A fresh coat of paint can make an older home look brand new. It will cover up nicks and scuffs, and can brighten or warm the feel of a room. Giving the interior of your home a facelift, even when you are crunched for time, is as easy as applying a new coat of paint. Here are the fastest methods to paint a room:
Hire a professional. Although costly, professionals will paint your rooms quickly and will do an excellent job. Best of all, no backbreaking work for you!
Frame the room first. Paint the edges of the walls first because these take the most effort and time. Once you get to painting the larger areas of the wall, you will be able to cruise through it.
Only frame rooms for which you are certain you have enough paint. If you frame a room and then find that you do not have enough paint, the new paint you buy may not match exactly. This will cost you in time painting over the mismatched paint.
Consider technology. While a regular paint roller provides faster clean up than a more high-tech device, it takes quite a bit of time to reapply paint, dab off excess and paint over thin spots. Consider using a roller with a reservoir. These new-fangled rollers hold a certain amount of paint in them. The only time you need to stop is to refill, and you won’t have to worry about blotting off excess paint.
Hire unpaid help. These are also known as friends and family. Make food and buy beverages to entice friends and family to pitch in. The more people that help, the quicker the job will be.
