small bathroom while also making it easier to spot any mold or mildew growth early on. Light colors can also reflect more light, making the space appear brighter and more spacious.
Furthermore, to improve ventilation in your bathroom, installing an exhaust fan or improving air circulation by keeping windows open or using a dehumidifier after showers can help reduce moisture buildup and minimize the risk of paint damage.
