First rule is to choose high quality accessories. Better quality translates to better results, and less work for you. Higher quality accessories can hold more paint, deliver a smoother application and reduce splattering.
There are a variety of sizes available. So think about the size of the job because using the wrong one will be a slow and messy process.
Paint brushes come in sizes 12mm to 100mm and all have different purposes.
for small jobs and touch-up work such as chairs and timber trim
suitable for furniture, small panels, window frames, trellis, mouldings, shutters and downpipes
for small to medium size work such as doors, screens, table tops, railings and cabinets
handy size for outdoor furniture, cupboards, gutters, eaves and doors
for medium to large areas such as fence posts and rails, floor boards, steps, skirtings and fascia&#;s
for all large areas such as walls, floors, ceilings, roofs and fences
There are also brushes designed for specific jobs like cutter brushes, which are ideal for cutting in for feature walls, and door and window frames. The tapered edged tip makes accurate painting easy and a longer handle can help control the stroke and precision of the paint.
A key point to think about is the paint you&#;ll be using. Oil-based paints, primers and varnishes are best with a solid, medium length bristle brush. With Acrylic paints you should choose a long bristle brush, ideally with a synthetic bristle as they will give a smoother finish.
If you&#;re staining rough sawn timber, use a short bristle brush. This works best for making sure the stain gets in all the cracks.
When you&#;re painting a large surface, rollers can make light and quick work. Consideration should be given to the surface and finish required when selecting a roller. Generally, the best rule to apply to most painting jobs is glossier paints and smoother surfaces demand a shorter pile.
Rollers come in 3 different sizes. A short roller is generally 5-8mm thick and is best with glossy paint. It doesn&#;t hold as much paint but it delivers a smoother finish. A medium or all-purpose roller is 8-12mm thick. It can be used with any paint and produces a soft clean finish on smooth and semi smooth surfaces. Medium rollers are most suitable for water based paints on surfaces such as walls and ceilings.
On the other hand, large rollers are 20-32mm thick. They are best used on semi rough to rough surfaces such as brick work or masonry. Large rollers have exceptional paint holding capacity ideal for working into damaged or textured surfaces to ensure you get good coverage. The general rule is that greater the irregularities, longer the pile you need.
The thickness, the material used and the quality of the roller should be taken into consideration when choosing a roller. Roller sleeves are available in a range of materials. Furthermore, different materials should be used with different paints and on different surfaces.

A bucket of paint can transform a dull and boring room into fresh and cozy space. It can enhance a space, highlight an area or heighten a room. It is the cheapest way to style a room in various shades and themes. With the right furnishing and accent in hand, you can completely transform the given space. However, you must know certain things before painting your den. Here are 10 things you need to know before working on any wall painting ideas.
The first thing before starting your painting journey is planning. You should imagine how your room will look after painting is done. You need to understand how your room is built. Is it a perfect square? Or the room looks too small or too wide? So accordingly you can choose color schemes to create an illusion to increase or decrease the size of your walls. You need to also understand if you want to paint all 4 walls with the same color or choose an accent wall and paint it with bold color. You can even plan to create an accent ceiling with bold or subtle hues. Another question you need to ask yourself is for margins. Whether you want to paint margins with the same color as walls or highlight the same with different colors. So once you are able to imagine a complete picture of your room, you can draft the same in a rough sheet for your reference.
Next thing to understand is the quality of light available in your room.
Once you have understood the build of your room, you also need to consider the availability of light in your room before choosing your living or bedroom wall paint. Are you getting sufficient sunlight in your room or you are using artificial light to brighten your room. Also you need to understand the purpose of the room. If you are using a room for entertainment, it should be a small and cozy space but if it is for study or office, it should have sufficient light. After you have understood these nuances, you can choose the color coding for that room.
