DIY Home Painting
Here are tips on how to avoid stress while painting:
Pour paint into a smaller container.
It's more practical to carry around the paint you need in something smaller and lighter than an unwieldy gallon can. You can use a container you have on hand, or buy a small container with a handle at many paint stores. This is particularly helpful when working on a ladder.
Carry a wet cloth
If you drop paint on something, you can quickly wipe it off without having to stop and gather cleaning materials.
Wear an apron
A canvas painting apron or a durable cook's apron with pockets provides storage for all the things you'll want to have around you an extra paintbrush, your phone or that little wet cloth for spills. Over time, the apron becomes a sort of color library of your home, because splashes of paint from each project will inevitably end up on it.
Invest in a good quality brush
If you buy an inexpensive brush, you'll be annoyed at how much time you'll have to spend picking bristles out of your paint job. Ask for a recommendation at your hardware store or paint shop; Wooster brushes are often used by pros. If you're using a water-based paint, clean your brush by wiping it with a newspaper or rag and then soaking in lightly soapy water.
Consider painting trim and ceiling the same color as your walls. If you choose a neutral color for a main room of the house, painting the trim and ceiling the same color can create a unified look. This is especially helpful if you are going for a more modern or contemporary feel. Unifying everything eliminates worry about the lines.
