Knowing how to cut in with paint on a ceiling and your walls is a key skill every DIY decorator should have under their belt. A must when painting rooms of all shapes and sizes, cutting in paint will help you tackle that tricky area where your walls meet the ceiling, to ensure a professional finish every time. We want to see crisp, clean edges all along the top of the walls and failing to cut in properly could leave you with a fairly disappointing paint job that even the kids might pull you up on... It sounds harder than it is, so grab a good brush and watch our quick how to below to become a pro in no time. Find the best paint brushes for all your DIY needs. 1.

Don't go too narrow as you need to be able to paint far enough from the edge to roller in (without scuffing the adjoining wall).
