What types of decorating tools do you need for a painting project?

The tools you need for a decorating project can differ based on the job at hand, however to ensure you are fully prepared we recommend you have the following:

  • A variety of paint brushes - this is crucial for various reasons - smaller brushes are perfect for precision and detail. Angled brushes are perfect for achieving perfect lines when you are cutting in. 
  • Rollers and Frames - these will allow you to achieve excellent coverage and complete the job quickly and easily.
  • Filler & Caulk - these are perfect for filling and concealing cracks, allowing you to achieve the perfect finish. 
  • Sand Paper and Prep - prepping surfaces for painting is the perfect way to ensure you achieve your desired look every time. 
  • Decorating Tape - achieve crisp lines and prevent paint bleed everytime with painters tape!
  • Dust Sheets - if you're at risk of damaging furniture, carpets or flooring - you can never go wrong putting a dust sheet down when working on a painting project.
