Wall Texture Ideas
Many people have spent years in apartments without the option of painting their walls the colors they want. Those with families know that children want to have walls in their rooms that represent how they feel about life, whether it be a simple color scheme or textures and designs. And it's not limited to children; many adults - especially after they finally get that first house - like to add character to the walls, but don't know how it will look after it's all finished. Popular themes range from simple trim along the tops of the walls to full scenes that take up entire walls or rooms. There are so many avenues to choose, and the following is a brief list of options the artist in you has.
Aged Leather: This can really add some class to your walls. The Aged-Leather look can fit in perfectly in your home office or library, giving it a classy if not intellectual feel to it.
Swirl Texture: Many people start small with the swirl approach. Subtle little designs that go nicely in corners can show people that you have an artistic side to you. Interestingly, these subtleties often end up being added upon, until the swirls aren't quite as subtle anymore, encompassing much of the wall space.
Parchment Stripes: Parchment Stripes can also bring an intellectual feel to your home. If used sparingly - certainly not in every room - they can also be a calming design. Parchment Stripes typically fit best in bedrooms, especially if one has a glamorous style of bedding, as they complement each other quite well.
Venetian Walls: Arguably one of the most popular wall themes, Venetian Walls bring a classic, rich feel to any home. If done right, you can feel as if you're stepping into another country, one that is rich in both art and culture.
Full Scenes: This one is especially successful in children's rooms. When children are young, they typically keep a few interests for more than a year or two. For example, little girls often like princesses between the ages of three and seven. If you hire the right contractor to do the job well, she can have a full scene of princess, chariot, and beautiful dresses to wake up to every day. The same goes for adults, especially in a sitting room where you entertain guests. Popular themes range from a full beach setting to the classic waterfall or spring, right in the middle of the woods.
