Giving your home a fresh coat of paint is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to revamp your space and get a whole new look. That is unless you're doing it all wrong. But, a quality paint job is easy to achieve -- when you prepare the surface correctly and use the right tools and products. We've rounded up the most common painting mistakes that you may be making as well as simple fixes to get your projects done right. 1. Pulling painter's tape up after the paint dries. It's best to rip it off right after you apply, otherwise the dried latex may come up with the adhesive. 2. You scrub your bushes at the end of each day. If you haven't completed your project, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and secure them with a rubber band. The bristles will stay moist and ready to go. 3. You

Painting is a home improvement project that seems made for Autumn. A fresh coat of paint or a new colour scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the Autumn, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn't the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 5C. Paint that freezes won't dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their

There are many factors that go into making your home more appealing, which is especially important if you’re trying to sell it. Most people selling a home need to make some changes to the interior in order to increase the value of the property. That usually involves fixing up the kitchen and bathrooms with fixtures and fittings, important rooms buyers always look at, as well as adding a fresh coat of paint here or there to spruce up the room. What many sellers don't realize is that buyers will often make a decision on a property before even setting foot inside a house, which is why curb appeal is so important.   Fresh coat of paint One way to increase the appeal of your home, and add value in the process, is to use exterior paint in a way that makes your house look a few years younger.

Whether the paint is peeling or you just want to change your home’s look, a fresh coat of paint can make a dramatic difference. Colour can be used to create a mood and evoke an emotional response. Certain colours can energize – think red, orange and yellow – while others can be calming – blues, greens and purples. Neutral colours like white convey simplicity and cleanliness. But before the first brush is dipped into the paint can, make sure to prep the surfaces. On the exterior, peeling or chipped paint needs to be scraped away and bare wood needs to be primed. Inside, walls need to be cleaned and trim taped off. PREPARE THE SURFACE BEFORE PAINTING Take time to caulk all joints, cracks and seams in the surface before painting. Before painting windows, check around the window panes for loose or missing putty. Replace the putty in these areas

A fresh paint a coat can brighten up any home, making it look new. With summer in reach, there’s no reason why we can’t get the ball rolling and get to work. Here are some ideas to spruce up your home! Adding paint is a great way to freshen up an ordinary-looking fireplace and make it the focal point of the room. You can even paint the existing tile around the fireplace if you'd like. To do so, make sure it is sanded, clean and dry. Then, apply a coat of blocking primer, let it sit overnight and then apply two coats of semigloss latex paint. A quick colour change can give an entryway a whole new look, but painting a door isn't exactly the most fun job on your to-do list. If your knobs are a little on the boring side, consider replacing them with these vibrant

If you're looking to paint your porch or railings this summer, here is some advice to get that smooth, glossy white finish. Using and oil based primer is essential. Oil-based primer is better for areas that get a lot of touching and use, such as doors, windows and cabinets. However, water-based primers are fine for areas that get less use or contact, such as crown moldings. And a water-based paint can generally be used over an oil-based primer, but following manufacturer directions is the best course. In other words, read the can! BM Enamel underbody is great to have, but not essential. It does make painting smoother, and is referred to water based primer which raise the wood grains and make it harder to sand in the long run. You can brush or spray the porch or railings, this all depends on how much time you have on

You can give furniture new life with a fresh coat of paint. You can also change the ‘mood’ or ambiance of a room by changing the colour of furniture or adding a new piece of furniture. When deciding what colour you should paint a piece of furniture, one thing to consider is the theme of your room. Also, look at coming up with ideas from your own inspirations. Do you have a favourite colour that you would like to incorporate into a room? Also, your personal tastes, such as do you like colours that match or are part of a particular colour scheme, or do you like a variety of colours? You should first consider your project, what you want to achieve, and find your inspiration for the piece of furniture that you are going to paint.   If you have a piece of furniture that you want to really

Step 1: Purchase the Right Tools When painting a ceiling, be sure to purchase a paint roller with an extension handle. It's much easier and less tiring to paint a ceiling while standing on the floor rather than on a ladder. When painting a textured ceiling, be sure to use a thick-nap roller to ensure that you get full coverage over the bumps and irregularities in the textured surface. For a smooth drywall ceiling, you can use a roller with a smooth or shorter nap. Painting a ceiling may seem overwhelming if you've never done it before. And often it's hard to see what you're doing since you may be putting white paint over existing white paint, but Home-improvement expert James Young shows us some tricks from the pros. Step 2: Prep the Room To prep the room, remove all of the furniture if possible before you begin painting. Use

Choosing paint colours for your kid's bedroom can be challenging, especially with so many different colours and shades available. Older children are likely to want some input on the final choice as well. Most parents are aware how often kids like to change their mind about things they like and dislike. Characters, television shows or even movies that they adore at a certain age may become their biggest pet peeve the next year, or sometimes even less. This can sometimes happen with their favourite colours, too. While it is natural for kids to outgrow things, you may find that repainting their bedroom walls every six months is just not an option. If you're worried that your nine-year-old daughter may hate her carnation pink bedroom walls by the time she's 10, you may opt for a neutral colour palette. The nice thing about neutrals is that you can
