If you’re looking for a way to freshen up a room in your house, one of the best ways to do it is to give the walls a makeover.

Painting your home’s interior is a great, low-cost way to bring new energy to a space without having to do a massive re-design. But how do you know which color is right for your space? That depends on what you want to achieve with the color you choose to paint your house.

If you’re ready to give your home the makeover you’ve been dreaming of, check out this simple 5 step painting process.

1. Prepare Your Surface

Start by preparing the room for painting. This means removing all furniture and other items from the room. You will also want to cover the floors with a drop cloth or other type of protective covering.

Remove any cobwebs, dust, or grease. Most people skip this step to save time, it is important to clean the surface you want to paint. Because grime can get stuck in a fresh coat of paint, which can ruin a smooth finish.

2. Pick Your Colors

Decide on the overall color scheme. This can be done by considering the home’s style, the existing colors, and your own personal preference. Read more about color selection tips to help you choose the perfect color for your home.

If you are still unsure, test out a few colors on the wall to see how they look in the light. Once you have your colors selected, it’s time to start painting!

3. Paint Your House

Make sure that you use a paint that is going to be durable and last a long time. Be sure that you apply the paint evenly and smoothly. You don’t want any streaks or brush marks in the paint.

Begin by painting the ceiling, then move on to the walls. For best results, use a paint roller with an extension handle to reach the highest points. When painting the walls, start with a “W” shape and then fill in the empty spaces.

4. Check Your Work

One of the most important aspects of painting your home interior is checking your work as you go. This means taking the time to step back and assess your progress every few minutes or so in order to ensure that you are happy with the results.

It can be easy to get caught up in the moment and overlook small details, so it is important to be mindful of your surroundings. Additionally, checking your work as you go will help to prevent any major mistakes from being made, which can be costly and time-consuming to fix.

5. Other Things to Consider Before Painting Your House Interior

Before you paint your house, it’s important to consider more than just the color of the paint.

Choosing the right tools is as important as choosing quality paint to get the best results.

Ask a Professional for Final Touches

If you’re unsure of what type of paint and tools to use, ask professional painters at your local home improvement store for advice. They can help you choose the right type of paint for your project. By taking all of these factors into consideration, you can be sure to paint your house beautifully and create a cohesive space that you’ll love for years to come.
