Moving things from the room will make you feel free and also you could stop worrying about spilling the paint on the furniture and other stuff in the room.
Even a superior quality paint cannot adhere to the walls that are full of dirt and dust. First, use a dry cloth to remove all the dust on the walls. Afterward use a wet cloth to remove the dirt on the floorboards, crown mouldings, doorways, and windows. You can start painting after the area becomes dry and free of dust and dirt.
Noticed any imperfections like cracks, scratches, holes, or peeling paint? Then fix them before starting the painting. Even small damage can be seen when the new paint is applied. Make sure that all the repair is done before starting the actual job of painting.
