Tools and Materials
For this step, you will need the following tools and materials:

• Lamp or flashlight for illumination

• Putty knife or spatula

• Sandpaper and wet sanding sandpaper

• Cleaning solution (soap and water or cleaning agent)

• Towels or cloth

• Paint sealer (if needed)

Detailed Inspection of Walls and Surfaces
Use a lamp or flashlight to carefully illuminate the walls and other surfaces to be painted. This will help you spot even small defects or unevenness. Carefully inspect the entire surface, checking for cracks, unevenness, holes, or areas with cracked or peeled paint.

Repairing Unevenness and Cracks
If you notice unevenness or cracks in the walls or other surfaces, use a putty knife or spatula to apply some repair material to them. Smooth the material with the putty knife or spatula to level it with the surface. Allow the repair material to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the repair material is dry, use sandpaper to smooth the surface even more and make it smooth.

Sanding Old Paint (if necessary)
If the paint on the walls is old and has torn or cracked, use sandpaper to sand these areas. This will help the new paint adhere better to the surface. Clean the dust that has formed after sanding with a clean cloth or towels.

Cleaning the Surfaces
Last but not least, clean the surfaces of dust, dirt, and grease using a cleaning solution and a clean cloth or towels. Make sure the walls are completely dry before proceeding to the next steps in the painting process. Once you complete this step, the surfaces will be optimally prepared for applying the new paint, ensuring a longer-lasting and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Choosing Paints and Colors
After preparing the surfaces, it is time to choose the appropriate paints and colors for your painting project. Consider the following aspects:
Types of Paints: There are different types of paints, such as acrylic, latex, oil-based, and others. Choose paint that is suitable for the material of your walls and the specific requirements of the project.
Colors: Browse through the available colors and shades and choose the ones that match your taste and interior style. You can choose one color for the entire room or create interesting accents with a combination of colors.

Preparation of Materials and Tools
Once you have determined the paint and colors you will use, it's time to purchase the necessary materials and tools for painting. This includes:
Paints: Buy enough paint to cover the desired surfaces, considering the size of the room and the number of planned coats.
Brushes and Rollers: Choose quality brushes and rollers that are suitable for the type of paint you are using and the size of the surfaces to be painted.
Masking Tape and Protective Covers: Purchase masking tape to cover areas you do not want to paint, such as moldings, doors, and windows. Also, buy plastic covers to protect furniture and floors from paint.

Preparation of the Room
Move furniture away from the walls or cover them with plastic sheets to protect them from paint. Use masking tape to cover areas you do not want to paint, such as windows, doors, and moldings.

Applying the Paint
Apply the first coat of paint carefully, aiming for an even coverage. Use a brush for the edges around corners and doors and a roller for large surfaces. Allow the first coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before applying the second coat. Check for unevenness and spots after the first coat and correct them before proceeding.

Final Touches
Remove the masking tape carefully while the paint is still slightly soft to avoid tearing the edges. Clean your tools using soap and water for brushes and rollers before the paint dries on them. Place the furniture back in its place after the paint has completely dried.
