How to cut in paint

Learning how to cut in paint is an essential skill for achieving a professional-quality finish on any decorating project. Cutting in involves painting neat, precise lines along the edges of walls, ceilings, skirting boards and around obstacles like light switches, creating a clean 'frame' before you tackle the larger areas with a roller. While it may seem tricky at first, mastering this technique makes all the difference between an amateur result and a polished, decorator-standard finish. Watch our step-by-step video guide below to see the process in action, and visit our comprehensive how to cut in paint guide for detailed written instructions, expert tips and FAQs.
