What are the most useful decorating tools?
When you're preparing to refresh a wall, touch up a ceiling, or completely overhaul a room, it’s the right tools that make the job feel doable — and even enjoyable. The most useful decorating tools are often the simplest. A reliable paint brush that holds its shape. A smooth roller that doesn’t shed halfway through the first coat. A scraper that actually lifts old paint or wallpaper without gouging the wall. At Rinkit, we stock the decorating staples that help you cut through the mess and get straight to the good part — the transformation.
Masking tape is another quiet hero. It might seem like an afterthought, but when applied right, it gives you those sharp, clean lines that make the difference between a rushed DIY job and something that looks professionally done. Paint trays, filler knives, sanding blocks — these tools do more than you think. They smooth the bumps, fill the gaps, and give your chosen colour a better surface to shine on. That’s why our collection focuses on gear that’s up to the task — no gimmicks, just the bits you need to get stuck in with confidence.
Why do proper decorating tools make such a difference?
Because decorating can be strangely unforgiving. A wobbly hand or a low-quality brush leaves visible streaks that are hard to ignore. Cheap rollers splatter more than they cover. And nothing ruins momentum faster than tools that don’t do what they should. That’s where proper decorating gear comes in. It makes each step cleaner, quicker, and less stressful. A good filler knife applies smoothly and evenly. A proper scraper lifts old paint without damaging the surface beneath. Brushes with quality bristles give you more control, especially when you’re edging around switches or corners.
And let’s be honest — decorating is one of those tasks that feels a lot more satisfying when it goes smoothly. When your tools work with you instead of against you, you’re more likely to enjoy the process. Less mess, fewer do-overs, and more time stepping back to admire the fresh coat of paint on the wall instead of fixing smudges on the skirting board. Investing in decent tools doesn’t just give you a better result — it makes the journey far less frustrating too.
Can decorating tools really help beginners?
Absolutely. If you’re tackling your first paint job or experimenting with a bit of wallpapering, having the right tools makes all the difference between trial-and-error frustration and a solid start. Something as simple as using a paint guard or decent masking tape can give you confidence to cut in without fear. Our decorating collection isn’t aimed just at tradespeople — it’s perfect for anyone who wants to give their space a fresh look without calling in the pros.
And sometimes it’s not about a big job. Maybe it’s a scuffed hallway that needs a quick touch-up. Or a bit of filler for those tiny dents that catch the light every time you walk past. Having the right kit on hand means you can get those jobs done quickly — no putting it off, no faff. It’s all about control, and a touch of pride when you see the difference just one afternoon’s effort can make.
