Using the same angled paint brush, cut in all of the corners and ceiling.
(If you’re not planning to paint the ceiling, apply painters tape to mask off the ceiling first. Scroll below to see our trick to cutting in at the ceiling (especially if applying a different color). You’ll get nice crisp lines every time!)
Apply paint about 2″ wide or about the width of the brush. This will allow space for the roller to get close to the wall without transferring paint onto the adjoining wall.
Also paint a 2″ area around all outlets and light switches.
PRO TIP: The paint surface that has been cut in will need to be rolled while it is still wet. This will help the brushed and rolled areas to blend better and prevent brush strokes.
If painting a large space you may need to work in small sections, cutting in and rolling. For this bedroom we were able to cut in all of the walls and ceiling before we began rolling.
