    Tips for a gorgeous interior paint job

    Choose the right color

    Picking the right color for your home is the first step when you’re painting your interior.
    Your color choice will depend on the look you’re going for, and you may want to pick a color that complements your furniture.
    Think about the different shades and choose a shade that fits in with your existing color palette. You can even use online tools that allow you to upload a picture of your interior and see how different colors look on it.

    Prep the interior

    With your tools in place, it’s time to prep your interior for the paint job:
  • Move anything you don’t want to get paint on out of the room and cover all your furniture and floor with cloth or canvas.
  • Mast the edges and moldings with painter’s tape. Use the putty knife to seal the tape properly.
  • Remove light switches and power outlets and cover the cavities with masking tape. Your interior is now ready for painting!

    • Painting technique

    Before starting painting, decide how you want to approach the paint job.<.br> We recommend starting from the ceiling and working your way down for a clean and easy paint job. That said, pick a painting technique that suits you, and also be mindful of your brush strokes.
    Once you finish painting, make sure to remove the painter’s tape before the paint dries.

    Our homes are a sanctuary; they make us feel safe and comfortable. We feel a sense of pride when our homes look beautiful and striking, and we do everything we can to maintain that exterior look.

    That said, just like the exterior, the interior of your home also needs some TLC to keep it looking good at all times. A beautiful interior can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home and have a relaxing effect on your mind.

     

    A good paint job every now and then can go a long way in helping you keep your interior looking beautiful and fresh.

    While interior painting can be a little tricky, with the right guidance, you can get that perfect look you’re looking for.

    • Michelle B - Mission Beach, CA

      “Justin has worked on my home, my sister’s, and my next door neighbor’s! We all had a fantastic experience. Best painting company in San Diego”

    • Rebecca B – Pacific Beach, CA

      You can stop searching, Justin at J Brown Painting is your go-to guy for anything house painting, window washing, power washing, stucco patching, and even gutter cleaning. We've used him for literally all of these services! At first, we were concerned because he looks so young. But, within 5 minutes of meeting him, we could tell he knew his stuff. We were impressed that he would work 10 hour days and how tansparent he was with his prices, and didn't try to sell us on stuff we didn't actually need. 10/10, would recommend :)

    • Trish M – La Jolla, CA

      As promised, we're working with J Brown Painting again to paint the exterior of our house. And couldn't be happier. :) Same nice, professional guy doing an exceptional job! It's hard to find a good painter in San Diego. Justin and his team are everything you'd want in a contractor: timely, friendly, dependable, and affordable. And clean! We worked with him to paint the interior of our old home, plus the kitchen cabinets and recently had him clean the windows of our new home. We plan to use him again to paint the inside and exterior of our new home soon too. Highly recommend!

    FAQs

    How often should I paint my interiors?
    We recommend painting your interior at least every three to five years to maintain a fresh look.
    Can I use exterior paint for my interiors?
    You can, but we don't recommend it. Exterior paints have a lot of chemicals that help protect them against the elements and can release VOCs into the air, which can cause several health issues.
    Do ceilings need two coats of paint?
    Generally, no.  Instead of two coats of paint, apply one coat of primer and one coat of paint.
    What should I paint first, the walls or the ceiling?
    Painting the ceiling after the walls could lead to paint splatters on your walls, so it’s better to start with the ceiling.
