Looking for a way to bring life into your room but a simple change of color won’t do? When you are itching for something creative, consider a specialty paint or finish.
You can add a glimmer to your trim or a burst of shine to an accent wall using metallic paint. Although gold and silver are the most popular, metallic paints come in a wide variety of colors. It is a good idea to carefully read the labels before purchasing these paints, as they tend to be more expensive than conventional textures. Additionally, it is often recommended that these paints be sprayed on, as opposed to rolling paint on or using a paintbrush.
Textured paints have also become very popular. Perhaps you would enjoy the soft feel of suede, or sheen’s that mimic the dancing flame of a candle or the fine consistency of a sandy beach, each providing a creative twist to customary paints.
Ever wanted wood grained or marble walls? A faux finish can simulate these as well as other materials. Just start with a base coat and then add a coat of tinted glaze on top; this is a project that you can take on yourself.
Transform your room’s walls into writable surfaces by applying chalkboard paint. The resilient topcoat can be washed, but be sure to remember to wait a few days before using your new “chalkboards.”
Magnetic paint allows you to avoid using nails or tacks in hanging pictures or other wall decorations, eliminating unsightly holes and imperfections in your walls. Simply apply three or four coats before you apply the standard paint to ensure your items stick.
A good mural artist can liven up your children’s rooms by depicting animals, monster trucks, and sports figures, scenes from their favorite fairy tale or any other child favorite.
Another popular trend is the use of vinyl letters to adorn your children’s walls. These adhesive letters can be used to inspire or provide laughter when famous or witty sayings are featured, or you can display your child’s name.
Wallpaper has undergone a makeover and is making a comeback in many cities, Bakersfield new homes are seen to be built with metallic wallpaper included. Patterns differ from traditional wallpaper, featuring metallic, textures and vivid color schemes.
Wallpaper can even now be customized to exhibit a wall-sized photograph of a serene scene or family portrait.
