I am re-decorating my house.....?

Question

I'm going to start with painting the bathroom. Im going to paint the ceiling and trim white, and the walls, a light green color...my question is, do i paint the walls first, the ceiling or the trim?

Answer 1

You usually start at the top and work your way down. This way you don't drip onto whats already been painted. In this case I would start with the ceiling, then paint the walls, then paint the trim. Make sure you tape off everything with painters tape. The people at your paint store will be able to give you more pointers if you've never done this kind of thing before.

Answer 2

First the ceiling as it tends to spatter. Then the trim, then the walls. A lot of folks will tell you to paint the trim last ( I used to do it this way, too) but it's actually easier to do the walls last since it's easier to paint a single plane (the walls) than it is to paint a multiplaned surface. Therefore. Painting the walls last saves a lot of touch up.

Answer 3

The ceiling first so that if it drips from the ceiling and gets on the walls you won't have to retouch up the walls if you already painted them

Answer 4

its best to begin at the ceiling then trims then walls, that wall you wont be droplets spoil the walls

Answer 5

walls, then ceiling, then trim
