Paint A Wall Without Using Painters Tape

Paint A Wall Without Using Painters Tape

Today I’m going to share a very simple trick on how to paint a wall without using painters tape. This tip will seriously save you so much money and time. So how did I discover this tip of painting a room without using painters tape? Years ago I was painting my family room. Before I started my project I used a few rolls of painters tape along the ceiling, the base boards and along the windows. I painted my walls and when I was finished it looked horrible because I had bleed through everywhere! I wasted time and money and in the end my painted room looked like an amateur painted it.

How To Get A Professional Paint Application

One of my biggest secrets of how to paint a wall without using painters tape and getting a professional paint application is using a good angle or sash brush. My favorite sash brush is this purdy brush. This brush will save you lots of time and money. Let me share how I paint a room with this brush.

Paint A Wall Without Using Painters Tape

Cut Out A Room With A Sash Brush

Before I start to use my roller on my walls, I first begin my painting by using my Purdy sash brush. Take your paint brush and dip it into the paint. Remove most of the paint off as you don’t want drips on your wall. As you place your brush on your wall the longer side of the angle brush should be facing your outer wall. Hold your brush at a slight angle down so you won’t get it on your ceiling. Then slowly start moving your paint brush the right. You need to concentrate on applying paint to your wall near your ceiling. This brush will make it easy for you to get your paint on your wall right at the line.  You can see how I’m holding the brush down and I’m only getting paint near the ceiling but not on it. As you get closer to the wall you’ll want to flip the brush over so the angle is near the side wall.

Remember you’re just doing the cut out work using this brush. You don’t want to paint the entire wall with this brush. After you finishing cutting out the top of your wall you can start painting the corners. You don’t have to be as careful. A paint roller can’t get into the corner so you’ll need to paint your corners with this brush. Finally you’ll paint the bottom of your wall using your brush in the same fashion that you did with the top part of your wall. This time making sure not to get paint on your trim. If you’re using this brush you won’t get paint on your trim. The angle of the brush is the key to getting clean and neat paint job.

This is the only photo I have of me painting because I can’t paint and photograph at the same time. I’m talented but not that talented. I added a video tutorial at the bottom of this post to make it easier to understand. I hope you find this helpful. Just curious do you use painters tape or have you used this method?

    You’ve inspired me to shop differently at thrift shops for budget decorating – I’ve mostly looked at furniture, china/glass, art (frames), games/toys & clothes, but never checked out curtains & bedding! Looking forward to the finished room
    For your drapery rod finials, you could try using paint as an update – blue glass paint if you want a glass look, just regular paint if you don’t want a see-through look. Experiment w/ layers of color (blue & some green to mimic the guitar) – because the pink undertone may “muddy” your glass color. Or you could dip in silver or white paint and then use color glaze (or light spray paint from far away) on top. Get your daughter involved — channel your rock-n-roll vibes together and have fun.

    Hi Anne, Can’t wait to see your daughters finished room. Love the blue paint colour. Your daughter has similar interests to my 23 yr old daughter – rock music & Disney!! She has inherited my tastes!! I have just caught up on all my unread emails. I was so sorry to hear about your husband’s tragic accident. It must have been an awful time for you. Sending you a great big hug.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
