Tips for painting a room

Whether you're moving into a new home or want to breathe new life into an existing space, painting your walls can be one of the easiest ways to give your surroundings a new look.

While it may seem like a challenge at first for some, painting a room is actually an accessible and rewarding activity, especially if you know a few tricks of the trade.

Here are our top 5 tips to get the best results!

1. Take your time to prepare. Before applying the first coat of paint, it is essential to carefully check all surfaces for cracks, holes, dents or other imperfections and remove them with sandpaper and putty. After it is completely dry, clean any residue with a damp cloth.

2. Invest in quality materials. The higher it is, the better the final result will be. Using our kit and our paints will give you better coverage, avoiding wasting time and material.

3. Primer Time! It’s not always essential, but it never hurts. However, if your surface is porous, like new drywall or untreated wood, shiny, stained, or a very different color than your chosen one, primer becomes essential.

4. Start at the top. After you’ve laid out the drop cloth and taped down the trim, use a paintbrush to paint the corners of the ceiling and baseboards. Attach the roller handle to an extension to reach the highest points of the wall, and working from top to bottom, cover any spills and drips before they dry.

5. Be generous. If your roller is sufficiently soaked in paint to ensure an even coat of paint, you are on the right track. Never make the mistake of pressing the roller too hard against the wall!
