Painting can be a fun, even calming, task that a whole family can get involved in, but it can also be a complete nightmare if luck isn't on your side.
From paint splatters on your floor to uneven finishes, there's plenty of things that can go wrong when giving a wall a fresh lick of paint. And as well as being messy, painting can be time consuming, requiring a good amount of taping to make sure you aren't painting over edges.
However, as reported by the Mirror, there are other ways to paint that don't involve as much time and effort. For example, one DIY expert posting under the username @my_neutral_place showed how easy it is to use a piece of card instead of tape.
