The right brush or roller is as important as the paint you choose. Go for the best quality you can afford - you'll get a better finish and need fewer coats.
Rollers and pads are best for walls and ceilings. Pads come in different sizes and can be angled for a neat edge. If you prefer rollers, choose the right sleeve for your walls: short pile for smooth plaster; medium for uneven or lightly textured walls; long pile or sheepskin for rough textured or external walls; foam for satin, eggshell and gloss. Look out for mini rollers for woodwork - plus long-handled ones for reaching.
