Still lacking courage? Let's keep an eye on the following rules!

Needs: Have a clear picture of how the house is ultimately intended to look. It is better to have accent walls than to paint all four walls of the room in one color. The roof can also be painted in different colors.


Colors like mind: Whether the house will give a warm welcome or a nest of cool peace, it must be decided first. Choose the color accordingly. The color of the furniture in the house, the color of the wall should also be kept in mind. Apply the sample color on the wall and check how it looks in different lights. Only after that the decision to buy the color will be ripe.

Tools: What to paint with depends on the condition of the wall. It's one thing if the walls are damp or cracked, another if they're just plastered. So paint, paint rollers, paint brushes, paint roller extension poles, sandpaper, painter's tape, paint trays, rags, cotton canvas, drop cloths and putty knives must be kept nearby.


How much paint you need: Instead of going to the store again and again, you need to calculate how much paint you need. If calculating this number alone seems difficult, you can use an online paint calculator.

Room preparation: A splash of color can make a hobby sofa or table ring. So before painting the wall, place the furniture in the middle and cover it with plastic or drop cloth. Otherwise everything around will be spoiled by splashing of paint.

Color Mixing: The initial preparation is over, now it's time to get down to business. The first step to coloring is to mix it well. In this case, a wooden stick should be used to mix the color in a plastic bucket. If you want to paint the whole house, you have to mix the colors again and again. So wooden sticks are better. And if you use more than a gallon of paint, it's wise to pour it into a clean bucket. Otherwise, the color may change.

Painting Techniques: Painting a house is actually a technique. The color has to start from the roof. After that you have to go down. It is not advisable to start painting all the walls at once. We have to finish one wall at a time.

Ventilation is important: Keep the room well ventilated while painting. It will dry quickly. At this time, doors and windows should be kept open. Be prepared mentally if painting in rainy or damp weather, it will take longer than usual.

Cleaning: Painter's tape should be removed when cleaning painting tools such as brushes. Oil-based paint requires a lot of wood burning to clean. Soap and water are sufficient for water and latex based paints.

Time: How long it may take to paint depends on a number of factors. The size of the room, how it is painted, all matter. So that also needs to be taken into account. After that, what else - just understand the day and gradually reduce the work!
