5 decorative paint techniques for walls

Changing up the painting technique in a room is a good way of revamping any spaces you are getting bored with. As well as being something you can change quite frequently without being too costly, it is also the best way to make alterations to a room without adding any clutter. 

Before starting a project like this in your own home it is best to be completely honest with yourself. If you are not experienced with DIY then it is best to hire a local painter and decorator, to make sure your walls are in the best hands. 

So, moving onto the 5 techniques. The techniques you can try are;

• Metallics
• Stencils
• Stripes on the wall
• Polka dots
• Colour wash

Metallics

If you want everyone to really notice your walls then metallic walls are the way to go. This is one technique we recommend using a professional for as it can be a rather complex to implement. 

Stencils

Using stencils on your walls are a really good way to make the rooms stand out. A relatively easy technique with an abundance of choices to choose between. 

Stripes on the wall

Stripes on the wall is a painting technique that never seems to get old. There are so many different ways to present them on your wall. Horizontal or vertical, big or small, you can really get creative with this technique. 

Polka dots

Using polka dots is a fun, playful way to bring new life to a room. They are so easy to apply that you can even decorate with the kids. 

Colour Wash

Great for adding depth and colour to a room. Also very good at making a room look vintage and rustic.
