You are all set to paint your home but are not very impressed about the idea of using innovative ways to paint walls. There are many ways in which those paints can look stunning over your walls and make your walls look like they have been covered using fancy wallpaper when in reality it is plain wall paint. Read on to know how simple yet effective painting methods can change the look and feel of your walls. Stenciling: This home painting technique involves use of stencils to create motifs on walls which are then painted. The use of stencils in art isn’t new and has become a popular technique for painting too. You can create designs, figures, geometrical shapes and every possible thing over your walls and can make all of them of the exact shape and size only with the help of stencils. So if you are a perfectionist and want to bring it on to your walls as well, stenciling is the best option for your home. Dragging: In the drag painting technique, wall is coated with paint first and even before it dries there is another coat applied over it of a different hue. This leaves an interesting pattern over the walls that look unique and artistic. When using this technique, be sure about the hues you want to use, if you are using one dull colour make a bright coloured choice for the other paint so that the effect is visible. Dragging requires a high level of expertise and skill which a professional painter can get you. You can try doing it yourself too but if you aren’t confident enough, experts are just a call away. Combing: Using combing for wall painting can give you fantastic results. This technique makes use of combs to get the lining effect over the walls. Once the base coat is applied and dried comb is dipped in paint and applied over the painted wall, this is done depending upon the effect one wants to create. You can randomly do combing over the entire wall and make your own masterpiece or else you can use this technique brilliantly for making borders, divisions of walls etc. Vegetable painting: Using vegetables for painting purpose can be termed as an ancient technique but the awestruck results it can give are making heads turn even today. Cabbage painting is an easy and effective way to add textured look to walls. Just cutting the cabbage half and dipping it in paint and then on pressing the painted portion over the walls will give you a floral effect. Carving on vegetables like potatoes, lady fingers etc can let you get desired motifs on your walls. The ideas are unlimited all you need to do is look around your kitchen and create your own pattern.
