Basic Introduction to wall texture

Tweet

Texture is a subtle way of adding visual interest. Matt, rough textures such as wool, brick, wood and cork add warmth, while smooth, shiny surfaces such as chrome, glass and ceramic tiles are cool and more sophisticated.Visit the Woodworking Plans Website pages for more woodworking articles.

Texture can enhance the overall effect you want to create. Matt emulsion, for example, has a rich velvety finish that helps to make big rooms seem more cosy, while the lightreflecting sheen of silk vinyl has a brightening effect that makes small rooms seem more airy.

Texture is very important in one-colour schemes. Where a room has no colour contrast, add rugs and fabrics with a woven pattern for warmth.

Poor surfaces will be much more obvious with a plain painted finish so, if you don’t want to add pattern, add texture. Paint techniques such as sponging and ragging will help to disguise blemishes.

If pattern isn’t to your taste, paint-effect paper will give walls an instant facelift with colour and texture, but without the skill or effort needed for the real thing.

Texturing a wall is another decorating option that a lot of people forget to consider. Texturing can make a bold dramatic statement, turning a plain wall into a striking part of the overall design.

PS:Protect your wall texture and your clothes by painting the textured walls with a couple of coats of latex paint. (Now is the opportunity to add the color of your choice to your textured walls.) Learn more home designs and plans articles please go to woodworkingplans.tv website.
