It's either that or scaffolding.
Scaffolding: $100 per day.
Scissor Lift $180 per day.
I think the indoor scissor lift would be better for it's maneuverability, but getting it inside could be difficult. The door is wide enough but it has to go over 2 wide steps to get inside and then drop down 1ft. to get to the area to be painted. If the lift isn't too heavy maybe it can be pushed down a couple of 2x12's.
Are the wheels on these things motorized? Can they be driven up and down a couple of steps?
Are these things so heavy that they risk damaging a tiled floor?

They are quite heavy and can damage tile floors. If its a big job( many hours( over 10 man hrs) cover all the floor with plywood . but you got to understand; unless you are used to using a lift you will spend more time "fooling" around getting used to it and setting it up than you will find helpful. Advice from a professional; get the scaffolding

the lift is definately too heavy for residential use... look for a good scaffold system with wheels. I have a set that has adjustable legs up to 12 in. plus it has stairs and can be stacked up to 14 feet high.. sorry i dont know where that type can be rented though..

Scissor lifts are extremely heavy. They do have motorized wheels but are not made to climb. Many have a safety switch that shuts them off when the angle of them is too steep.

Scissor lifts are way to heavy for a home. The price you might pay to have one delivered and rent could pay for a contractor to do the work with less hassle. Good luck.

decorating is heaps fun! hanging curtains is the best way to colour your room, you can also put up picture frames, other interesting wall hangings... in my room as a wall hanging I have a sushi mat, and between the wooden sticks i poke through flowers from the garden, it adds a nice touch, I love it. Just be creative, you'll be really surprised with what you come up with. In fact you could buy some pretty material and nail it to the wall or something.

Scissor lift sound like a huge undertaking. I'd try scaffolding first. Remember to brace it. SAFETY FIRST!
