We've found THE best DIY painting tip – to change decorating our homes forever

Here at Ideal Home we love nothing more than practical tips and hacks to make decorating our homes a little easier. This DIY painting tip is one such hack that we can’t get enough of.

Having been an interior stylish for many years it doesn’t surprise us that Lucy has picked up the best tips and tricks of the trade along the way. And this one is belter.

And all your need is a rubber band!

Remember to use my painting tip when you’re doing DIY while in isolation! Put a large rubber band around your paint pot and wipe the brush on the rubber band rather than the side of the pot. No drips! Styled by me and shot by @oliverperrottphoto #interiorstylist #interiorstyling #diy #toptip #diyhack #interiorsobsessed #paintpot @littlegreenepaintcompany #rubberband

Lucy shares her top tip with her followers writing, ‘Remember to use my painting tip when you’re doing DIY while in isolation! Put a large rubber band around your paint pot and wipe the brush on the rubber band rather than the side of the pot. No drips!’

How’s that for simple yet ingenious.

‘What a great tip thank you ’ one follower is quick to reply.

‘God that’s genius!’ exclaims another. Our thoughts exactly.

Lucy’s helpful tip stops exactly what you see above – paint accumulating around the side of the tin, or worse still spilling down the sides.

We asked lucy for her pro tips to using this trick. ‘Make sure you have the thickest band you can find in your kitchen drawer.’ Place it around the tin as she demonstrates.

Once you’re done painting she explains, ‘Just wipe off the band, and then gently remove it. ‘ No mess, no waste and it’s totally free. What’s not to love about this brilliant stylist painting tip?

Well this ties in nicely on a couple of levels today! This is a shoot I styled for the January issue of @livingetcuk and was shot beautifully by @sibev. Its a sophisticated, paired-back look at Christmas with a focus on midnight blues and caramels with a touch of black. Amazing foliage by @titanias_garden helps it to feel like Xmas but not too in your face! Love that it’s also similar to the new @pantone colour of the year for 2020!
