Picking out paint colors and picking the right brushes to use can be a daunting task for those who have never done it before. The best way to maximize your enjoyment of this process is by simplifying each step and making sure you have the correct tools at your disposal. In this article, we will break down all steps and provide links to what we think are the best tools for painting an interior house.

 Buy paint that you have tested out first. It is a good idea to buy small tester cans of your favorite colors and then test them in the rooms where they will be used before going all out with a gallon or more. This helps avoid unpleasant surprises when it comes time for painting as well as making sure you get exactly what you want from your color choice instead of settling for something less than perfect because it was convenient at the store.

 When buying brushes, make sure to purchase those suited specifically for interior house painting projects as opposed to exterior ones. Interior houses are much larger so proper size tools should be selected accordingly to ease this process up. If needed, we recommend contacting us here at Alpharetta Painting Co. for help.

 White paint is the best choice for covering up mistakes while painting because it can be used to touch up any spots that need correcting without having to repaint an entire room or wall again. It also allows you to maximize your budget by allowing you to use less of your chosen color since white will brighten and enhance its tone substantially when mixed with other colors in small doses.

 If possible, take advantage of painter’s tape instead of using a brush whenever dealing with corners so as not to reduce the amount of time spent cleaning brushes afterward which takes away from prep work needed beforehand. You should purchase high-quality blue painter’s tape and apply it properly over door jambs and windowsills if there is even one smudge on them after painting.

 When it comes to painting ceilings, we recommend using a brush and roller combo because the bristles of each allow you to apply enough pressure without leaving marks or smudges behind that would need repainting later on. This saves time and money in the long run as no one wants to pay for extra labor just because something wasn’t done properly at first.

 Cleaning your brushes after use is another thing not discussed often when doing interior house painting projects but one should always make sure they do so before putting them away as well as making sure all excess paint has been removed from said tools prior to their next use too keep future jobs running smoothly with minimal mistakes along the way due to unclean equipment! The best way we have found to clean our brushes is by dipping them in a small bucket containing a gallon of water and a splash of dish soap. This will make sure they are clean enough for the next time you need to use them too without having to go through everything twice.

 When painting trim, we recommend using either roller or even better yet – tapered-based paintbrushes as opposed to standard flat ones which can leave marks on door jambs and such where it meets its baseboard if handled incorrectly during application! We hope this article has given everyone some more insight into how interior house painting projects work best so that you don’t end up wasting money on extra supplies like taping paper due to not knowing what stepping stones would be ahead before beginning said job.
