subject: Home Decoration Ideas To Brighten Up Your Day [print this page] A crucial aspect of home painting is understanding the way various colour combinations come together to give spaces a particular look. When youre looking at painting your home, begin with thinking about the ambience you want to have. Do you want the whole house to look the same? Or does adding a dash of variety seem more exciting? Clarity on these perspectives will give you some direction on how to paint your house. Having decided on a look for a space, go about choosing the right colours and shades within these colours. If youre looking for some innovative interior design ideas for your walls, some wall decoration might be just what youre looking for.
Patterns are great way to add decorative elements to your walls and can transform them from stuffy old blank areas to living canvases. With the options available today, there are a range of different, interesting wall painting pattern products. Throw in a bit of your innate creativity, and you could create some magic on your walls! Heres an idea to begin with, but be sure to improvise on it or think up something even better.
Sponging is often selected as a fun yet simple way to decorate walls. And the best part is that you dont even need too many tools or implements to get started; a sea sponge and some matching shades of wall paints to go with the wall background. You begin with giving the wall a base coat and allowing it to dry. Once the base coat has dried completely, take the sponge, dip it lightly in the paint and set about dabbing the sponge on the walls in a pattern you have chosen. At this point, its important to remember to dab the sponge gently on the wall because you dont want it to look like a blob of paint on your beautifully painted wall. A popular theme that people go with is the cloud pattern when sponging by using light colours. If you want to give it a mildly sombre appearance, add a bit of a darker colour to the cloud outlines. To give it a foggy, misty look, you can gently wipe the edges of cloud with a cloth.
Importantly, make sure you start the wall decoration with a clear vision of what you want to create. At the same time, do a bit of research on the paints in the market because there are a lot of interesting home decoration products that you might find useful. Finally, invest some time in turning your vision into a reality by being hands-on and taking an active interest in how your contractor is going about his job.
