Clear what you can
Move small furniture, decor and wall hangings out. Push large pieces to the center of the room.
Mark problem spots
Point out cracks, nail holes and water stains so they're patched and primed before color goes on.
Plan for pets and airflow
Keep pets out of the room and plan to open windows. Low-VOC paints help, but fresh air still matters.
