Painting a Ceiling Like a Pro
Reading time: 5 minutes
Where do you start when painting a ceiling?
First thing’s first – if you’re decorating a whole room, it’s always best to start with the ceiling and work down. This way you avoid paint splashing on your newly decorated walls, and you can go ahead and paint a couple of coats without worrying about paint drips. It’s also a good idea to put down dust sheets over the floor and any furniture where you’re painting. We can help you to be fully prepared with our decorating checklist.
