Painting Rooms – Interior House Painting

How to paint a room – The order in which the room gets painted!!
Today we are looking at how to paint a room, in particularly, what gets painted first.

1. Ceilings are first in how to paint a room. The spots off the wet roller when rolling a ceiling end up on your woodwork, frames etc. But fear not, you’re going to have to rub doors, frames, skirtings and the like down anyway ready for painting, so a few spots on your woodwork are not going to matter anyway! (Some people after rolling ceilings come out of the exercise looking like they’ve had a hand full of hundreds and thousands thrown at them For those of you who don’t know what they are, well, you just had to be there).

2. Trims and woodwork are second in how to paint a room. If you’ve prepared your woodwork and rubbed down and filled everything the hard miles so to speak are done. It doesn’t matter when painting and undercoating that you get some paint on your walls. Infact its so much easier to concentrate on getting a good finish on trims when doing them before your walls. You don’t have to worry about cutting in or edging with your brush. All the focus is on getting the clean glossy finish you require. In my opinion your trims are a very important part of the room, they are somewhat of a feature and most often are made to stand out with a contrasting colour. So getting them right is vital.

Most DIY fans tend to use old newspaper to mask off sections of their floors when painting near skirting boards or just over wooden flooring or carpet. This is a very cheap solution to the problem but isn’t the best option. Why? Just because paint is liquid and newspaper won’t stand anything more than a very minor spill. Not only that but it tears so easily and this can lead to paint splashes falling through those tears. The split second you stand on a ladder that has newspaper underneath it the ladder legs will go right through it.

The second room was built in the 1980′s, also 200 square feet. This room has an eighteen foot high ceiling. The doors are reflective of the decade that his room was built in, three panel doors, and six wooden French Doors; the four windows are a true twelve individual pane widow commonly called a six over six or 6/6. This room has a very deep profile colonial trim. The molding is baseboard, chair rail, crown molding, door trim and window trim. Don’t forget this room has six doors and four windows.

If you’re really serious about protecting your floors or carpets then you need to use plastics or tarps that are designed for painting jobs. Using plastic rubbish bags won’t be enough – they also tear really easily so you know what happens then! Tarps and proper plastic covers are also reusable so you’re doing your bit for the environment here too
