Family Room Accent Wall Painting With Less Mess In Kennett Square, PA
When you’re looking to get a nicer looking family room, you might think that you pretty much either have to paint the whole room or be stuck with the way the walls look until you are ready to do so.
Indeed, you are going to be able to do quite well for yourself and your family room if you even just paint one of the walls of the room — an accent wall that could draw the eye toward it as the best wall in the room as it were.
Even when you have just an accent wall to be painted, there are still things that you should think about as you are painting in order to avoid making a mess during the painting process.
With that being the case, let’s have a look at some tips for family room accent wall painting with less mess when you want a well painted accent wall.
1. Painting More Slowly
One thing that you’re going to want to do when you are looking at getting your your accent wall painted with less of a mess is to paint more slowly.
The thing about the application of paint is that as you try to apply it more quickly, you are more likely to spill or splosh paint that is meant to be applied to your wall.
In painting more slowly, you are going to find that you make fewer painting mistakes in general (and this leads to your project taking less time as you won’t have to correct the mistakes) as well as not having messes to clean should you make them on account of rushing through the painting process.
2. Cleaning Before You Paint
Sometimes you may look at a wall that you are looking to paint to be your room’s accent wall, and think to yourself that the wall will not need to be cleaned prior to being painted — and this is not the case.
Indeed, the only thing you’re going to end up finding yourself facing when you make a mistake like not cleaning your wall before painting it as your accent wall is a wall that looks like a rather unpleasant dirty wall that has had paint applied to it.
By cleaning the surface that you’re going to be painting, you will find that you do not make nearly the same sort of mess as you would if you were to not clean prior to painting.
It’s worth noting that you are going to want to allow time to pass before you move onto the next step in the painting process so that you can get the wall to fully dry.
3. Testing The Floor Covering Before Painting
As you well may know, you are going to do a lot better for yourself if you cover the floor prior to painting the wall that is going to be your accent wall.
However, there is more to protecting your floor near your accent wall other than just covering the floor and then hoping that the floor covering is going to work perfectly.
Indeed, there are some floor coverings that are more prone to slide around on the floor — but this is more to do with the material that makes up the floor and how it interacts with the material of your floor covering.
Before you start painting with your floor covering in place, you are going to want to make sure that your floor covering is going to stay in place as you walk from one part of the room to the other and verify that the flooring does not shift and uncover the floor.
