Your Ultimate Painting Decorating Toolkit

The Essentials
Every DIY painting project starts with the right
tools. Invest in a set of high-quality synthetic
brushes in various sizes. A 4-6 inch brush is
ideal for large areas, while a 2-3 inch brush is
perfect for trim and edges. A smaller 1-inch
brush is essential for cutting in around corners
and moldings. For smooth, even coverage on walls
and ceilings, a 9-inch medium-pile roller and
tray are must-haves.

Prep Like a Pro - Smooth and Protect
Proper preparation is just as important as the
painting itself. Protect your furniture and
floors from paint splatters with durable,
reusable dust sheets. Before you start painting,
use filler and a putty knife to repair any holes,
cracks, or imperfections on your walls. Once the
filler dries, smooth the surface with sandpaper.
Finally, ensure a clean surface by removing dust
with a dusting brush or vacuum.

Masking Taping - Precision is Key
Achieve those crisp, professional-looking lines
by protecting areas you don't want to paint. Use
low-tack masking tape (also known as painter's
tape) to mask off trim, moldings, windows, and
fixtures. Choose a high-quality tape that adheres
well but removes easily after painting without
damaging your surfaces.
5
Essential Extras - Work Smarter, Not Harder
These handy tools make your painting project
easier and more efficient. A mixing stick ensures
your paint is thoroughly blended before and
during application. A sturdy stepladder provides
safe and comfortable access to high areas. An
extension pole attaches to your roller, allowing
you to paint ceilings and high walls
effortlessly. Consider adding additional rollers
in various sizes to your toolkit for tackling
different surfaces and projects.
