Repaint Your Walls Like a Pro

Repainting your walls is one of the easiest ways to refresh a room, but achieving a professional-looking finish takes some planning. Start by selecting the right paint for your space—matte for a modern look, satin for durability, or semi-gloss for areas that need easy cleaning. Before painting, make sure the walls are clean and smooth, using spackle to fill any holes. Apply painter’s tape to edges for clean lines. Use a roller for large areas and a brush for corners and trims. Two coats of paint are usually needed for a smooth, even finish.
