The living room is having a pre-Christmas sprucing up (< see what I did there?). New curtains, rug, blinds and colour scheme.

I want to make the paintwork aspect as free of frustration as possible and want some good quality, no-loss paint brushes.
So please recommend the sizes I should get and a good make.

Thanking you.

DS

Purdy, which are in fact the best. Size depends upon skill, I only really use a 3" for woodwork unless it's really awkward or intricate. Same for cutting in emulsion. I'd recommend a 2" and a 1" for a DIY'er though

+1 for Purdy, been using an XL Dale for the majority of my living room and I've been impressed!

Instead of wasting time going around trying to buy those magical brushes, take my advice and go along to the nearest Dulux Decorator Centre. There you will find friendly, helpful and experienced staff, a range of equipment for your budget, much better quality paint than you can buy retail and a 10% discount if you get one of their loyalty cards.
