Painting projects can be both exciting and overwhelming. One aspect that can dramatically transform your space is the power of a fresh coat of paint. To help you achieve flawless results, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite painting products! These products will elevate your painting experience and leave your space *fresh*. Let’s dive in!
1. Short Handle Angled Paint Brush
A quality brush is a painter’s best friend, and this Short Handle Angled Brush is no exception. With its angled design, this brush allows for precise control, making it perfect for cutting in edges and corners. The short handle ensures a comfortable grip, making those intricate details a breeze.
2. Cordless Paint Sprayer
For an absolutely flawless finish, a cordless sprayer can be a game-changer. This Cordless Handheld Sprayer, with its powerful and efficient performance, simplifies the painting process and ensures the best possible finish. Its portability ensures that you can tackle any room or exterior with ease (it uses DeWalt batteries!).
Note: This specific sprayer is rather expensive, but here’s a budget-friendly alternative with excellent reviews online!
3. Mini Trim Roller
When it comes to painting tight spaces and corners, a mini trim roller proves to be invaluable. This compact tool allows for controlled application in areas that a regular roller might struggle to reach. It’s perfect for achieving a seamless look in nooks and crannies.
4. Painter’s Tape
Achieving clean and precise lines can be a challenge, but FrogTape’s multi-surface painter’s tape is here to save the day. This high-quality tape features patented PaintBlock technology, which forms a micro-barrier to prevent paint bleed and deliver sharp edges. Whether you’re creating stripes, patterns, or simply protecting baseboards and trim, FrogTape ensures professional-looking results without any fuss. They also have a great delicate surface painter’s tape!
5. Paint Wipes
I’m notorious for not putting down drop cloths before I start painting (I’ll blame that on the ADHD). Mistakes happen, but with these paint cleanup wipes on hand, you can easily deal with any paint spills, smudges or splatters!
6. Handy Paint Cup
Carrying a paint can around can be cumbersome, but this 16oz. paint cup simplifies the process. With its ergonomic design and comfortable handle, it allows for easy maneuvering while providing a convenient place to dip your brush while completing touchups, or trimwork with a brush. You can also get cup liners to make cleanup a breeze!
7. Paint Roller Frame
A sturdy and durable roller frame is the backbone of any successful painting project. The right frame ensures even paint application and smooth rolling. I’ve had this specific roller frame for a few years and I am extremely satisfied with the quality and durability! Having a durable wooden handle makes such a difference, versus the cheaper plastic roller frames.
8. Artist Brush Pack
For the finishing touches and fine details, an artist brush pack is indispensable. These smaller brushes allow for intricate work, making them perfect for touch-ups and adding decorative elements to your painted surfaces.
9. Extension Pole
Save yourself from the hassle of constantly moving a step stool or ladder with an paint roller extension pole. Attachable to paint rollers for reaching high walls or ceilings. This adjustable pole allows you to reach high ceilings and walls effortlessly. It’s a time-saving and safety-enhancing accessory that every painter should have in their toolkit. **Note: most household brooms have screw off heads and broomsticks are usually compatible with paint rollers!
10. Two-Step Stool
While an Extension Pole is ideal for vertical surfaces, a step stool comes in handy for reaching horizontal surfaces or slightly elevated areas- especially while painting along the edges of walls. This is my favorite two-step stool and I use it during almost every project in our home.
Enhancing your home with a fresh coat of paint is a fantastic way to revitalize your space. By utilizing these favorite home improvement painting products, you can achieve remarkable results with ease. Happy painting!
