Painting your home’s interior can be a rewarding DIY project when done correctly. To achieve a professional-quality finish, follow these essential tips for a smooth and durable result.
How to paint an interior like a pro?
1. Prep the room properly
- Move furniture or cover it with drop cloths.
- Tape off trim, outlets, and baseboards to prevent paint from spreading.
- Clean walls thoroughly to remove dust and grease for better adhesion.
2. Choose the right paint and tools
- Select high-quality paint suitable for your space (e.g., matte for low-traffic areas, satin for high-traffic rooms).
- Use premium brushes and rollers to ensure even application.
- Don’t forget a primer if covering dark colors or porous surfaces.
3. Cut in before rolling
- Use a small angled brush to paint along the edges of ceilings, corners, and trim before rolling the main areas.
- Cutting in helps create sharp, clean lines and blends better with rolled sections.
4. Apply paint in thin, even coats
- Overloading your brush or roller leads to drips and streaks.
- Use a “W” or “M” motion when rolling to evenly distribute paint.
- Allow proper drying time between coats to avoid peeling or uneven texture.
5. Ventilate and maintain a controlled environment
- Keep windows open or use fans to speed up drying and reduce paint fumes.
- Avoid painting in extreme humidity or temperature fluctuations to prevent improper drying.
