With that being the case, let's have a look at some tips for bathroom ceiling painting with less mess when you want a better painted bathroom ceiling.

1. Cover The Floor

One thing that you're going to want to do when you're looking to paint your bathroom ceiling with less mess is to make use of some kind of tarp or drop cloth to cover the floor.

Even when you make use of the best kind of paint that doesn't drip, you can expect that some paint will nevertheless drip and if it falls down, make for quite a mess.

Better to cover the floor with a tarp or drop cloth and avoid this issue entirely -- and be sure that it doesn't slide around on the floor as you are walking so you don't accidentally uncover the floor.

2. Clean Before You Start

One of the biggest issues that people will face as far as getting a messy painting project is that they just start right into painting without thinking about how the dust or grime that is on the ceiling will affect their work.

You cannot paint over a dirty surface and expect the paint and primer alone to make your ceiling look good -- on top of the ceiling looking like a dirty ceiling with paint on it, it will make for a bigger mess than cleaning first.

The better thing for you to do is to fully clean the ceiling that you are going to be painting, allow time for the ceiling to dry, and then move onto the next step in the painting process.

3. Make Sure To Use Primer

Speaking of primer, you will want to be sure that you make use of primer prior to applying your first coat of paint when you're trying to get your ceiling painted in a less messy manner.

The good thing about primer is that it gets your paint to go on more smoothly, which is certainly helpful in trying to get paint on your ceiling in a less messy way.

Additionally, the surface of a ceiling that has a primer on it is more adhesive than that of a ceiling with no primer on it, and getting that paint to stay on the ceiling is just as important as getting it on the ceiling in the first place -- which is certainly a good thing in painting.

Once you've applied your coat of primer you should wait for it to fully dry before applying your first coat of paint.

4. Roller For Cleaner Painting

Lastly, you should remember that when you are trying to get your ceiling painted in a manner that is as neat as possible is to make use of a paint roller over a paintbrush.

Though you might think of a paint brush as a more elegant way to apply paint to your ceiling, it is ultimately less efficient and in some ways more messy way to get paint on the ceiling.

By making use of a paint roller, you will efficiently and cleanly get the paint on the ceiling and get it looking its best -- the likely best way to paint the majority of your ceiling.
