Now you re ready to add colour. Painting just the cornice a subtle tonal shade that differs to the wall colour can look great too. This means painting the cornices and a section of the ceiling close to the cornices where the roller won t reach. This will make it easier than having to hold a full tin of paint when you re up on the ladder.
Before painting architraves and skirtings use an oil based primer undercoat to allow paint to adhere to timber and varnish. Paint a small section of the wall next to the cornice and test out your cornice colour as well. Typically the cornice colour is also used on the rest of the trim in the room including baseboards wainscoting and window trim. When paining a room don t bother trying to use a paint brush by hand to make those perfect corner lines that never turn out perfect.
Use the paint brush start cutting in the ceiling. Using the same colour on the walls and cornice also adds a simple contemporary feel to a room.
