Interior painting can be a really cheap method to rejuvenate the inside of your property. Painting is often performed as a DIY project, but professional painters and decorators can ensure the best appearance and make sure that your decoration is going to look its best for as long as possible.
You will commonly devote more time to preparing to paint than actually painting. It's important to wash and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings prior to painting, as well as to mask off any areas which should not be painted over like skirting, architrave, power sockets and light switches. Protect household furniture and carpets or flooring in the area with dust sheets to collect any splashes. If you're painting internally, apply a primer coat as a base layer followed by a number of coats of paint, leaving each layer time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can offer you lots of recommendations about paint and help you find the right colour palette for your interior rooms.

✓ Remove all objects as much as you can from the room and cover the remaining furniture or objects with a sheet.
✓ Fill all holes on the surface to make for an even finish.
✓ Wash the wall with the help of a damp sponge. A sugar soap or diluted washing up liquid will work just fine.
✓ Tape the edges of objects you do not wish to paint like light switches, plug sockets and the likes.
• This step can be skipped if painting on an existing paint, but it’ll advisable to dilute small quantity of your selected paint to patch prime the holes that you’ve filled. If you have a large number of holes that was filled, then priming them would be smart.
• Mix or stir the paint thoroughly in a paint kettle to ensure an even and perfect mix.
• Now you’re ready to start painting! Start from the edges to form like a frame to work within with your roller. Once done, leave for about 4 to 6 hours to dry.
• For the second coat, simply repeat the above step to complete your painting project.
