Bored of plain solid coloured distemper walls? Looking to renovate your house? Changing wall colours and interiors may suffice your requirement, but giving texture to the wall will take the effect to an altogether different level!
Yes, the world is now looking towards texture paint as an alternative to over priced wallpapers. Textured paints are more durable, long lasting, non-falky and hide imperfections in the wall.
Texture paints are of two types- smooth texture and sandpaper texture. The former is used on room walls while the latter looks good on ceilings and exterior where there are less chances of scrutiny. Diverse texture designs are available in the market that will baffle the buyers. From bark effect to shell pattern to comb effect, different types of rollers or brushes are used to impart different effects.
Textures are carved on the surface while the paint is still wet. Brown colour textured as wood looks elegant in a drawing room with beige upholstery for furniture. Conversely, use blue paint ceiling and give it a grainy texture. Paste few fluorescent starts on it and viola! Your sky is ready and bright for nights to come. Popcorn textured ceiling paint also is a fun idea.
Combing technique creates striated patterns while sponging gives a desert effect. These look good in a bathroom. Less cost of paint and a host of added advantages have made texture paints popular with people over a period of time. They work well on the exterior house wall too and can be applied on concrete. The paint can withstand rain, extreme conditions of heat or cold and reflect back UV rays. They are fungal, mildew and algae resistant too.
So what are you waiting for? Use your imagination and give your wall some life.
