Prepare the room: Before you begin painting, remove all furniture and decor from the room. Cover floors and any remaining items with drop cl
oths to protect them from paint splatters. Repair any cracks, holes, or other imperfections in the walls.
Clean the walls: Clean the walls with mild detergent and water to remove any dirt or grime. Allow the walls to dry completely before painting.
Fill any holes with putty: Once the holes have been filled, do a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Use a dust cloth or vacuum to remove any dust or debris.
Prime the walls: Apply a coat of primer to the walls to create a smooth base for the paint. This will also help to hide any imperfections in the walls and improve the paint's adhesion.
Paint the walls: After the primer has dried, begin painting the walls with a paint roller or brush. Start by painting the edges of the room first and then work your way in. Use a paint edger or painter's tape to protect baseboards and other areas that you do not want to paint.
Allow the paint to dry: Allow the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for drying time.
Touch-up and clean-up: After the paint has dried, touch up any areas that may need it and remove any painter's tape. Clean up any paint splatters or drips from surfaces and floors.
Reinstall the furniture: Once the paint is dry and the room is cleaned, you can move the furniture back into the room.
Professional tip: Always use high-quality paint and tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
