Bedroom Wall Painting Tips To Master In Kennett Square, PA

When you think that you know the kind of look your bedroom is going to have, what do you have in mind — and are you thinking about the walls and the color of the walls when you are making this consideration?

If this is at all the case, it’s well worth it to know some basic bedroom wall painting tips that will help you to make your bedroom walls look so much nicer than they presently do — in less time and ideally for less money!

As we are considering this, let’s have a look at some bedroom wall painting tips to master for when you really want to have well painted bedroom walls.

1. Primer Before Paint

One thing that you are going to want to make sure to do when you are considering how to best get your bedroom walls painted is the use of primer before you apply the first coat of paint.

Primer does a number of things to your wall surface, among them getting the surface to be more smooth and also adhesive to better accept the paint that you are going to be applying subsequently.

By making use of primer prior to your paint, you ensure not only that the application goes well but that the paint will stay on longer, letting you enjoy that paint work for a longer period of time.

2. Choose A Good Color

Though this is fundamentally your bedroom and so you have the final say on what you are going to have on your walls, color wise, you may want to think carefully about the color and how it is going to affect your sleep or lack of sleep therein.

There are some colors that are more beneficial to sleeping well at night and others that lead to restless nights, according to color psychology — and of course this does not affect everyone equally, but it still is a good idea to look into it.

You may want to get some good paint samples to see how you feel about the colors as they lay actually on your wall in different lighting conditions rather than allowing some printed pieces of paper in the store dictate the look of your bedroom.

3. ‘Cut In’ And Then Use A Paint Roller

When you are looking to paint your bedroom wall you might imagine that you are just going to take your paint roller and apply the primer and paint all over using just that, but that’s not the case.

Indeed, the paint roller may be good for most of the wall but for the corners and areas near to the floor and ceiling you are going to have a better time making use of a paintbrush.

What you will be doing is ‘cutting in’ meaning applying the primer and paint by hand and then allowing the space for where the paint roller will subsequently be applying the primer and then the paint.

Make sure that you are using the paint roller while the paint from cutting in is still wet enough that it will be one lovely seamless application of paint.

4. Take Breaks

To take breaks while you are painting your bedroom walls is not only good as far as your physical ability to continue doing so, but a necessary part of the painting process.

There are times during your painting that you are just going to have to take a break to allow surfaces to fully dry and to continue and these are perfect opportunities to allow yourself to physically rejuvenate as well.

Going non-stop for many hours is a way to get yourself injured and that is just bad for your painting project in the long term.
