Transforming a rental home into a personal space can take time, as indicated by designer Alex Hinand, who suggests it may take a year. Through his experience, he demonstrates that multiple paint jobs are often necessary; his dining room, for instance, underwent three transformations before achieving the desired dark green look. He shares crucial tips for painting, such as prepping properly and ensuring ample paint supply, to minimize disruptions and enhance efficiency throughout the process.
"If I hadn't gotten the second gallon, I know it would have taken me months to get back to finishing the paint job, plus you will have extra when you invariably need a touch-up."
"You won't be interrupted by having to move another table or tape another wall."
"Take time to prep the entire room for paint at the beginning, like patching, moving furniture, and taking off your outlet covers."
"Cutting in the corners and ceiling first because they're the most difficult part and you'll have more care for precision at the beginning of your process."
