How to paint skirting boards and furniture and not stain everything around

When it comes to repairing an apartment or updating an interior, I want to improve as much as possible what is, without ruining the existing one. It is important to understand that painting furniture, as well as baseboards, should change only them, and not the entire color of the apartment. In fact, there is nothing easier than using modern devices that protect the home interior from the possibility of stain it with construction dyes.

Neatly painted skirting boards

If we are talking about painting skirting boards, then there is nothing more reliable and convenient than masking tape. Its functionality in this matter can be considered in detail:

1. It has a rubber base that will not allow the paint to penetrate through it, damaging the protected surface.
2. Masking tape is sold in different widths, which makes it more convenient in places where there are large gaps for painting.
3. Relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at any construction supermarket.
4. The sticky side easily lags after use from the paper base (that is, from wallpaper).

There are also people wise by experience who believe that when painting skirting boards you can do with portable protection, such as a wide spatula. That is, putting it to the wallpaper, you can not worry that they get dirty. The advantage of this method is that the spatula is bought only once and remains at home forever, securing the functions of the building element. Scotch, after use, is thrown away and is bought again for the next work.

However, there is one caveat. The fact is that when applying a spatula to the wall, it is necessary to move it as the baseboard is painted and only on one side, that is, from above. It turns out that at first, the baseboard will be painted on top, where there is a chance of contact with the wall and wallpaper, and only then, it will need to be moved on the floor to paint the remaining lower part baseboards. This is a lengthy procedure that requires attention and considerable time. Of course, builders with great experience and finishers recommend painting the skirting board before installing it. In this case, nothing will be dirty.

Furniture painting, without prejudice to the apartment

Painting the furniture in the house is much more difficult, as the furniture is of different sizes, and it is not convenient to paint in all places. In this case, the word "furniture" means a cabinet, that is, cabinets, tables, chests of drawers.

If necessary, apply paint to a small rack, it can simply be placed on spread paper or newspaper. If there is concern that the paint might soak the newspaper, enough paper, replace with oilcloth. There are bulky types of cabinet furniture that cannot be moved, such as a guest wall, a three or four-door wardrobe. In such cases, in the places where the cabinet comes in contact with the wall, it’s also advisable to stick masking tape and lay a plastic surface on the floor.

High-quality furniture renovation will not only improve and update the interior, but also save significant funds that can be spent on rest, after hard work.
