Most paintbrushes range in size from 1-inch up to 4-inches and can have an angled or flat/straight edge. The edge of the brush is basically a matter of user preference, but the different sizes are important to consider based on the surface you’re painting.

When you have tight, detailed areas to paint, a small brush (1-inch to 1½-inch) is recommended. Adding an angle sash can also help you get into those hard to reach crevices. Small brushes are ideal for hobbies and crafts, window mullions, and tight corners.

Brushes that are 2-inches to 2½-inches are a great middle ground. They are typically the most popular and versatile brushes because they can be used for such a wide variety of projects. A flat brush of this size is ideal for baseboards, cabinets, furniture, moldings, railings, shutters, and gutters while an angle sash brush of this same size is effective for window frames, casings, door moldings, and cutting in edges of walls, ceilings, and baseboards.

It is common for people to think small brushes are easier to control. This isn’t always true! If you select a high-quality brush in a slightly larger size (2-inch instead of 1½-inch), it can paint more precisely than a low-quality, smaller brush. The paint project will go much faster and the finish will be smoother, too. However, it’s important to note that if you’re a beginner, you need to be careful. Attempting to trim around your woodwork without taping it off can be tricky, so consider starting with a thin angle sash style brush instead of an angle sash. This will help you control the amount of paint you’re carrying to the wall and avoid the possibility of ruining your woodwork.
