Replacing the old furniture and redecorating your house does not have to be a huge, tedious project. If you are doing the interior of your home or planning to sell it within a couple of months or years, then all you need is to take a paintbrush, some paint rollers, and an optional tool known as a ‘painter’s tape’.
This article will discuss the top five painting tools that you must have in your toolbox. It will help you to elevate the mood and personality of your decor.
Paint Roller
It is the only mandatory tool you need to paint your walls and ceilings. With a roller, you can paint large surfaces with ease and less time than by using a brush.
Even if you are redecorating your house by yourself, this tool will be helpful for anyone who does not want the hassle of trying to reach up high or applying too much pressure on the brush.
You can even choose a paint sprayer, but it will require more than just the primary five tools you need for painting; you will also need an air compressor to operate it.
Websites like Painterscare can guide you with many more tools and techniques to paint your home.
Paint Brush
According to recent statistics, the global paints and coatings market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3 percent from 2020 to 2027.
You may not need this one if you only do small portions of your interior, like repainting a desk or a nightstand.
But if you are going to paint an entire room, this is a necessary tool because it will make the job faster and more efficient by not switching from a roller to a brush every time you need to reach small areas of your wall. Painting with a brush requires more attention and care than using a roller.
You will also need more paint because you cover smaller surfaces than the roller’s large contact area.
Painter’s Tape
It is an optional tool but helps to ensure that your painting result looks professional and straight enough. You do not have to be a well-versed professional painter to get a flawless finish with good-quality painter’s tape.
The tape will protect the area where you do not wish to paint so that your wall will only have the color of your choice in the end. You can find unique ideas on how to redecorate your home on websites like Painter’s care.
Drop Cloth
It can be helpful if you are repainting a room and do not want any paint drops on the floor; it would create more work for you when you are trying to clean up the mess. A drop cloth is not mandatory, but it will help you keep things clean.
Cleaning Brush or Rags
Last but not least is a cleaning brush. If you are using oil-based paints, then it will be best to clean up right after. With this method, the paint will dry faster, and your walls will not get stained by oil that can seep into tiny cracks in your wall, but this also means that you have to clean the paintbrush faster before it starts drying up.
If you are using water-based paints, this will not be necessary because these kinds of paint are non-toxic and do not leave oil stains on your wall. You can simply spray down your walls with a garden hose or wipe them down with rags that have been soaked in water.
There are other painting tools that you may find helpful, but these five will suffice for a quick redecoration of your home.
