I’ve shared the best paintbrushes for a smooth finish (here), but I also recently had the opportunity to try one of the detail brushes by Zibra. The Triangle Brush is by far the best paintbrush for corners, trim, nooks and crannies, and today I want to share my experience with it as I tried it out on a recent furniture project. As the name suggests, it’s shaped like a triangle which allows it to easily fit into corners. Whether you’re painting the corner of a wall or a piece of furniture, this brush makes it so easy! (P.S. Stay tuned for a giveaway at the end of this post!)
The shape enables it to get into all of the little crevices, and I tested it out when I painted our new nightstand for the master bedroom.
I’ll be sharing a full tutorial for this IKEA hack soon, but for now I want to focus on the paintbrush and how easy it made the job. It required no effort at all to get into the crevices of each drawer, and it made painting the edges of the entire piece so simple.
I’ve tried a few different Zibra brushes now, and I can definitely tell you I won’t be going back to generic, low-quality brushes. A quality paintbrush is a must if you want a professional-looking finish, plus it makes the job quicker and easier. This brush holds paint so much better than a generic brush, so I found myself dipping it into the paint far less frequently, which translates to time saved. I also didn’t have to press and cram my brush into the corners like I usually do. This brush just glides into the corners easily, simplifying my work and cutting down on my project time.
Using a specific type of brush designed especially for a particular application absolutely makes a huge difference in determining what type of finish is produced, as well as how quickly you’re able to finish the job. I didn’t fully understand this until I started using Zibra brushes and realized that it totally makes sense to use different styles of brushes depending on the job I’m working on. Using a “one size fits all” paintbrush for all applications just isn’t efficient, plus I’m all about working smarter, not harder. Why cram a straight-edged brush into a corner if there’s a brush designed to do the job effortlessly? I’ll be adding the Triangle Brush to my arsenal from now on.
Here’s the nightstand all done:
The Triangle Brush can be purchased at The Home Depot. To find out more about this brush plus all of the other specialty paintbrushes that Zibra offers, visit their site here, and connect with them on Facebook and YouTube.

I’d love to try the square and triangle brushes.
I tried Zibra brushes after reading the previous post you did on them. I couldn’t believe what a difference it made. Now I would love to try the 2″ wedge brush. I can see how it would really come in handy. Thanks for introducing me to Zibra brushes!!
Zibra brushes are great for painting trim and six-panel doors. My favorites are the triangle and sash edger.
The triangle brush is brilliant! I have several paint projects that are waiting to be done, and would love to use high quality brushes like the ones in the Zibra kit.
I could really use the triangle brush with all the painting I’m planning to do this coming year. It looks awesome!
Thanks for a great giveaway! I have several projects I could use these on.
Blessings, Candy
OMG I LOVE to paint. These brushes could change my life. I’ve never seen anything like them, gotta give them a try!
I would love to try the triangle brush!
These paint brushes are the bomb! Love the one you demonstrated but also wish I had the 3″ chiseled brush and the palm pro
Love that triangle brush. I have a ton of painting ahead. I would love to win,
Loved all the zibra paint brushes. I paint a lot and would love to try each of them!
These brushes look so cool! I have four rooms that I need to paint, these would really, really make me happy!
The paintbrush looks very intriguing. Would love to try it on my next projects. The handle looks comfortable and love the shape of the bristles.
The detail brushes are amazing and I would immediately pick up the triangle brush!
Thanks for sharing these awesome brushes with us!
I would love to try all of them!
It’s so hard to find good quality brushes for painting furniture and craft projects!
These all look really cool! I’d love to try the no-tape-edge-n-roll – no more taping!!
This triangle brush sounds perfect for all the little corners and such. I also need a new angled brush. Hubby borrowed mine and didn’t clean it. Ugh. It is wonderful to learn they are still coming up with great ideas for brushes. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to try the triangle brush!!
i would try the round brush!
I would love to try any of these brushes..have just started experimenting with painting furniture and up til now have been using cheap brushes..probably the reason my pieces don’t turn out as professional looking as yours..love your blog!!
Hi Thanks for sharing. I have been looking to buy new brushes to finish painting my house this summer. The detail brushes look very interesting..but I think I may have to purchase a new angled one first.
I’d love to try the triangular brush!
I would love to try the Triangle brush too!
I’d like to try the chiseled wedge brush. These sound like great brushes!
Is like to try the edge n-roll because I always end up painting the ceiling when I paint a room a new color.
the triangle brush looks great
The triangle and the chiseled wedge, for sure! I’m eventually going to be repainting our entire house, so any tool,that might make that task esker is an automatic winner in my book!!
Love that triangle brush! And the edge roller would be awesome too.
How do these brushes compare to Purdy brushes? I’ve been using my set of Purdy brushes for years, and they’re great, but I am interested in the triangle brush!
I like them better than Purdy, personally. Purdy used to be my go-to until I discovered these! They’re both high quality, but these seem to hold paint better.
I love Zibrs Brushes and have two of the round ones and just bought the triangle one….got to give it a try right away 🙂 I want to continue to collect all their brushes for my furniture business 🙂
Have tried the corner brush you are featuring in your blog. Love love love this brush. I would love to try the Zebra 2″ Chiseled Wedge Brush, checked my hardware store just yeaterday, and they carry the corner brush and that’s it!! So sad. Would love to have the chiseled wedge! Fingers crossed!!
I have to pick one? I want to try them all! Thank you for sharing this product!
I would like to try the Chiseled Wedge Painter’s Brush!
I’d love to try the triangle brushes!
The triangle brush would work great on a kitchen cabinet I’m getting ready to paint.
