With a little imagination and effort you can do this job alone. But first, there are some simple things you need to know
- Measure the surface
To know how much paint, you will need measure the area you plan to paint. Based on these measurements sellers will know how much paint you need. When shopping, choose high-quality color and dilute them according to prescribed instructions. Prepare all the color at once, otherwise you may get different shades.

In addition to color, you need smaller and larger rollers, brush for the angles, tape, plaster, spatula and sandpaper. To protect furniture and floors cover it with some old newspapers.
- Protect the space
Before painting it is necessary to carefully move the furniture to the center of the room. Cover it with something to protect it from possible damage. Put the chandeliers in bags wrap them and secure them with tape.
- Fix the damage
To be able to paint the walls, they must be dry and clean, otherwise a staining can appear from the moisture, grease and dust. First of all, you need to peel offthe old paint using sandpaper. If the old paint is not peeling or cracking, it is enough to wash the wall with water with a little detergent and wipe with a cloth soaked in cold water. If the wall is damaged, and there are holes on them, fill them with a smoothing mass. If the damage is bigger, make sure you consult a professional.
- Start from the ceiling
It is important that the buckets and roller are always clean and dry before use. Paint the ceiling first, it will be much easier for you. Before painting the surface preferably coat it with acrylic impregnation in order to create a protective layer and remove surface dust.
If you have started, do not stop in the middle of the job. Paint the entire surface, and then let it dry. When the first layer is completely dry, you can repeat the process if necessary.
Good luck with that.
We all want our homes to look wonderful and fresh without putting much effort in them. But that is not possible. You have to try harder and then get the desired results. Painting a home can be very fun if you do it with the right person.
