Paint at least once in a while. If you have small children or smoke in the house, you need to paint more often than once every six years. Similarly, kitchens need to be painted more often because they get dirty from cooking fumes. A coat of paint will not only make the room smell better, it will also make the walls look airy and bright. Importantly, a coat of paint sterilizes and eliminates dust. It will definitely help you breathe easier. Perhaps you are one of those who decided to rely on yourself and paint yourself. There are so many paints and painting tools available at the store that you may be lost. So before you start painting, do your research to find out what kind of paint is right for your walls. Think of everything as a plan.
Choose the right weather for painting. You must take into account that paint takes time to dry. Sunny and warm days are ideal. Open windows will help the painted walls to dry. Don\’t forget to prepare the primer. This is important to ensure that the paint on the walls adheres well and that the substrate does not peel. If the plaster is in good condition, you only need to dust and apply the primer. However, if you live in an apartment where the walls are uneven and have been painted many times, the old paint needs to be removed. You don\’t want the hassle later on of having the old paint show through. Remove the old paint by wetting the walls and scraping off the old layer. If there are cracks or holes in the wall, clean them up first. Wash away oily stains with soapy water.
How to choose the right color? If you choose a shade based on the color on the lid, expect it to be a little lighter on the wall. To make sure you get the color you like, paint a tiny bit of the wall and see how the shade looks when it dries.
