 6 tips on how to paint your room

Clean walls.
Remove dust, dirt, and grease spots (which can ruin a smooth finish) with water, a little mild dish washing detergent, and a cellulose sponge. Rinse walls with clean water to remove the soap residue.

Tape the trim, window, and door frames.
be sure to use painter's blue tape, which can be applied up to a week ahead. Remove tape immediately after painting, before the wall dries, so you don't peel off any paint with it.

Prime the Walls.
Primer or undercoat is a preparatory coating put on materials before coating. It helps maximize the sheen and coverage of paint and gives the finish coat a more uniform appearance.

Brush where you can't roll.
Brush on paint around trim and in the corners of walls, where your roller can't reach, with a two-inch angled brush. Extend out two to three inches from windows and doors.

Use the W technique.

For efficiency, start in the corner of a wall and roll on a three-by-three-foot W pattern, then fill it in without lifting the roller. Continue in sections until you're finished. Paint one wall at a time.

Paint the trim.
When the walls are completely dry, tape where the trim meets the wall. Paint the door and window frames with a two-inch angled brush.
