The quickest way to refresh a room is to paint it, but in your haste to update it with your new favorite color, it would be easy to neglect the preparations needed to do a neat job.
If you don’t make sure the walls are smooth and anything you don’t want to be painted is covered before you start, the results will be marred by imperfections. And if you can’t live with those irritating mistakes, you risk having to redo the room.
