When we got our 2 BHK painted, the painters started painting the ceiling first, citing the fact that it avoids any drips from messing up the walls later. So the answer to your question, what to paint first in a room is ceiling. The next is painting the walls and finally the trims and other details. This process ensures no paint is wasted unnecessarily and avoids messing up the entire painting process. 

What Do You Paint First In A Room?

The painters explained that starting with ceiling painting is the best option. Imagine you have painted the walls first and then started painting the ceiling. What if the paint drips fall on the walls? It would absolutely ruin the wall painting, so it's better not to take the risk. The same goes for the trim and details. They shouldn’t be painted first because drips or splatters from the ceiling and walls can ruin their fresh finish.

So here is when painting a room what should be painted first and last:

  • Ceiling Comes First: You should always begin with the ceiling painting. Painting it first ensures any drips or splatters won’t ruin freshly painted walls. You should use a roller with an extension pole for even coverage and a brush for edges and corners.

  • Walls are Next: After the ceiling dries, move to the walls. Ensure to start from the top and work downwards for a smooth finish. Focus on cutting in around the edges, then fill in the larger areas with a roller.

  • Trim and Details Last: Paint trims, baseboards, and door/window frames last. These areas are prone to smudging, so tackling them after walls minimises touch-ups. For extra safety, use painter’s tape to protect adjoining surfaces for clean lines.

So best of luck with your house painting. ;)