When you are searching for a color code or scheme, it can be quite overwhelming as there are so many colors and shades available in the market and choosing the right color for your room can be confusing. To resolve this confusion, we need to understand, whether we require a warm or a cool hue or a neutral or saturated shade. We can even choose a bedroom wall paint shade which complements the existing furniture or art. Once you have developed the understanding of which shade you are looking at, you can pick a few shades and get samples.
Many companies such as BMH paints have software where you can upload the image of your room and preview how your wall will look like in those shades which you have picked. They also give you options of different themes you can choose for your room which include the color of your walls, margins and ceiling giving you a better understanding so you can make better decisions.
You should check the entire room scheme and not just the wall. A color can be overpowering on a wall but it looks fantastic when looked as a part of the whole scheme.
Although you can preview your walls in that software, there is still a difference of how the paint will turn out in real life. So best is to test the selected shades of paints on your walls with different lighting conditions. Once the color gets dried, you should check how it looks in day as well as night. This will give you an understanding which color to choose. You should try different colors on the wall and not stick to white, off &#;white or beige. Dark color schemes can add texture and depth to your walls and light shades can open up spaces and make it feel larger. Experiment with the shades till you get the perfect color which you need for your walls.
Once you have made up your mind on the color scheme, it&#;s time to invest in materials. You need to measure your walls and determine the area of your room so you can buy the paint. Once you know the area, you also need to know how many coats of paint you will apply. A well primed wall might require only one coat however; a non primed wall might require two or more. Once you are clear on this, you can easily determine how much paint will be required along with that you can buy other materials in bulk which will help you stay in your budget. You need to buy base paints, primers, brushes, rollers, thinner and other material before you can start painting. You can check and compare prices of different paint dealers and finalize whoever is giving the best quote. You should spend money on proper supplies to get the right paint effect you want for your wall. This includes roller extender, sturdy ladder, high quality brushes and tapes.
Once you have purchased the paint, it&#;s time to prepare your room. You need to empty out your room or at least create enough space to paint your walls without any hassle. You can cover your existing furniture with sheets to avoid any spillage of paint. You can also cover the switch boards and electronic items before you start the process. There are covers available in the market to protect your flooring as well. Once you have done that, you can start scrubbing your walls to remove dirt, dust or oils or debris of paints from last time. This will smooth your walls and will allow the paint to adhere to the wall.
You can also fill the nail holes or cracks which are there in the wall before starting the paint. You need to wash the brushes and rollers too before using them with cold water to remove any fiber or dirt on the brush.
Priming is a very important step in the painting process. It provides a base so paint can easily adhere to the wall. There are two types of primer available in the market &#; white and tinted. Most of the paint companies such as BMH paints suggest buying tinted primers as they are good in covering blemishes from the previous paint or any repair on the wall. Once you have filled the holes and cracks, tinted priming is more essential as it prevents flashing of the spot which was filled when the paint is directly applied on that point. Walls should always be well primed before painting as it gives a smooth effect after the paint is applied. Not only does it give you a good finish, you end up saving on paints as well as you don&#;t have to apply too many coats of paint if the wall is well primed.
A brush can go where a roller cannot. Use a high quality of brush to paint a ceiling or a corner. These are areas where roller cannot reach. You can use the roller after using brush to reduce the marks to smoothen the surface. Brushing the edges and corners is a difficult but important job. The rollers and brushes should be well cleaned before use.
If you have an area in your room which needs to be highlighted, you can use bold colors to paint that wall. Bold colors create depth in the room. Painting one wall with a dark color draws attention to that wall. The wall overpowers other elements in the room and creates a spotlight. Such walls should have a purpose or intent. You can use art work or interesting décor to bring intent to the wall. If you are using a soothing effect in your bedroom, you can choose a blue or a cooler shade. You basically need to understand the purpose and build of your room before you can choose the right color.
The finish is very important on your wall. You can select gloss, satin or egg-shell sheen for your walls. If you have a room where many people are entering, then you need to go for gloss or satin finish, as they are easy to clean whereas matt finishes are difficult to clean but effect is good as you can easily hide imperfections. So rooms with less traffic can go for matt finish.
