Wall painting doesn’t have to be boring and with so many options you have nowadays, most of the times it’s nothing but another item on the to-do list. However, if you’re not a fan of detailed, intricate designs, which feature multiple colors and patterns, you have one more option: textured walls. This is pretty simple to achieve and can look amazing without overcrowding your walls. Let’s check the textures available.
Fabrics, an ancient texture
Back in old times people used to put fabrics on their walls to warm up the house; now you can get textured walls with help from the Tampa painting specialists, Noel Painting, without the actual fabric hanging on the walls. To paint the linen effect you need one or two colors and a dry brush. Plus lots of patience, if you’re doing it yourself. After having the wall painted completely, drag the brush over it to create the pattern. You can enhance the colors by adding a second color, which is going to show discreetly on top of the main color when you drag the dry brush.
Frottage, the cool effect
This is among one the coolest textures the Tampa painting pros at Noel Paintingare asked to deliver and it’s easy to achieve. You need a lint free rag to begin with. Paint the wall and then sponge the wet paint with a rag to get the texture.
Marble and faux stone effect
This effect can be achieved by multiple techniques. One of them is sponging, which is pressing and brushing a sponge over the wet painting. Using a cloth or a paint brush is another option. Colorwashing is the third method, which uses diluted paint to create the stone effect.
All of these techniques can also be used on the ceiling as well, so you can put your creativity to work and enhance your house design by adding texture on your ceiling, leaving the walls as simple as possible.
