Starting at the ceiling, cut in a 2 inch strip with a brush. Continue with the brush to cut in 2 inch strips in corners, around windows, doors, cabinets and baseboards. Note - there are tools available at your paint retail outlets that help make this edging job easier. Other "tricks" include sliding the roller cover off the holder slightly so that the roller's edge gets closer to the ceiling, windows or door.
Switch to a roller and paint in a vertical direction using a zigzag pattern. Push the roller upward on the first stroke, then form an "M" pattern to evenly distribute the paint on the roller (working in 3 ft sections is recommended). Fill in the "M" pattern without reloading the roller until you have complete coverage of the area. Continue with this approach until the wall is finished. Touching up spots you missed when the paint is wet will help minimize potential sheen differences.
Most manufacturers recommend that when you finish one wall, make sure you have enough paint to complete the next entire wall. Starting with another can of paint in the middle of a wall can result in slightly different colors, which will be perceptible side-by-side, but not wall-to-wall.
