Unique Painting Techniques to Personalize Your Space

Do you want to make your home extraordinary? The era of the bland, featureless wall is over. More and more homeowners are choosing walls that not only match their décor, but also serve as a focal point. With just a couple of cans of paint, some brushes and cool painting tricks, you can transform your room in an afternoon. Here are some tips and tricks to follow to turn your home into a thing of beauty.

Add Texture to the Walls

Gone are the common, neutral-coloured walls that serve as a background to artwork. Ready for your house to look different than everyone else’s? You might be prepared to enter the world of textured painting and faux-finishing. These hacks can help bring fresh air to your living space without draining your wallet.

Use Pre-Textured Paint

Textured paint is no longer just for ceilings or ’80s walls. Current state textured paints have a wide range of styles, from light finishes that enhance a room with sophistication to rougher textures creating personality in any space. If you’re tired of the usual satin and eggshell finishes, or if you’re looking for a little more character in your paint job, a textured coat paint could be the perfect solution for an updated interior.

Adding Additives to Standard Paint

If you’re afraid to go full bore with textured paint, you can play around with additives instead. These inexpensive mix-ins help you form unique textures with your basic paints, perfect for everything from wood and brick to drywall and concrete. Available in textures such as sand, stone and popcorn, you can easily customize each room to your style preference.

Faux-Finishing

For a more artistic finish, there are several faux-finishing affects you can achieve. Sponging, ragging and working with specialized tools can give you depth and dimension that standard painting techniques cannot muster. Whether you’re going for a more rustic or a polished look, selectively applying finish lets you play with texture in inventive ways.
