What happens here
The direction of light is a primary factor in the visibility of ceiling imperfections. As a general rule of thumb, you should always roll or spray against the strongest light coming into the room. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, if a room has south-facing windows, the dominant light will come from that direction, so you should paint perpendicular to those windows. If a room has no windows, prioritize painting against the entrance to the room, as this will be the direction from which most observers view the ceiling. Lap marks are essentially shadows cast by slight ridges or high points in the paint, so painting against the light helps obscure these shadows.
Goal: Always roll or spray the ceiling against the primary natural light source to minimize the visibility of lap marks and other imperfections.
