Before you start painting, remove furniture or cover it with plastic sheets to protect it from paint splatters. Use painter’s tape to cover baseboards, trim, and light switches for a neat finish.
Ensure the walls are clean and free of dust, dirt, and grease. Wipe them down with a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution for a smooth application.
Inspect the walls for holes, cracks, or imperfections. Use a high-quality filler to patch them up, then sand the surface once it dries for a seamless finish.
Applying a primer ensures even paint coverage and enhances adhesion. It also helps conceal stains and previous colors, providing a professional-looking result.
Start with a high-quality roller and brush, applying paint in even strokes. Use a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion for full coverage. Apply a second coat if necessary after the first coat dries.
Latex (water-based) paint is the most commonly used type for interior walls because it is easy to clean, dries quickly, and has low VOC emissions.
The best type of paint depends on the room. Flat or matte finishes work well for ceilings and low-traffic areas, while satin or semi-gloss is ideal for high-traffic rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
Semi-gloss or high-gloss paint is recommended for interior doors as it provides durability and easy cleaning while adding a polished look.
Eggshell and satin finishes are the most popular choices for interior walls due to their balance of durability and aesthetic appeal.
Professional painters typically use high-quality latex paints from brands like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr for excellent coverage, durability, and a smooth finish.
