These brushes will help you beautifully apply your paint. If you're painting the ceiling of your bathroom or kitchen (both high moisture environments), opt for a paint with a hardy finish. For example, Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion is washable, scuff and stain-proof, and protected against mould. For living room or bedroom paint ideas on the other hand, any finish will be suitable for your ceiling. If you are going to paint the coving a different colour to the ceiling, use painters tape to get a neat straight line. Let the paint dry before adding a second coat (and a third if necessary.) Wait until the paint is completely dry before taking off the tape. Remember to keep windows open and well-ventilated while you’re painting,' says Emma Bestley from YesColours.
