How to Paint a Small Room?
Do you want to give your small room a makeover but are worried that you won’t be able to paint it properly? Well, with just a little know-how and a few tips. To skip all the hassle, you can get a professional painting service instead and make your small room look good as new with no fuss. Here are some tips on how to do it:
Don’t Overlook the Walls
For small rooms, opt for lighter colors. Stronger colors will take up too much space, in addition to making your small room seem bigger than it is. Also, always start from the ceiling, working your way down.
Avoid Too Much Contrast
Too much contrast in your walls will make your small room look smaller than it is. So, choose a few colors in your small room and stick to them. Also, stick to one shade of each color. Too much contrast and too many color schemes can be stressful to the eyes, especially for smaller rooms.
Use an Outline
Outlining your painting will help to guide the eye around the small room. Try to find a way to keep the outline of your room visible so it won’t disappear in the background, which can be achieved with bolder colors that have a similar undertone to your wall color.
Determine wall and ceiling heights
Before you start painting, you have to determine the heights of your ceilings and walls. Measure each one and use the height measurements to calculate how many rollers the professionals will need to use and the number of paint cans that need to be used during the process. You can even get the measurements by standing in different places and taking note of the height of each spot.
Prepare the paintwork area
Before the professionals start painting your walls, they need to prepare the space where they will work. They’ll need to cover surfaces with drop cloths, which will help them protect areas of your home from paint splatters, as well as protect other areas from paint drips, and they’ll also need to arrange their tools and supplies in the area. Once it’s done, they can start painting.
