Give an Exciting Look to Your Home with DIY Painting Project
Why not give your home a fresh and new appearance without investing so much money? Interior painting is the best way to give a dull-looking home an entirely new and exciting appeal. If you have some time for your home, it is an efficient DIY project. With some understanding and effort, you can easily complete this task and enjoy living in a beautiful home.
First, four things that come to mind when you think about painting your home are preparing, cleaning, priming, and purchasing. Most people are scared of doing the interior painting by themselves because they think that it is not an easy and quick task. You should have proper time and energy to accomplish it.
With the below quick and simple interior painting tips, you can efficiently complete your project:
-
First of all, you should have the awareness of the time and money it will cost. With a single gallon, you can cover an area between 300 to 350 square feet of the walls or ceiling of any room.
-
Plan your paint choice and the touch you want to give to the room. Be patient, as you know that the paint project is not a fast task; it can take longer with the weather conditions. In cold and moist weather, paint takes longer to dry.
-
Use primer by mixing it in the paint, it will improve the color and prevent the stains and bleeding. A good idea is to mix primer in the final coat of paint to get the best final touch.
-
Instead of using a paint tray, go for the bucket. Mix the entire paint in the bucket and use a grid to wipe off excess paint.
-
Before applying paint to the wall, make sure to clean the surface completely. Scrape the old, falling paint, fill the holes, and remove everything from the walls.
-
Cover the furniture and floor with a canvas drop instead of the plastic cover. You do not need to tape the canvas with tape, and it fits best around corners.
-
Use an extension pole for painting, it will save your time and you will get lesser stains.
-
Before applying the second coat of paint on the wall or ceiling, let the first paint dry completely. Otherwise, it will leave marks on the final look of your room.
-
After completing your task of the day, don't forget to pour all the paint back into the original paint can and cover it effectively. Clean all the brushes and wrap the tools you used for painting in plastic.
