Conquer Your Ceiling: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Flawless Finish



With Dr. Dulux expert tips on how to paint a ceiling, you'll achieve professional-looking results. Follow this comprehensive guide for a smooth and stress-free experience:

1. Preparation is Key:

  • Choose the Right Paint: Opt for a ceiling-specific paint like Dulux Ultra White for a brighter, more spacious feel, or Dulux Magic White Matt for a flawless, even.
  • Gather Your Tools: Assemble a stepladder, drop cloths, paint roller and tray, extension pole, sandpaper, masking tape, and brushes (both emulsion and cutting-in).

2. Get Ready to Paint:

  • Clean the Ceiling: Remove cobwebs and dust with a broom and a damp cloth.
  • Prep the Surface: Fill any holes or cracks with filler, let it dry completely, and sand for a smooth finish.
  • Protect Your Fixtures: Apply masking tape around edges, light fixtures, cornices, and anything else you don't want to get paint on.



3.  Paint Like a Pro:

  • Cut in the Edges: Using a brush, paint a clean line around the edges of the ceiling where the roller won't reach.
  • Roll on the Paint: Starting from a corner or window, work your way to paint the ceiling in sections, overlapping each stroke for even coverage. Use a "W" pattern for optimal results.
  • Apply a Second Coat (If Needed): Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat using the same technique.

4.  Enjoy Your Handiwork:

  • Remove Masking Tape: Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the masking tape.
  • Clean Up: Pack away your tools and drop cloths, and admire your beautifully painted ceiling!
