How to Paint a Room, Fast and Easy Interior Painting Tips

2. 1. Move the furniture right out of the room (if possible), so that you will have space to work. If this is not possible, move to the center of the room and cover it with tarps. 2. Make sure you cover the ground with tarps as well. You can purchase professional canvas type sheeting at your building supply store, however, old sheets or over-lined blankets will also work well, and even things like old rubber-lined curtains will do a great job. Try to avoid putting those thin plastic sheets on the floor. They are slippery to walk on, and because they are so light, they rarely stay where you put them.

3. 3. Remove or tape all light fixtures and switch and outlet plates.

After the compound dries, sand the patch gently. It is also a good idea to give the entire wall a light sanding as well. This provides a rough surface for the new paint to grab (painters call it a "dent").

4. 5. Wash the walls with Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) and water to clean them and remove any dust remaining on the sanding walls. Give the walls a quick rinse with clean water, and when it dries, you're almost ready to paint. 6. Start painting with the ceiling. You can now get special ceiling paints that go by looking color so you can see where you painted but dry white.

5. 7. Once the ceiling is done, move on to the darker colors on the walls, followed by the lighter colors. Cut or paint around the edges of the walls and trim with your scarf/trimmer brush, make one wall at a time, and then finish the Interior painting with the roller.
