The Popular Paint Trick Jeremiah Brent Says No To

As Brent mentioned, many TikTok users have been sharing videos documenting their experiences painting with socks. Some have painted furniture using this method, while others have painted entire walls. User @tishaaragon shared a TikTok showing how she painted over a wall using a sock instead of a paintbrush. This painting method resulted in a watercolor-like design. Many viewers were not happy with the end result. “I tried to trust the process…” one user wrote in the comments section of the video. You’ll notice that the painted wall is blotchy. While this is intentional in this case, it may not be the best idea to use a sock to paint if that’s not your end goal. If you want a solid, streak-free result, consider using traditional painting tools.

One tip for painting your home like a pro is to use the same tools that the experts use, such as brushes and rollers. These tools produce even coats of paint as long as you use them correctly. It’s important to know when each of these items is best used before you begin. Paintbrushes are great for smaller projects or areas where you need to paint with precision, such as tight corners or near electrical outlets. Paint rollers, on the other hand, are great for covering large areas. For example, if you need to paint walls in a room, opt for a paint roller.
