How Do You Paint a Wall From the Ceiling?

Published in Painting Techniques 1 min read

You can paint a neat line where the wall meets the ceiling by using a high-quality angled brush and a steady hand.

Here's how to paint a wall from the ceiling:

  • Choose the Right Brush: A 2-inch angled brush is recommended for creating a precise line.
  • Apply Paint Carefully: Load your brush with paint and apply it to the wall approximately 1/4 inch down from the ceiling.
  • Avoid Overloading the Brush: Once the brush has initial paint, don't reload it each time you make a stroke.

This technique allows you to create a clean, professional-looking edge without getting paint on the ceiling. Practice may be needed to achieve the best results.
