Roll Paint Along the Edges for Consistent Texture

When it comes to wall painting, corners and areas next to trim that are painted only with a brush have a noticeably different texture than the surrounding paint. To ensure the finished texture will be consistent in these areas, brush on the door and trim paint, then immediately roll it out before the paint dries. Use a 3-in. roller with a nap that's the same thickness that was used for the rest of the wall painting. Roll as close as you can without bumping the opposite wall or slopping paint onto the trim. Finish brushing on the paint and rolling it out in one area before moving on to the next section. Next, check out these 29 painting tool hacks to make your painting projects a breeze.
