Interior painting can be an exciting and transformative process, but often, one you’d like to carry out and complete as smoothly and efficiently as possible! That said, did you know that with the right approach and careful consideration, you can even paint a room in your home in just one day? Continue reading to learn about a few things you should keep in mind if you want to paint one of the rooms in your home in a speedy manner.
1. Gather All Necessary Supplies
You’re going to need much more than a few buckets of paint to paint your home; painting requires a few different tools and necessities! You’ll also want to get your hands on the following:
- Painter’s tape, to mark off your walls, edges, and other areas where you don’t want paint.
- Drop clothes made from plastic or canvas to protect your floors and big, immovable objects and furniture.
- Different types of brushes and rollers, depending on the shape and area of the space being painted.
- Plenty of lint-free cloths or paper towels; painting is an inherently messy process!
2. Don’t Skip Prep
Additionally, the day or night before you paint, you should begin readying the room so that you aren’t spending some of the time you’ve set aside to paint worrying about preparations. Move any furniture that’s in the way, remove artwork, outlet and switch covers, and anything else from the walls, and be sure they’re properly cleaned and free of damage before getting started. Don’t skip any of this crucial prep; your paint’s lifespan depends on it!
3. Leave Time for Cleanup
Keep in mind that cleanup is equally important as prep work and painting – and you’ll have quite a lot to do after you finally set down your brush or roller. Be sure that you’re disposing of all trash, including tape, dirty tarps, empty cans, and anything else. You’ll also want to rinse off all of your brushes and rollers before properly storing them. All of this cleanup takes time, so be sure you’re leaving yourself sufficient time at the end of the day to get it all taken care of so you can focus on enjoying your new walls!
