Textured wall painting

Textured wall painting

Textured wall painting offers huge potential for creativity and can really give a completely new style to the home interior. Its can be customized uniquely for different rooms and is cost effective than wall papers(one bag of textured paint can be used over area covered by a double rolls of wall papers) and obviously looks more exciting than plain paints. Different textures can be created by using simple house old items. Whisk brooms can be used to create glass cloth like texture or long strokes of a brush can cerate splashing texture. We can be creative in using sprays and different rollers and to create visually interesting unique combinations. For example using combs we can create lines or just paint the wall with think paint in up down strokes and then we may use towel and swirl the paint of the wall creating a round peak n valley texture. The other type of textures (like wood grain) can require different kind of tools with a little more practice and creativity. Other textures can be achieved with glazing or sponge dabbing etc.

Benefits:-

1. These can create subtle patterns and would look much more creative and attractive than wall papers.

2. The other benefit of the textured paints is it can cover up old fashion paneling and give a new look to the home. Texture paint and faux finish can cover up imperfections in the wall and can hide improper and uneven drywall.

3. Most textured paints are water soluble and can be later softened,and repainted if so desired by plain paints. ­
