Interior painting can be an extremely economical technique to reinvigorate the interior of your house. Painting is often completed as a DIY job, but qualified painters and decorators can ensure a perfect finish and guarantee that your decoration will look its best for as long as possible.
You will usually spend longer getting ready to paint than actually painting. It's essential to clean and prepare all wall surfaces and ceilings before painting, and to mask off any areas which should not be painted over such as skirting, architrave, electrical sockets and light switches. Cover up furniture and carpets or flooring in the area with dust sheets to catch any drops. If you're painting internally, use a primer coat as a base then several layers of paint, leaving each coat time to dry in between.
Interior painters and decorators can offer you plenty of advice about paint and help you choose the ideal colour scheme for your interior spaces.

When you have the right size of nap controller as well as the appropriate length of an extension pole, painting over your head will be a lot easier. Here’s how to paint a ceiling.
✓ Prepare the room. This include removing as many furniture and objects from the room as possible while also laying down plastic sheets on the remaining ones. And also cover the floor with paper or canvas drop cloths.
✓ Remove obstructions. Detach or remove everything that can make your work harder like light fixtures or smoke detectors.
✓ Protect surfaces. This includes protecting vertical surfaces like the windows and doors from ceiling paint.
