This article will focus on water-based paints. This renovation option is suitable for lovers of natural materials and opponents of foam ceiling tiles and walls with wallpaper.Preparation of walls and ceilings for painting. At the beginning of the work, it is necessary to prepare the ceiling and walls for applying paint. To do this, we clean the surfaces from previous materials. If it's wallpaper, then we remove the wallpaper, if it's whitewashed, then we clean the walls from the whitewash and wipe them with a cloth soaked in water with detergent, if it's a tile, then we remove it with a spatula and sand it with sandpaper using a sander.Alignment of walls and ceilings. Special attention should be paid to ceilings made of concrete blocks, where there are seams. In such places, plaster often begins to crumble, and the whole appearance deteriorates. Here it is necessary to use a good building mix for plaster and reinforced mesh, which prevents further collapse of the plaster. The final leveling must be carried out with a light-colored building mix (for example, Rotband finish - for final finishing). After leveling, the surface is cleaned with sandpaper.Priming. Priming walls before painting is different from priming walls before wallpapering. The main difference is that it is necessary to carefully treat the entire surface of the wall and ceiling with a uniform layer, without leaving a single millimeter. Otherwise, the untreated places will spoil the quality of all the work. Another nuance that needs to be taken into account is that before painting, you need to apply a colored primer that is close in color to the color of the paint. Then allow the time specified in the instructions to dry.Painting. Before starting work, you need to dilute the color in the paint in the right amount, enough to paint the entire room in one layer. For the ceiling, you can use a color of the same shade as for the walls, but dilute it in more paint than for the walls. Then the ceiling will remain white, with a slight tint to match the color of the walls. When painting, you need to choose the right direction - it is best to paint starting from the window and moving to the middle of the room and beyond. It's also better to start painting the walls from the window. Then it will be better to see how the ceiling and wall are painted, all the flaws will be easier to see during the work. After the first coat, allow the ceiling and wall to dry, according to the instructions for the paint, and apply a second coat, moving the brush in the same direction. These recommendations are intended for painting with a brush. If you work with a roller, then you can take a different direction. You may also need a spray gun if you decide to make your work easier.Security measures. Especially carefully, you need to paint over places near electrical outlets, junction boxes and switches. Next to electric heaters and gas stoves, you need to use paint with appropriate properties - moisture-resistant and fireproof, it costs a little more, but it will last longer and the painting will turn out to be of better quality.
