When it comes to painting your house, interior painting is as important as painting the exterior walls. There is no reason you should have to get the interior painting service frequently if it is done right the first time.
Painting a room may seem like an easy task but there’s a lot for you to think about. If you give it enough time or hire a professional interior painting service, you won’t have to spend on repainting your rooms again and again. Let’s look at some tips and advice that you can keep in mind when getting a room painted.
1. Prepare the room well
Any painting work requires a lot of preparation. So the first step is to make sure that your room is ready to get painted. Unlike exterior painting services, when painting a room there is a small risk of damage to your belongings.
Eliminate the risk by removing any furniture that can be moved and anything that is hanging on the walls of the room. Similarly, remove all the switchboards and cover the exposed wiring with protective tape. Make sure you scrub, clean and repair all the walls of the room and prepare them for the paint job.
2. Colors matter
One of the most important decisions you will make while painting a room is selecting the colors. We recommend that you sample a few colors on the walls you want to paint and test those colors at different times of the day.
If you are not able to make up your mind about which colors you should select, go for cooler colours like green, blue and purple for your bedrooms and living room. You can go for warmer colors like red and orange for spaces like the entryway, lobby and dining room. Do remember, whichever colours you select, create a large batch of it so that there is color uniformity throughout your house.
3. Use quality tools
Using quality tools for painting rooms will not only help you get the best out of the paint but also save you time and effort. Using the right rollers, brushes, wall cleaners etc. will make this job a lot easier.
Good paint rollers will help professionals, as well as DIYers, get a great finish to their walls. Other equipment you will need is painter’s tape, a putty knife, sash brush, drop cloth, roller trays, buckets and a ladder.
4. It’s a process, don’t rush
A badly executed paint job will make the entire exercise a waste of time and money. If you think you or the professionals you have hired are taking a lot of time it is probably necessary to ensure that the job is done thoroughly.
Painting a room in haste will only reduce the quality of the paint and you will have to get the room repainted sooner than you had anticipated.
5. Maintenance is key
Once you have completed the paint job, you must pay attention to the maintenance. A good interior or exterior painting contractor would advise you a care routine for the paint they have applied.
For starters, you can wash your walls with a mild detergent if you notice scuffs on your room walls. If there is any paint left after the paint job, store it well so you can use the same for touch-ups.
