Decorative Painting Techniques
Solid colour walls and ceilings are no longer your only option when it comes to interior house painting. In addition to regular interior and exterior house painting, many professional painters and decorators (read our Painting and Decorating Overview) offer a range of decorative painting and faux finishing services. There are a wide range of painting techniques that can be applied to give walls a unique appearance or texture. Some of the more common faux and decorative techniques include:
- Sponge painting
- Rag rolling
- Ragging
- Colour washing
- Stencilling
- Suede
- Stippling
- Crackle painting
- Marbling
The key to success with any faux painting or decorative painting is knowledge and experience. If you are unsure of what technique will work best for your particular room ask your painter for some suggestions. Even if you are planning on doing some of the decorative work yourself, it is important to make sure the surfaces are prepared properly.
