house is the representation of the people who make it a home. From the way the rooms are kept to the furniture bought gives a fair idea of not only their taste but also their personality. The most important aspect of the house which catches an outsider&#8217;s eyes is the paint job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Done right, the paintwork of a house will give the house longevity and protection for many years to come. Executed hastily and without thought, and one will have to go through the same process within a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following, we shall cover the planning and the execution of painting a house. This includes choosing the right tools and methods of pre-prepping the walls. We shall also have a look at hiring help vs Do It Yourself (DIY) methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiring_Help_VS_DIY\"><\/span>Hiring Help VS DIY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"512\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-Help-VS-DIY.png\" alt=\"Hiring Help VS DIY\" class=\"wp-image-6840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-Help-VS-DIY.png 512w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-Help-VS-DIY-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hiring-Help-VS-DIY-450x291.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring Help and DIY, whichever method the house owner goes with, are both perfectly effective methods. However, based on what you choose your approach to painting your house will differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before choosing from the two options available to you, one must closely inspect their subject which in this case is the house. This will give you a fair idea whether you need help or can you do it yourself. Following are some of the factors to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_Square_Footage\"><\/span>a) Square Footage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The sheer size of the project that you plan on the undertaking is one of the best ways to decide if external help will be required. Though painting a nursery or dining room is a task that seems reasonable to undertake, painting the entire exterior has its complications. The time to prepare the material for the job itself is going to take a large time. Contemplating the amount of time and effort is cumbersome enough that a DIY approach seems tiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"b_First_Coat_vs_Touch_Up\"><\/span>b) First Coat vs Touch Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The state of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/what-is-the-difference-between-pvc-wall-panels-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paint on the walls<\/a><\/strong> is an important piece of information in this debate. A newly constructed home is in a pristine condition. Unhindered by damage in the past, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/service\/home-interior-designers\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a new home<\/a><\/strong> can be painted on with much ease with little to no prep work. However, a house which has been standing for years has another story. Due to the peeling paint, the entire house will have to be professionally sanded and scraped. This is to ensure that the new paint adheres to the walls without restriction. As this drastically increases the prep work, taking professional help makes more sense in this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"c_In_or_Out\"><\/span>c) In or Out<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Painting the insides of the house are less complicated than painting the exterior. The two factors that make painting outdoors a challenge is the constant exposure to the weather conditions and the difficulty in reaching every part of the house. For a good finish, and one&#8217;s safety, it is advised that exterior paintwork be done by professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Process\"><\/span>The Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Process-1024x682.png\" alt=\"The Process\" class=\"wp-image-6845\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Process-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Process-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Process-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Process-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Process-780x520.png 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Following is a list of steps one must follow to paint a house<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_Plan_your_Look\"><\/span>a) Plan your Look<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Plan-your-Look-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Plan your Look\" class=\"wp-image-6843\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Plan-your-Look-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Plan-your-Look-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Plan-your-Look-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Plan-your-Look-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Plan-your-Look-780x520.png 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Visualizing the final goal of any task is one of the best ways to achieve that goal. This is more so applicable in the case of painting. One must let their imagination run free to decide the colour scheme and their placement in a way that best suits their needs. One can take ideas from online blogs, magazines or direct conversations with a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"b_Choose_colours_after_checking_samples_paint_buying_guide\"><\/span>b)\u00a0 Choose colours after checking samples (paint buying guide)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"602\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-colours-after-checking-samples.png\" alt=\"Choose colours after checking samples\" class=\"wp-image-6837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-colours-after-checking-samples.png 602w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-colours-after-checking-samples-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-colours-after-checking-samples-450x253.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a good colour is a task which requires all your patience. Most of this patience is going to be used when flipping through the innumerable paint sample chips. It is advised to take the biggest paint sample chips the paint stores have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring the sample chips home and see how it looks in the natural light in the house throughout the day for six to seven days. After narrowing down your choices, get paper painted in the finalised paints and move them around the house to have a better perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"c_Check_how_much_paint_youll_need\"><\/span>c)\u00a0 Check how much paint you\u2019ll need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Check-how-much-paint-you\u2019ll-need-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Check how much paint you\u2019ll need\" class=\"wp-image-6835\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Check-how-much-paint-you\u2019ll-need-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Check-how-much-paint-you\u2019ll-need-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Check-how-much-paint-you\u2019ll-need-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Check-how-much-paint-you\u2019ll-need-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Check-how-much-paint-you\u2019ll-need-780x520.png 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard formula to calculate the amount of paint required is one gallon per 400 square feet. However, there are more advanced techniques to calculate the same. There are online calculators which consider the dimensions of doors and windows to give an accurate amount of paint required. Other factors that affect the amount of paint is the previous coat and the texture of the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"d_Choose_the_right_tools\"><\/span>d)\u00a0 Choose the right tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-the-right-tools.png\" alt=\"Choose the right tools\" class=\"wp-image-6838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-the-right-tools.png 602w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-the-right-tools-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Choose-the-right-tools-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a standard list of tools necessary to do a good paint job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Paint<\/li><li>Paintbrushes<\/li><li>Paint Roller<\/li><li>Paint Roller<\/li><li>Extension Pole<\/li><li>Drop Clothes<\/li><li>Putty Knife<\/li><li>Dirty Rags<\/li><li>Sandpaper<\/li><li>Painter\u2019s Tape<\/li><li>Paint Tray<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The above list may need to be altered based on many factors like the type of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"e_Walls_and_room_have_to_be_prepped\"><\/span>e)\u00a0 Walls and room have to be prepped<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"512\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Walls-and-room-have-to-be-prepped.png\" alt=\"Walls and room have to be prepped\" class=\"wp-image-6834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Walls-and-room-have-to-be-prepped.png 512w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Walls-and-room-have-to-be-prepped-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Walls-and-room-have-to-be-prepped-450x294.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepping a room for painting is a very straight forward approach. Remove anything that is in your way and you don\u2019t want to get paint on. If it can&#8217;t be moved, then move it all in the centre and cover them along with the floor with a plastic sheet. Use painters\u2019 tape on all the edges of the room\u2019s corners and base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"f_Paint_is_Mixed\"><\/span>f)\u00a0 Paint is Mixed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zadinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Paint-is-Mixed-1024x687.png\" alt=\"Paint is Mixed\" class=\"wp-image-6842\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><figcaption>Source: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Stir the paint with a flat wooden stick in the beginning and now and then throughout the process.
