When you want to change up the color of a room, you may think it is very easy to just paint the wall and turn it into the room you have been waiting for. It may look easy to DIY paint a room. You may have watched shows and read about what to do. But a lot goes into painting the house and it can be very stressful and harder than you might think. Many people start a project and realize it is too much and do not finish it. If you are trying to paint your house, L.W. Winslow Painting Inc. will talk about some painting mistakes to avoid so you do not get overwhelmed.
Be Sure to Gather House Painting Supplies
A very common mistake is forgetting to get all the supplies. You need more than just paint. If you do not get drop cloths, rollers, roller extension poles, paint brushes, stepstools, tape, roller trays, etc. you will be going back to the hardware store multiple times. Now that you have all the stuff you need make sure that you protect your home and even yourself. You want to cover up furniture. Put drop cloths on the floor in case you spill the paint. Tape baseboards and places you don’t want to get painted and want a straight line. Even if you think you are a great painter you can still get paint splatters in places and end up ruining furniture, clothes, and floors.
Choose the Right Paint Colors
When it comes to picking a color you do not want to just go with the color that is on the color swatch. If you think you like the color on the color swatch then you need to make sure you get a small sample of that color and paint a few places in the room you are planning on painting. You also need to consider the different finishes you want. There are different options such as glossy, semi-glossy, or matte. Each of these has different functions. You want to pick the right one for the certain room you are painting. Hiring a professional can help you get the right color and the right finish for the area you are painting.
