How to Paint Your Home’s Interior
Whether you’re selling or you’ve just moved in, a successful paint job involves three steps: planning, preparing, and painting.
Planning to Paint
When you’re planning, you need to choose the right brush and roller covers. According to Sherwin-Williams, there are three types of brushes to consider:
- Natural-bristle brushes made with animal hairs are ideal for applying oil base paints, varnishes, shellac, polyurethane and other oil base finishes.
- Blended nylon/polyester brushes are easy to clean. They’re best with any type of latex paint.
- Polyester brushes are best for latex paints. They hold their shape and help you apply paint evenly.
The roller covers you choose are important, too. Sherwin-Williams says:
- Synthetic covers (nylon, dacron or polyester) are ideal for most latex paints.
- Natural covers (mohair or sheepskin) should be used with oil-based paints.
- Blended covers (polyester/wool blend) combine the extra pickup of wool with polyester for longer life.

Painting
When it’s time to start painting, remember to:
- Remove drapes, all art, area rugs and everything else that could get paint on it
- Open a window or door for ventilation
- Wrap plastic around your light fixtures, and cover things you can’t move with a tarp or masking tape
- Make sure you clean the walls before you begin
