Painting Cornices And Walls

Hi there we are also renovating our house and have small rooms as well we opted for painting our ceilings brilliant white 3 walls a neutral color beige cream and one accentuating wall one or two shades darker.

Painting cornices and walls.

Use the paint brush start cutting in the ceiling. Instead try some of t. Paint a small section of the wall next to the cornice and test out your cornice colour as well. Now you re ready to add colour.

The bright white ceilings and cornices make the rooms look a lot larger. Painting just the cornice a subtle tonal shade that differs to the wall colour can look great too. Before painting architraves and skirtings use an oil based primer undercoat to allow paint to adhere to timber and varnish. This will give you an idea of what the room or building exterior will look like after it is painted entirely.

But beware of closing room in. Using the same colour on the walls and cornice also adds a simple contemporary feel to a room. Cornice and walls painted the same colour will make the walls appear taller and the room feel more spacious. Always paint ceilings before walls and start both by cutting in use a brush to paint corners cornices and anywhere a roller can t reach.

Pour some paint into a bucket. This will make it easier than having to hold a full tin of paint when you re up on the ladder.
