What should I use to protect my carpet from paint drips and stains?

While many people go the cheaper route of protecting their carpet with a disposable sheet of plastic, a better alternative would be to cover your rug with a sheet of canvas. Sure, canvas may cost a little more but plastic can get slippery and messy when you have paint drips and spills. It’s also easy to trip over it when it bunches up during your painting job. Canvas can also stay in place around corners and in tight spaces whereas plastic will simply return to its original form.

What type of brushes should I use for painting my interior walls?

For most rooms in your home, it’s best to invest in a paint roller with an extension pole. Ditch your brushes altogether.  This method is much safer than using a ladder and helps to keep the paint job even over the wall and ceiling surfaces. Choose a metal pole rather than a plastic one. Also, try to find one with a non-slip grip to avoid costly slipping accidents that can be a real headache, especially when dealing with a different paint colour on the ceiling than the walls.

How do I choose a tasteful paint colour for my home or business exterior?

You can choose a great colour for your home or business exterior by considering a few elements about the property and how your paint can contribute to them. For example, if your home contains a great deal of brick that are not painted, look closely to find some of the hues in the brick and consider some of those colours. You might also consider the type of property you have. For example, if it is a Victorian era house, you might choose some colours that were popular in that era to add to the aesthetic appeal of your property.
