How to Paint Clean Edges on Walls?

To get clean corners and perfectly painted edges you can follow the below steps. 

• Start by taping off the area you want to protect, such as the edge of the ceiling or adjacent wall. Make sure that the tape is pressed down firmly to prevent any paint from going under.

• Next, take the existing paint color of the adjacent surface and paint over the edge of the tape where the two surfaces meet. 

• After that, allow the existing paint to dry completely as it helps in preventing any smudging.

• Following that, when the existing paint has dried, you can paint the wall with the new paint up to the edge of the tape.

• Finally, after the new paint has dried, carefully peel off the tape.

And that’s how to get perfectly painted edges. I hope this helps. 

Choosing a bright colour and a good texture won't do justice to your room if you fail to paint your walls properly. Generally, we think about DIY painting when we purchase some paint. But it's not as easy as colouring a nursery drawing book. We need to remind ourselves about the corner wall painting which can be hard to paint if you are not a pro. Even the ceilings should be taken care of while painting a room. Let us understand how to get clean corners when painting in a simple way.

For corner wall painting you will need a steady hand, a brush, drop cloth, or painter's tape. You can use frog tapes at times as well. You should always keep damp rags or paper towels to clean off any splatters or drips immediately.

You should always have a paintbrush to paint the corner for getting an even texture. You can't paint with a roller if you are painting the corner. You will end up splattering the paint. So, the paintbrush is the safest option. After painting the corners with a paintbrush you can definitely use the roller to even up the paint colours on the wall.

To learn how to get a clean edge when painting you should always start with ceiling trim, the walls and then the baseboard trim. If you make any mistake you can correct it once again while painting the walls. In order to paint the edges, you should paint the edge preferably with a brush and then start painting the rest of the wall surface.
