Living Room Accent Wall Painting Tips To Learn In Scappoose, OR

In looking to update the look of your living room, one thing that you may want to think about doing is to paint your accent wall -- and yet it can be quite a tricky matter even though it's "just" one wall in your living room.

However, one thing that you should realize is that there are things that you can do to improve your living room accent wall painting project and improve upon it -- make it take less time and perhaps even cost you less money.

With that being the case, let's have a look at some living room accent wall painting tips to learn when you want a well painted living room accent wall.

1. Use The Right Kind Of Paint

In painting your living room accent wall, you are going to need to consider the sort of paint that you are going to use.

After all, if you have people going in and out of the room regularly carrying food items, there's a good chance that the walls will need to periodically need cleaning -- and some paints are going to make that task easier than others.

Specifically, you want to have a look out for glossy paint, which can usually be wiped clean and so easily be made into a cleaner surface.

This contrasts with other more flat paints, which are not just more difficult to clean but often when you try to clean them, you end up removing some of the paint from the walls as well as the stains.

This is why glossy paints are recommended for this kind of painting project.

2. Cover Your Floor By The Wall

When you're thinking about how you are going to paint your accent wall, you may not give too much thought to how you are going to protect your floors, and yet it's quite an important part of the painting process.

After all, you have to remember that if your floors are uncovered and you just go to paint your accent wall, there's a chance that some of the paint that you go to apply to the wall will end up on the floor -- and that's a messy thing indeed to have to clean up.

It's much easier to lay down a tarp or quality drop cloth on the floor and have the paint fall upon that than to take the chance that you will accidentally get paint on the floor.

Be sure that your tarp or drop cloth isn't goin to slide around on the floor as you go from one area of the living room to another as you don't want to uncover the floor by your accent wall.

3. Clean Before Painting

Though there's a perception that if you are going to be painting a wall, that means that you don't have to clean it but that's not the case at all.

Indeed, you are going to want to clean the wall before you start the painting process to get all of the various dirt and grime that has likely accumulated over time just by existing in your living room.

Once you have finished this process you are going to need to wait for time to pass for the wall to dry so that you don't start working with a wet wall, because that would spell disaster for you if you were to start applying primer to a surface like that and cause painting problems later on.

It's better to be safe and be sure that you are working with a fully dry wall than to take the chance and paint or apply primer to a not fully dry surface.
