If they are in good condition you can reuse them, but if not, buy quality brushes and rollers, they may cost you a little more but it does not matter because that way you can use them more times. Ask the paint store so they can tell you which ones are the best for what you are going to do.
You also need to buy masking tape, medium and fine-grit sandpaper blocks, and smoothing paste.

Go over and repair the walls

Clean the walls if they are very dirty with soap and water. If by chance you have some humidity, click here and in this article I will explain how to solve it. Cover all the damage that the wall has with the paste, let it dry and then go over it with the sandpaper. Never paint on top of the wallpaper . To remove it, wet it with a sponge with a tempered solution dissolved in water (this will dissolve the glue from the paper).

Put all the furniture in the center of the room and cover it with sheets or plastic so you can move better. It covers the soil well so that it does not stain. If you have lamps you can protect them with tightly closed garbage bags, but be careful not to light them, a trick would be to loosen or remove the bulbs. This is a good recommendation for how to paint the walls.
And don’t forget to protect baseboards, sockets, window and door frames with masking tape.

How it should be painted

The first thing to paint is the ceiling, to make it easier for you you can do it with an extension cord. First you paint it in one direction and the second hand perpendicular to the previous one. If the previous paint is of a very intense tone and the one that we are going to put is lighter, it would be convenient to give a layer of white so that the final result is more homogeneous. Paint with a brush the corners, the top of the skirting board and everything that the roller does not reach.

Cómo pintar una pared

Paint the walls from top to bottom , if you give several hands you do the same as with the ceiling, change the direction in each hand so that it covers better.
