Interior Design Advice - What order should I do my decorating in.?

by Jenna
(Miami, Florida)

I need to repaint a room in my house and redo the hardwood floors. Which is it best to do first? Should I sand and stain the floors first? Or paint the walls? Which sequence makes most sense and why?

Paint first - definitely!
by: Charlotte

It is recommended that you paint the walls first, then sand and stain the floors - you are really more likely to drip on the floors than splash stain up the walls, and it is far easier to touch up paint on the wall and get a good, neat finish, than touch up the floor stain.

Don't forget to let the paint on the walls dry very well, before you start the floor!

Take a look at this recommended order of works, that professional interior designers use, to plan their interior design projects: click here.

Wishing you lots of luck and fun with your decorating project.
