Use the Zig-Zag Method to Start With the Walls

Once you've got your paint, space, and brushes in order, let’s talk technique. When it comes to getting the perfect painting finish on your walls, you don't have to be a professional to do it. Just use the zig-zag method! Start at the corner of your wall and use slow, overlapping strokes that mimic a zig-zag or narrow 'W' pattern across the wall's surface. This technique ensures complete coverage with minimal effort.

The slight overlap helps to ensure you don't miss any spots, either! Professional painters swear by this technique, so give it a try next time you pick up a paintbrush – you'll be glad you did!
