All types of colors proposed today can be attributed to one of three types:

Painting the ceiling in the kitchen … with a smooth transition to the walls
The work begins, of course, from the ceiling. First of all, it is necessary to carefully paint the corners and joints of the adjacency to the walls with a brush, after which you can wave to the main area where the paint is applied and rolled out with a roller with a middle pile. Typically, practice is the application of two layers of paint, and the second is applied after completely drying out the first, that is, about a day in a day.
Wall painting is carried out after the end of ceiling work. At the same time, like on the ceiling, complex places are painted first with a brush, after which the paint is distributed over the entire surface with a roller. To make the layers uniform, the strips of paint must be overlap.
Professionals advise applying the first and second layer of paint on the ceiling and walls in different directions. The final coating on the ceiling is necessarily applied perpendicular to the window, and on the walls – perpendicular to the floor, and at first the roller is led down, and then up to avoid thickening of the paint below. If your ceiling after painting seems perfectly even and smooth, stripes and tinted shadows will not appear on it, then you certainly adhered to our advice.
