Are your walls plain and sans glam? Are a person who always desires about a posh living room? Did you ever think about the different decorative wall painting techniques, like sponging, ragging, stenciling or stamping? You actually do not need any kind of experience to do it yourself economically and make your room look grand with any of the following quick decorative wall painting techniques.

Picking a color scheme for the walls, is the first thing you need to do before getting started with painting. Most of the painting styles, use two shades on one color for any design. If the one you are choosing uses two shades as well, pick your base color darker than usual, as your top coat which is a lighter color will make your base coat light as well.

To sponge or rag a wall, paint the base color first and let it dry fully. Then, dip your sponge or rag into the lighter paint color and sponge or drag the lighter color over the base coat until you are satisfied with the effect. Keep repeating the procedure until the entire wall is done.

If you are thinking about using a more advanced decorative painting technique such as stenciling or stamping, you may just want to create a wallpaper effect bystamping or stenciling a simple design over your base coat. Also if you wish to go further with this and use stencils or stamps to create a faux brick or stone wall follow few simple steps. First, coat your walls with the color of your pick for the mortar between the bricks or stones. Immediately after the base coat is dry, stamp or stencil your bricks or stones over the base coat. When the brick or stonework is dry, sprinkle little darker color over your faux art to give it depth and make it appear more realistic.Doing faux effects such as making your walls look like it’s made off plaster or suede makes the room unique from the others. Paint bases that automatically give a suede or textured effect to the walls are a shortcut that even artists use to create fun finishes.
