How to Paint Your Interior (In A Logical Order)


Painting interior is a economical way to change the look and feel of your home with color. The way Painters in Perth paint your interior can be just as important as the color itself.

Always work in top-down approach when painting, which helps you to see and correct any drips or runs as you go. First paint the ceiling if you’re painting an entire room, then the walls. It’s also better to paint large areas like walls before repainting the trim; because you’ll work more quickly when covering open areas, this can result in roller spatters, overspray and occasional errant brushstrokes.

Painting a dark over a lighter color will likely only require two coats. Painting light over dark is a different story. It achieves smooth effect. The most popular paint gloss is a satin finish which has more shine than eggshell or satin and also cleans better. This finish is a good choice for carpentry, walls, doors and corridors.

How do you properly paint?

1. Clean the walls

Use a towel or a vacuum cleaner for cleaning the walls before Wall Painting. Wash the walls with a solution of approximately three teaspoons of laundry detergent to one gallon of water when painting a bathroom or kitchen.

2. Tape the trim

To mask around windows and woodwork such as baseboard, ceiling moldings and door frames, use painters tape. Quality painters tape leaves a sharper paint line and is easier to remove, especially if left in place too long or in direct sunlight. Run a plastic tool over the edge to fasten it firmly and keep the paint from seeping underneath it when you apply the tape.

3. Pour primer into a tray

If you're painting over a darker color, or on a new drywall priming is compulsory. Paint primer will help to create a better finish for the top coat and keep your paint job looking fresh longer.

4. Roll the primer onto the wall

Cover your hair with a scarf or baseball hat and wear protective eyewear to guard against spatters and drips when painting, especially ceilings.

How many coats of primer need depends on the wall material, the paint color and the type of primer used but one or two will suffice.

5. Paint the trim

Paint the trim closest to the ceiling and work your way down. Paint door and window frames before the baseboards.

Cover the top of the molding with blue masking tape when baseboard paint is dry. Cut in around the window and door trim first, then cut in along the baseboard and at the ceiling or crown molding using a brush or pad.

Do the porch railings after painting the trim, then the stairs and foundation. Paint all the risers but only alternate treads if stairs must be used before they have a chance to dry and then do the rest af ter the first half has dried.
