How to paint a ceiling
Painting a ceiling can be fun, if you follow systematic approach. Following methodical approach not only saves time but also it ensures that your paint on the ceiling sticks to it for longer period.

Steps for painting
- Starting up with the process, you need to clear the room first by removing all the furniture. If you have relatively fewer furniture then the first step becomes easier for you. In case you do not want to shift the entire furniture then it is better to cover the furniture and even floor with either a plastic sheet or old clothes to prevent paint spots.
- Now moving towards the ceiling, just remove all the fixtures, lights and mirrors from the walls. Therefore, each portion of the ceiling will get equal amount of paint without any hindrance.
- After that use a stepladder with platform and required holders to hold paint and brushes to reach the ceiling.
- You can use instrument like roller, which suits the ceiling painting best unlike sprayers and start painting the wall. However, do not forget to clean the surface of the ceiling by scrubbing it with sand paper for smooth brushing.
- Before actually start painting, just divide the entire length and breadth of your ceiling in to small sections.
- After this, you can finally start painting the ceiling beginning from the corners using a small brush, to ensure that you do not leave even a small spot without paint cover.
- When you continue to paint the ceiling, remember to give it sufficient time to dry up, before you start putting another layer, as this will result in rough surface.
