    Difficult if you do not have a steady hand, otherwise a small brush and simply cutting into the corner (cutting in a a method of brush application, not any cutting of materials)

    You used frog tape? http://www.frogtape.co.uk/

    Or paint ceiling and walls same colour!

    Q

    Thanks to QfanatiQ

    +1 for FrogTape. Expensive at £6.99 in B&Q. Used 3 rolls of it for this -

    Picture doesn't do it justice, but them lines are bang on. Looks like wallpaper!
    It was the missus idea and she loves it. I'm in 2 minds.

    if you use frog tape dont leave it on too long, it will take all the paint off under it if you do. otherwise it does do striaght lines, if you doing the angles from wall to ceiling use a piece of cardboard about 30-40cm long, hold it at an angle with one hand and paint with the other, does a good enough job, if you dont want to use cardboard b&q sell a similar thing in plastic that does the same job.

    You can buy an angled brush forgot what its called but I bought one from Wilkinson not long ago, it's designed specifically for painting edges.
