Can I sleep in a freshly painted room?

• <div><p>It’s best to avoid sleeping in a freshly painted room for 24 to 72 hours, depending on ventilation and the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the paint. If you’re using a low- to no-VOC paint in a room with good ventilation, it’s generally safe to sleep in the room once the paint is dry. For other kinds of paint, give the VOCs a few days to dissipate before sleeping in the room.</p></div>

Are expensive paint brands better than budget paint brands?

• <div><p>In some cases, expensive, premium paint brands are better than their budget paint brand competitors, but that isn’t always the case. BEHR® and PPG Paint® companies are moderately priced and still offer great coverage and durability. What’s more, each paint brand offers a variety of paint lines—each with its own pros and cons.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-popcorn-ceilings.htm">paint a popcorn ceiling</a> is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)</p><p>&ldquo;Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,&rdquo; says Bob Tschudi. &ldquo;Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It&rsquo;s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.&rdquo;</p></div>
