Pink paint comes in myriad tones and shades.
Using pink paint in a bedroom can create either the perfect room for a little girl or a cool, modern look for a color-themed sanctuary depending on the shade you choose. With a little preparation and a few spare hours, you can transform your bedroom into the pink palace you always dreamed of. Paler pinks are linked to calm feelings and contentment, while magenta and other darker shades are said to neutralize disorder, so pink is the ideal color for any bedroom.
Instructions
1. Remove all furniture from the room to give yourself a clear space to work in and to prevent any damage to the furniture.
2. Cover the floor with a plastic sheet or dust sheet to protect it.
3. Apply sugar soap to previously painted walls using a sponge, and rub vigorously to remove any dust or dirt particles, grease, or nicotine. This will give you a clean, blank canvas to begin painting on. Wearing rubber gloves will offer protection from the sugar soap, which can irritate skin.
4. Rinse the sugar soap off after a minute or two.
5. Apply masking tape along baseboards; around door frames, light switches, and plug sockets; and along the joint between the wall and ceiling to create a crisp edge to finished paint work.
6. Paint the room with undercoat, working on small areas at a time. Use even brush strokes and paint in one direction for a smooth finish. Allow to dry.
7. Paint the walls with a thin and even layer of . Again, paint in one direction only to minimize the look of brush strokes. Allow to dry.
8. Add a second coat of pink paint to the walls once the first coat is fully dry. If your paint is dark pink, this will allow for even coverage and will cover up any sections that were missed or where brush strokes from the first layer are showing through. If your paint is light pink, this will provide a thicker overall layer of coverage to your painted walls and will prevent the undercoat or previous paint color from showing through.
9. Remove masking tape gently and pull up the plastic sheeting or dust sheet.
