The 6 Steps to Painting a Bedroom | Interior

What happens here

Determine the optimal order for painting surfaces. For brushing and rolling, the standard approach is to paint ceilings first. Bring the ceiling paint down onto the top of the walls by about 2 to 3 inches. After the ceiling paint has dried, apply two coats of wall paint. Once the walls are dry, proceed with painting the trim if it is part of the project. If you are spraying paint, the trim should always be painted first. The speaker notes that in this specific project, only the walls and an accent wall will be painted, as ceilings and existing trim were recently painted.

Goal: Establish an efficient sequence for painting different surfaces to achieve the best results.
