Home painting is a difficult task and can really create stress. However, it will really help you if you prepare yourself a little before starting to paint your house.
The first and foremost consideration while painting your home would be to take care of your furniture and other items. Moving your furniture and other items is one of the best things you could do but if moving your furniture is not possible then placing and stacking your furniture in the center of the room, away from walls can be the only option to maintain your things. You should also cover your furniture items using bed sheets properly to protect damage from dust, paint flakes and wet paints etc!
Taking care of your floor is equally important. You can spread newspapers in layers across the area to prevent the paint stains. Also, if your floors do get stained, you should immediately clean it up using a good quality floor cleaner or wet cotton cloth!
You also need to tape up all of your outlets to avoid clogging. If you aren't painting the ceiling, tape the ceiling along the edges of the wall as well. Make sure that your walls are totally flush if you want to get the best look from the painting services you invest in. You can putty and plaster any small holes to give a smooth look to your wall.
You should also sand little flaws on the wall before they are painted and give them a uniform look. Use a pencil to mark all the blemishes on the walls that need your attention before they are painted.
Keep your windows open in order to prevent paint fumes and smells from settling down into the room. Also, open windows will ensure that paint dries up properly so that you do not scratch it while re-placing the furniture.
Try out these simple steps and prepare yourself before painting your home to avoid last minute panic!!!
