When it comes to painting, choosing the right brush size can make all the difference. So, how do you know which one is right for your project? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
The Brush Breakdown: Small, Medium, Large—Which One’s for You?
When it comes to brushes, size affects how much paint you can carry and how much control you have.
Small Brushes
The smallest ProRenovator brushes are 25-38mm wide. Small brushes are perfect for detail work, trims and are ideal for most furniture upcycling projects.
Medium Brushes
This is the versatile go-to brush, usually around 50-63mm in size. A medium-sized brush can handle most interior painting tasks, from trims to walls and ceilings. They are great for cutting in around edges and corners. It gives you the right balance between coverage and control—big enough to get the job done without being too bulky for tight spots.
Large Brushes
Got a big surface to cover? A large brush (75mm or greater) is your best friend! Whether you’re painting large sections of a wall or exterior surfaces, the bigger the brush, the more paint it can hold. This means you can cover more area in less time. However, keep in mind that larger brushes are less precise, so if you don’t have a lot of painting experience, maybe go down a size.
Paint Like a Pro!
Now that you know the ins and outs of brush sizes, you’re ready to paint like a pro. Remember, the key to a smooth and professional-looking finish is using the right tool for the job. So, next time you’re standing in the paint aisle, take a second to think about your project and select the right size.
And remember, when it comes to painting: Size matters… but so does a little creativity! Happy painting!
