LET’S DECORATE
Get the perfect finish when you decorate your home, with these helpful tips from Harris Brushes
Many people have taken a crack at decorating and been disappointed by the results. But taking care to prepare the walls properly, as well as using the right decorating tools, will help achieve a great finish.
Preparation is key
Filling, sanding and cleaning walls are tasks that are often ignored or rushed, but good preparation is an essential part of getting the perfect finish. It’s surprising how much battering our walls have to put up with over time — from hanging pictures, to moving furniture or swinging doors too wide. Taking care to remedy these imperfections by fixing cracks, holes and dents before picking up a paint brush is worth the time and effort and will significantly improve the end result. You’ll find great ‘how to’ tips on perfect preparation at www.harrisbrushes.com/how-to/.
Buy good quality painting tools
Spending on the paint, but not the tools is a simple mistake to make but one many homeowners get caught out by. Cheap rollers frequently leave streaks while loose brush bristles are infamously irritating.
Choose Harris brushes with Harris NO LOSS® Technology to avoid loose bristles and combine Harris’ Ultimate Blade Brush Technology for cutting in for a neat and precise finish with Harris Ultimate Powercoat rollers for quick painting and excellent coverage. Quality brushes and rollers like these make the entire process quicker and more enjoyable.
The right tools for the job
There’s nothing worse than spending hours decorating a room and then finding your hand wasn’t as steady as previously thought, leaving a feature wall with an avant-garde or wiggly edge. Using taskspecific tools will make the painting process much easier and and result in far fewer blemishes. The Harris Ultimate range includes products for precise control as well as products for speedy painting and great coverage. There are even products for extra reach and for awkward to paint areas. With Harris’ taskspecific tools, colour-coded on packaging and product, it’s simple a matter to ensure that you have chosen the best tool for the job.
