Whether it is a new house or an old house, a refresh of the paintwork can give a facelift to the house and especially to review the interior decoration, here are the three steps to follow.
The first step is not the least is to prepare the ground, that is to say start by removing everything that is placed on the wall or on the ceilings. If it is wallpaper, it must be stripped and washed behind. If it's paneling, then you have to tear everything out and take care to remove all the screws in the wall. Finally, if it is paint, it is necessary to ensure that the wall is very smooth, if this is not the case then it is better to sand the surfaces with an electric sander. Once the wall has been roughened, coat the damaged areas and sand when the touch-ups are dry, the surface must be perfectly smooth and ready to receive the new paints.
For interior painting, it is preferable to take water-based paint, washable and above all odorless. It is already more ecological with regard to the environment and above all less odorous than paints with solvents, which makes the application more pleasant and does not leave an odor once the work is finished, it is very important for living spaces, especially bedrooms.
It is obviously necessary to make a choice on the colors of the walls and the ceilings and ideally to think the project with the furniture, so that the rendering is harmonious once finished. It is advisable to better choose the colors to use a color chart, it is a practical tool that can be reused for different types of decoration projects.
The walls are ready, the paints are chosen, all that remains is to delimit the areas of paint and take your roller to apply the successive layers. We always start with an undercoat which will make it possible to standardize the color of the wall and the ceiling so that the two layers of paint are homogeneous and do not leave traces, especially in places where touch-ups of coating have been carried out. /P>
Care must be taken to respect the drying times between each coat and check that no residue is deposited on the paint. Finally, once dry, you can clean everything and put it back in place to be able to appreciate the new decoration.
