Now you re ready to add colour.

Painting cornices and walls.

I am presently painting my living room. Then tried taping the cornices paint bled behind the tape and ripped off white paint when removing the tape. The bright white ceilings and cornices make the rooms look a lot larger. Always paint ceilings before walls and start both by cutting in use a brush to paint corners cornices and anywhere a roller can t reach.

This will give you an idea of what the room or building exterior will look like after it is painted entirely. Typically the cornice colour is also used on the rest of the trim in the room including baseboards wainscoting and window trim. Before painting architraves and skirtings use an oil based primer undercoat to allow paint to adhere to timber and varnish. When paining a room don t bother trying to use a paint brush by hand to make those perfect corner lines that never turn out perfect.

This will make it easier than having to hold a full tin of paint when you re up on the ladder. Fail back to square 1. This means painting the cornices and a section of the ceiling close to the cornices where the roller won t reach. Paint a small section of the wall next to the cornice and test out your cornice colour as well.

Use the paint brush start cutting in the ceiling. Cornice and walls painted the same colour will make the walls appear taller and the room feel more spacious. I have painted the walls but am having a problem painting the cornice i had thought of painting the walls and cornice white but decided to return to my original intention to paint the cornice grey to match the woodwork. Using the same colour on the walls and cornice also adds a simple contemporary feel to a room.

Then tried holding a piece of thin cardboard between the wall and the cornice while cutting the edge in same deal. Paint a cornice trim that requires a separate colour from the ceiling before the ceiling is painted. But beware of closing room in. Painting just the cornice a subtle tonal shade that differs to the wall colour can look great too.
