Plan your approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by visualising what you\u2019d want the room to look like once completed. And while you\u2019re at it, don\u2019t limit yourself to something as basic as four walls of the same colour. Instead, think accents and arches and how you can make your room do everything from being bold to being subtle and understated. Try and make your room reflect your personality.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Choose your colour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we realise that this isn\u2019t easy. And the million and a half options you can choose from don\u2019t help either. What we suggest is you start by figuring out the general characteristics of the colour you\u2019d like. Is it warm or cool, neutral or saturated? Does it go with the art you have up on your walls? Ask yourself these questions and narrow down your search to a handful of shades. Once that\u2019s done, get samples of those shades so you can see exactly what it\u2019ll look like on your walls. Another thing to keep in mind is to test the shades to see how they look at different times of the day. Remember natural light will play a huge role here.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to skip the whole sampling process? You totally can! We at Aapkapainter are very proud to introduce to you our newly launched \u2018colour consultant service\u2019 where we create renders of your home based on your inputs and help make it easier for you to decide exactly what your home will look like in the new colour of your choice. It doesn\u2019t end there, we also have a chatroom feature that allows you to do all of this real-time. Click <strong><em>&lt;here&gt;<\/em><\/strong> to check it out.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Pick your tools and materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every project is unique and you may need different tools depending on the paint you choose and the condition of your walls, but there are a few must-haves.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Paint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paint roller<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paint roller extension pole<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drop cloths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paintbrushes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paint tray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sandpaper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painter\u2019s tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Putty knife<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painting Tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Determine how much paint you&#8217;ll need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re painting your study or the entire exterior of your house, the general rule of thumb is one gallon per 400 square feet. But that\u2019s just a rough guideline.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are another few things that you should keep in mind. You\u2019ll need additional paint to do a whitewash in case you\u2019re going from a darker shade to a lighter one. However, on the other end of the spectrum, a deep colour base will tend to require more coats of paint as compared to a lighter colour. Lastly, if you\u2019re painting a highly textured surface, buy a little extra. In case you\u2019re wondering how much extra, about 10% should suffice.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Prep the walls and the room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is super important as you don\u2019t want to soil that dressing table that\u2019s been in the family for three generations. So the first step is to clear the room of all furniture. If that isn\u2019t possible, push everything to the centre of the room and cover everything with a plastic sheet or cloth and do the same with the floor.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, grab some tape and firmly apply it to edges of the room corners and base, the door and window casings and use a putty knife if needed. The last thing you want is the paint seeping under the tape. Another thing you could do is remove outlet and light switch covers and apply painters tape to protect outlets and switches from paint drips.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Mix your paint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix your paint well! Best you use a wooden paint stick and re-stir every now and then. If you\u2019re using more than one gallon of paint, combine the cans in a large bucket in case there is a slight variation in colour.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Pick your painting techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So your paint is mixed and roller ready. Before you get started, it\u2019s best you have a strategy in place. Work top-down, starting with the ceiling. Have a bold wall that\u2019s going to be your centrepiece? Well, paint the lighter coloured walls around it first. So even if you do spill some paint on the focal wall, you can always cover it up later. If you&#8217;re covering up dark walls with a brighter hue, plan on three coats: your primer, plus two coats of the new colour to ensure nothing shows through.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We suggest you tackle one wall at a time. Break up the more delicate portions that will require a brush and the larger expanses where a roller can do the job. When using the roller, long strokes in a W pattern is the way to go. Remember coverage is the name of the game when it comes to the roller. Once the wall is dry to the touch, it\u2019s ready for a second coat.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are painting the trim, remove the painter\u2019s tape and wait for the walls to dry, before applying tape to the walls. Start with the trim closest to the ceiling, moving on to door and window frames, and finally the baseboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Ventilation is important&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to keep those windows open and fans switched on!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Clean up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re done with all your coats, don\u2019t sit down just yet. Remove all the painters tape and make sure any spills and splatters are dry before you move them. Clear up all other materials which include the paint, rollers and all other equipment so there\u2019s no scope of anything staining your freshly painted walls.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. Give yourself enough time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of time your project will take entirely depends on the size of your room, how you\u2019re painting, and your skill level. For example, if you\u2019re using a single neutral colour, it will take a lot less time to complete as compared a using a darker shade for your ceiling and trim. A good thing to do is always budget for more time than you think is needed.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Painting a room is a popular and fun exercise for everyone from beginners to veteran renovators alike.
