    A smooth wall will take a low pile (gloss) roller, a rough wall needs a fluffier (and emulsion one) one to ram the paint down into the surface.

    Take a picture of your wall showing the typical surface finish (put something into the picture, like your hand, to help scale things) and head to your local paint shop or woodies and ask for advice.

    You'll need a small brush too to get into corners, a roller tray to hold the paint, a roller and roller holder.

    You can get the whole thing as a kit (go for the emulsion roller) cheaply in woodies.

    The paint will be water based so everything will wash out under a cold tap
