PROFESSIONAL PAINTING
TIPS
Painting can transform a room from boring and ordinary to
sassy and alive! However, done without the proper care and equipment, it can
also bring a bit of “what in the world happened in here into a room.
If you would prefer to paint your room solo, here are few
simple tips from Drafaster that will
help ensure your project is a successful one:
Same direction: Rollers
offer a more uniform appearance over large surfaces, but many people still
prefer to use a paintbrush on walls. While this look is more desirable to many,
it’s incredibly time consuming, depending on the size of your surface area. If
you choose to go this route, make sure that you’re painting in the same
direction throughout. If you waver from this pattern, it will show in the
finished work.
Proper equipment: Before
you open that first can of paint, make sure you have all of the necessary
equipment and supplies. This list should include paint clothes, tarps, step
ladders, eye protection (for ceiling work), a dampened rag for errant drips,
tape for prepping trim, etc.
Ventilation: When
painting, especially in smaller rooms, you must ensure that there is proper
ventilation. Pregnant women should NOT paint, especially later in the
pregnancy. Paint fumes can be hazardous to your health, plan accordingly.
Lighting: Proper
lighting will help ensure that your project comes out looking the way you want
it to. This is especially important if you are painting with lighter colors or
into the evening in rooms without adequate existing lighting to fully illuminate
all surfaces.
