Paint the Walls for Home Staging Success

There is no easier or cheaper way to redecorate than to paint! Not only can painting a room dramatically change its appearance, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do a good job. All you have to do is follow three simple rules:

1. Clean Those Walls: All artists understand the need for a good surface, and painting a room, though not necessarily an artistic endeavor, is no different. It is best to clean the walls with soap and water and then rinse with clear water. Once the wall is dried completely, you are ready to start!

2. Good Paint is the Best Paint: Although you don’t have to buy the most expensive brand out there, good paint is worth the price. It won’t show brush strokes and you can often get by with a single coat.

3. Start From the Top Down: Start with your ceilings, move to your walls, then to your windows and doors, and last but not least, paint those baseboards. It’s the way the professionals do it!

Once you are done, you will hardly recognize the place!
