7 Tips for Adding Value To Your Home with Paint
  • You dont need to worry much even if it is for
    your first times. These home painting tips are
    going to help you.

2
Learn About Paint Finishes
  • Are all paints same? Of course not! These are
    available in a wide variety of finishes, such as
    flat, satin, gloss, eggshell, high gloss, and so
    on. While each have its own purpose, you need to
    understand a little about these to make a right
    selection. For instance, if you need to something
    doesnt have any shine flat paint can be a good
    choice. Based on what youre going to paint, you
    will pick the paint finish.

3
Try Free Paint Chips
  • There are number of stores offering paint chips
    and samples free of cost. Why dont take them and
    try your hands on the same? You can pick all your
    favorite colors and place them with furniture, or
    anything else which you want it to match with.
    Having these samples will let you have the best
    selection done.

4
Go for Sample Colors
  • Once you have narrowed down your few favorite
    colors, go back to the store and get a couple of
    small sample tubes and try painting them on your
    wall. Make sure you do it on fairly large
    sections to have a better insight. Here you need
    to understand that you cannot make a hurried
    decision. Reason being, you need to look how
    colors appear at different times of the day.

5
Do the Prep
  • Again there are a ton of tips and tricks to start
    with preparations. First and foremost, you need
    to spend some time taping everything off. This is
    important to ensure that you dont have any old
    paint left on the walls before you start with
    repainting. So, be careful and pick a good
    quality tape. Actually, cheap tape doesnt stick
    nicely and causes paint to leak through
    underneath.

6
Choose High Quality Paint
  • Even if these sounds like the opposite of saving
    money, you must not compromise with quality at
    any cost. It might be tempting to save a buck,
    but in long term it will not be any worth. You
    might end up using a ton of paint, and end up
    with bad finishing. Hence, it is essential to
    invest in top notch quality paint and enjoy great
    painting services for longer duration.

7
Paint With Technique
  • You can start painting from the highest area, and
    gradually move to the lowest point. To begin
    with, you can choose painting the ceiling or top
    of the wall, working all the way down. Doing so,
    you will be able to avoid any drips or splatters.
    Plus, you wont ruin your beautiful freshly
    painted wall.

8
Paint Trim Last
  • It is commonly found that when you are rolling
    the paint on the walls, it splatters all over. In
    fact, there are good possibilities of getting it
    on the trim. Even if you are using a tape, it can
    splatter or drip. So, when you are done with the
    painting stuff you can use a small brush and
    paint the trim in the end.

With these tips you are good to go for painting
your abode. Even if you are trying it yourself,
it is advised to consult a professional
contractor.
