FAQs

What tool is used to paint straight lines?

All you need is some masking tape – simply apply along any edges, skirting boards, or wall fixtures, and paint up to the line. Once removed, you’ll be left with a satisfyingly straight line.

Do you paint walls or skirting first?

Always paint from the top down to avoid splashing any freshly painted surfaces. Walls first, then skirting board.

What to do first when decorating?

Success lies in the preparation: clean surfaces with sugar soap, sand down any imperfections, and fill in any dents. You are then ready to apply wallpaper or your first undercoat of paint.

What room should you paint first?

You should tackle the room which gets the most family foot traffic first, and try to plan it at a quiet time of day. This is usually the living room or the kitchen, which we’d recommend doing before bedrooms or studies.
