Ultimate Decorating Tool Kit: What are the Essential Tools I need to Decorate my Home?
The below picture is of the three essential elements that you will definitely need for any decorating journey!
Whether you are deciding to wallpaper or paint your room (or even both!) this handy little guide will give you the key essentials which you will need to have to create your perfect dream decor!
So, above are some of the wonderful basics you will need for almost all of your decorating journeys! Rollers, paint brushes and your paint and/or wallpaper are essentials no matter what you are wanting to decorate!
Rollers and Tray: There are different rollers for different surfaces which you are intending to paint or paper. For example, thicker ones can be used for rougher surfaces and thinners ones for smoother.
Some of the Rollers below are great for different surfaces for different reasons:
1.) Extra Long Pile Roller- For Masonry Surfaces
These rollers have a unique foam padding for super-fast painting on masonry surfaces.
The foam allows for the roller to stretch more fabric around the core, which means that the roller can be loaded with a huge amount of paint, for super-fast painting on masonry surfaces.
It also allows you to apply more pressure where needed to help ‘work in’ to surfaces, perfect for any masonry jobs.
The extra-long pile of high-density fabric for getting into the roughest of surfaces, including pebble dash too.
For rough surfaces, the Captain Chunk Roller Sleeve Extra Extra Long Pile 9" £10.99 is perfect.

This roller is a long pile sleeve which is ideal for uneven walls and ceilings.
For nearly smooth surfaces, Captain Chunk’s Immaculate Finish Roller Sleeve Medium For Smooth And Nearly Smooth Surfaces 9" £3.99 is the perfect roller.
Cleaning rollers is also easy as they are made to last!

If you are using a ‘normal’ emulsion paint- or any other type of paint or primer etc. which can be washed off with water (check the manufacturer’s instructions- follow the steps below:
· Squeeze out excess paint
· Wash in clean, soapy water (or appropriate solvent if using with oil-based paint)
· Rinse thoroughly in clean water
· Spin dry
· Leave standing upright to dry fully
· This means that this roller sleeve can be used multiple times as well as having a low splatter resulting in less overall mess.
Paint brushes: Again, much like the rollers, different paint brushes are required for different decorating jobs!
Below is a quick list of some of the different paint brushes available and which ones would be best for which decorating jobs:
1.) Flat Paint Brushes
These types of paint brushes are ideal for a very fine finish and are very essential types of paint brushes.
This is because they can achieve a perfectly smooth and controlled paint finish as a result of their soft and smooth bristles combined with a precise tip too.
These paintbrushes are ideal for not only cutting in, but also for re coats as well as painting a wide variety of different surfaces too.
The fine synthetic filaments on these paintbrushes work to release paint evenly across the surface, which means that your walls- or any other painted surface for that matter- will always have a super smooth and beautifully coated finish.
For example, Harris Platinum 5 Brush pack: 2x1", 2x1.5", 1x2" £5.99.
