Home Decorating with Textured Paint

Textured paint and faux finishes have been popular for years. They are mesmerizing material that transforms dull surfaces into stunning ones, covering up old stains or adding new life to your home decorating project! Many home improvement stores are offering classes to those who need a little more guidance in making their own textured paint finishes. 

Endless selections

The possibilities are endless when it comes to faux finishes. You can create anything from plaster to brick, all the way up to leather. These days, if you have a home renovation project on your hands and want to give the walls some personality without painting them all over again or hiring an expensive designer there is no need to look any further than faux finishes. With so many different types of textured paints out in stores nowadays it is easier than ever before to create something unique simply by using household items!

Pay attention

Homeowners with an imaginative spirit can take this style of painting into every room in the house, but there are some downsides to it. For your painted walls and furniture pieces to look cohesive you will need more than just one color-side by side. Otherwise, they will not blend well because each object has been given its own unique pattern or design which makes them stand out from others around it. If we are talking about floral prints on cream colored damask cloths, then sure this will work!

Worth your money and time

Textured paints are a time consuming and potentially expensive process. If you hire someone to do the work, be sure their hours cover your investment. This will not only save money but give an excellent result for less labor-intense effort! One of the most debated topics in home design is whether it’s worth all the time and money to hire a professional.

Don´t be afraid!

Make sure you are committed to the project before starting it. If something doesn’t work out, don’t be afraid of removing it, putting a little effort in just for this room! When used as an accent, textured paint can be very effective. In larger amounts though it becomes too much and unimpressive to look at – which is why we recommend using them wisely in your home design! 

Textured paints and faux finishes are often used to create a more interesting design feature in the house. They seem most common in living rooms or kitchens but can be found anywhere if you look hard enough!

Faux finishes

It is true that some homes can wear the best of faux finishes in almost every nook and cranny. However, for others there is no better way to bring life back into their décor than with textured paint or perhaps an aged finish! For those of you who live within homes that can wear faux finishes everywhere, consider using textured paint or perhaps an aged finish.
