ceiling, walls and woodwork/skirting......which order will I do?
Walls and ceiling will obligation 2 coats.
Answers: With all due respect to any others who answer; and I haven't read them; After applying multiple thousands of gallons of paint over my lifetime; "PREP" is the most crucial part of the process. You can choose any paint you preference; even decide that my suggestions or any others don't suit you; but if you spend the extra time to properly prep any nouns; you'll walk away far more self-righteous.
Ceilings first. Two coats??? Might be a very dingy ceiling; albeit ceiling paint usually have less pigment within it. I DO NOT TAPE at the corner; and perhaps because I've done it so normally. I do however...When I finally get to the walls; want some of the ceiling paint Covering the walls and seal the corners.
No matter the color; unless ceiling and walls are the same; I give up your job approx. 1/16th inch of ceiling color on the walls when painting. For that you can use a sculpture pad to CUT the stripe. Most painting pad have wee little wheel to keep the wad at a distance from the JOINT.
The idea is totally MIND over Perception. To anyone looking; the 1/16th inch of ceiling "WHITE" as long as the CUT LINE is straight; will never be notice; AS OPPOSED TO...wavy wall lines; wall color OOPS on the ceiling.
Molding: Cove base/ glass trim/ door trim is your choice. I happen to do both at once. Depending on your skill, eye/hand coordination/ and types of paint used; you might know how to CUT your lines; at walls or trim with no OOPS. Certainly once any are painted and well set you can use painter masking cartridge. That can cause OOOPS too.
If you blanket, remove it almost immediately after drawing, and not like it's a ZIPPER.
As abstract as this may nouns it may be a factor: Depending on our "dominant side/hand"///and your eye hand coordination; you may find it easier to CUT the right side of the TRIM (windows and doors) than you do the departed side; and/or vice versa.
I leave cove dais till the end; sometimes. Again that depends on the paint. IF I choose to paint the cove stand first I mask it when it have set, then paint the wall onto the cartridge; immediately removing video when that wall is finished.
No brag; but when I walk out of a room; and verbs up my tools; I might LOOK back; but I don't take CALLED back; Unless it's because of happiness and an offer of more work.

Woodwork first, later ceiling, then walls purely for simplicity fairly than order.
