15 Wall Paint Techniques to go from Blah to Ta-da

#1 Metal Chic

Industrial chic has grown in popularity over the past years, and 2015 has been no exception. Using metallic colours to create a shimmery, industrial feel can immediately transform any home. This paint style works well for an accent wall in a contemporary space, and will allow you to be bold in your colour scheme.

#2 Shapes

If you really want to brighten your walls and make your personality shine through, there are a range of wall patterns you can choose from. Whether you go for stripes, squares, dots or a harlequin (diamond) pattern, the various colours can really help tie in your space’s overall colour scheme, or liven up a dull room.

#3 Brushed Pearl

This technique works well in a more traditional or country style space. The subtle shimmery look complements soft spaces, and can be created using either cool or warm colours. If you want to define a homely space, with lots of natural décor, the brushed pearl technique is for you.

#4 Sandstone

Whether your abode is contemporary, traditional or eclectic, this look complements any style! This technique creates a textured, sandstone finish on your wall that, when paired with the right colour, can really complete your space.

#5 Dragging & Linen Weave

If you really want to add a beautiful, textured finish to a contemporary, eclectic or modern space, this painting technique is what you’ve been looking for. By implementing this technique in the home, whether as a feature wall or all around, the dragging and linen weave technique is definitely one to consider.
