Painting a kitchen ceiling can revamp the look of the room.
When it comes time to revamp the look of your kitchen, you may be afraid to look up at the old and possibly peeling or cracked paint job on your kitchen ceiling. Painting that area of the kitchen can completely change the look and feel of the room, with darker colors to match the d cor or lighter colors that can really open up the space. Take the time to protect the rest of the room and you'll find that painting the kitchen ceiling is a project well worth the effort.
Instructions
1. Remove everything that you can from the kitchen, including appliances and all moveable furniture. This will ensure that you don't get paint on any of these fixtures.
2. Cover all countertops, as well as the floor, walls and any fixtures that you cannot remove, with plastic sheeting; tape the sheeting in place with painter's tape. This will prevent any drips or spills from ruining the rest of your room.
3. Detach any fixtures from the ceiling, such as ceiling fans or light fixtures. If you cannot detach these, cover them with plastic sheeting and painter's tape as well to keep paint away.
4. Cut in along the joint where the ceiling meets the wall, as well as around any fixtures, with a 2-inch paintbrush dipped in paint. This gets you into corners and against walls where the roller cannot reach.
5. Roll your main body of paint along the ceiling, starting in one corner parallel to the longest wall. Start the roller overlapping the wet edge of the cut-in area by about 1/8 to ¼ inch so that the two areas blend and you don't have a distinct seam between the two.
6. Alternate cutting in and rolling on paint to you maintain a wet edge between the two sections of paint. This will allow it to blend instead of creating seams between painted areas. Continue until you have covered the entire ceiling, and then let the paint dry overnight.
7. Inspect the painted surface and apply a second coat as necessary to get the appropriate color to cover small imperfections. Use the same procedure, and let the paint dry overnight before removing the coverings.
