When you say "decorative wall painting techniques" you might think of some complicated schemes that will require a team of professional painters to do it! But...

With the simplest of instructions, your imagination, and these decorative wall painting techniques you're just one step away from achieving some fresh and contemporary designs. A Little Bit of ...PlanningA little forethought will enable you to put in practice whatever wall decor scheme you have in mind.
Pick your favorite from all these interior wall painting ideas: COLORWASHINGColorwashing has a soft, gently textured surface created by brushing one or two thin successive washes of diluted paint over a smooth basecoat. The wash can tone or contrast with the basecoat, and generally is a slightly darker color. DON'T FORGET! SPONGINGIn this wall decorative painting technique, a sponge is used to apply one or more colors over a solid basecoat. This is a quick and easy way of giving texture to a surface. It can be used in conjunction with stenciling or stripes. DON'T FORGET! DRAGGINGThis grainy effect is created by pulling or dragging a dry brush over a coat of wet paint. DON'T FORGET! DRY BRUSHINGLike some others decorative wall painting techniques, this one uses very little paint. Similar with the colorwashing, the paint doesn't totally cover the surface, and crate a more textured effect. DON'T FORGET! STENCILINGBecause the decorative possibilities are endless, stenciling is considered one of the most popular paint effects. Basically it's a process of repeating one motif over and over. DON'T FORGET! SPATTERINGBy using this incredible simple technique, you will basically layer small dots of different coloured paint over a solid basecoat.Consistency is key element becuase if the paint is too thin, it will drip down on he wall. DON'T FORGET! FROTTAGEIt consists of brushing a wash onto the wall, and then with a piece of plastic or paper, scrunching it slightly over the wet paint and then lifting it away. DON'T FORGET! COMBINGThis easy technique will enable you to use your imagination to create a whole variety of patterns. The basics involve pulling a comb through a paint that is still wet, for a lined effect. It works best when you use it with contrasting colors. DON'T FORGET! RAGGINGIt can be done in 2 ways: RAGGING ON - when you dab a rag into paint, and then dab it on the wall, ang RAGGING OFF - when you brush paint on the wall, and then remove some of it with a rag.
