What is the easiest and cheapest way to refresh your home and make it feel homier? In most cases, the answer will be to paint it. Painting can be done with very little experience, and it will breathe life into a new room.
To have a good quality job, however, you will also need good quality paint. If you go for the cheapest paint you can find, it will usually show in poor coverage, color variations, and a streaky appearance.
You will need to determine if you should use oil-based or water-based paint. Oil-based paint is more durable, so if you are painting a surface that sees a lot of traffic, this would be a good choice. Oil-based paints should be painted with a brush that has natural bristles, not synthetic.
Latex-based paints have the advantage of a shorter drying time, as well as, being much easier to clean up. When painting with latex, you should use a synthetic paintbrush.
