What should the process of living room painting be?
Because living room painting can be such a daunting task, we have collated some helpful tips on how to go about the project:
- Deciding on the best paint colour: There are a multitude of shades and colours to choose from when it comes to painting your living room. Consider selecting the colour that complements your personality.
Do you prefer a plain color or do you want to introduce some fun elements such as using stripes, edging and other decorations? This task can be difficult so take your time and think thoroughly on the color you want so that you will not regret your choice in the end.
Assess the lighting as well, as it can be a huge factor. Test different shades from the lighter tones to darker ones before finally deciding for the final colour for your living room painting.
- Prepping the walls: After you have decided on the colour and paint to use, prepping the walls is the next step. This includes the cleaning process of the walls. To achieve smooth and clear walls, remove your wallpapers or any other sticky materials used on the wall.
Ensure to scrape off any flaking paint to achieve a completely clean look. If you find any holes, make sure to cover them. Don’t forget to clear up dirt, dust and any greasy spots as well.
- You will need to tape the trim, including the door frames and windows as well. This step is often neglected because of the time and effort it requires. When doing this step, ensure you are using blue painter tape.
Take note of the moment you’ll need to detach it from the wall. It should be done right after you are done painting, just before the wall completely dries up. This is to ensure the tape doesn’t peel the paint off.
- Before you start painting, move the furniture, accessories, rugs and all other items you have in the living room.
- It is crucial to prime the walls before painting: Unprimed walls will absorb a lot of paint, needing several coats to create the desired look. Oftentimes, a second or third coat of paint is needed to achieve the perfect colour you had in mind.
- Collect all the essential tools for the task: This includes the rollers, brushes, cloths, ladders, paint trays and all the other materials needed.
- Remember to place down drop cloths: No matter how hard you try, mistakes may happen. Even skilled living room painters make mistakes. Keep your floors safe from paint marks in case the paint accidentally spills..

How do I paint the walls in my living room?
Follow these few easy steps in painting your living room walls:
- Start with the edges:
- It is wise to use a small paint container when cutting in as it is not heavy to carry around.
- Use a brush when you feather out the edges.
- Carry on to the ceiling:
- Begin cutting in along the lines then change to the roller.
- Next step are the walls:
- Paint one wall at a time by cutting in then change to the roller.
- Use the roller in painting the walls and ceilings.
- Dip to get a little paint and then roll on the grid to even it out.
- You can roll it in a zig-zag pattern.
- Overlay your lines.
- Painting the trim is next in line:
- Wait for the walls to completely dry up before starting this step.
- The blue painter’s tape will be handy during this task. Use a brush.
