Walls, then go back and paint the woodwork with details..
Start from the highest poing and work your way down. But it's also good to start on the corners before you start on the the wall painting.
The lighter color should be painted first. Most times that is woodwork or trim. That way mistakes can be covered by the darker color. You'll need some tape no matter which way you do it though to help minimize mistakes.
you should paint the walls first. why because when you roll out your walls will get tiny spots of paint on your base boards. makes sure when you paint your trim you paint after the walls are dried completely. also you need to light sand your base boards due the small specks of paint or the dots will show up in your paint job. it will make your base boards look bad if you do not sand. you need fine grit sand paper or a sponge. note when you sand the top lip of the base you may hit the paint on the wall and rub off a little. that is fine because you can touch up the wall before you paint your base boards. it will make your job look more professional that way. if you are not great at making a straight line and you need to tape off please wait a few days before you do that so your paint on the wall is cured and stuck good. now if you do loose paint from peeling tape again just touch up. i never use tape because of that. make sure you move your brush steady to make a good line. a professional painter.
Paint the walls first. Cover the wood adjacent to the walls with wide tape so the wall paint will not get on the woodwork . Paint the woodwork last because if a small amount of wood paint does happen to get on the walls, it will be much easier to remove or to cover with wall paint and gravity will be in your favor (woodwork will be located above the walls). Cover the baseboards at the bottom of the walls with wide tape before starting to paint the walls. Then, paint the baseboards last of all using wood paint.
First rule of thumb when painting, ceiling, walls and trim, in that order.
Walls.because your woodwork accentuates the walls. You can easily change the color of your woodwork after the walls have been painted if you want.
Walls should be painted first after the ceiling and then woodwork. Just finished doing my closet.
In new work I prime everything, paint ceilings with two coats, paint walls one coat, and then follow the trim carpenters, painting trim then cutting back walls and painting them the second coat. The reason for this is that it is easier to cut back the wall paint than it is to cut in the trim. Lots of painters do it the other way, but it is slower and I believe a little less professional. I don't worry about any roller splash because I don't run my roller dry.
