use painter tape and get a plastic drop sheet....tape it to the bottom of baseboard
Tape along floor and wall. Some people use most anything to block areas, but you will have to wipe down the blocker as you move it. Strips of paper, newspaper, old magazine pages taped into place can work. Keep wet rag handy to remove any oops before they dry.
