How To Paint A Ceiling?

Ceilings are tedious, but the benefits from a brilliant white ceiling are obvious. Your room will look bigger, fresher but also make the colours of your walls stand out better!

Before you start painting your ceiling you have to prepare. Preparation is key to a good paint job, if you do not fill and sand your ceiling then it might not turn out as expected.

Because your painting the ceiling a bright white, any scuffs or dents will stand out! So be sure to use a good interior filler to get that flat/smooth ceiling look before you start applying paint.

  1. Remove ornaments and accessories from the room
  2. Cover the floor and furniture with dust sheets
  3. Sand and fill any noticeable marks and dents
  4. When dry sand any filler until its flush with the ceiling
  5. Use your fingers and make sure the filler is flush!
  6. Grab your brush and paint the edges of the ceiling
  7. If you are painting the walls then be sure to bring the white paint down the wall by about an inch. This will need to be cut-in with your wall colour when the ceiling paint is dry
  8. Grab your roller and pole and start running out the paint
  9. When you roller, be sure to do it in lanes. Using lanes will make sure you cover the ceiling without missing any spots!
  10. Depending on the brand of ceiling paint 2 or 3 coats might be needed to cover correctly!
  11. Stand back and enjoy your DIY painted ceiling!
