Description
An informative volume on decorative techniques, offering ideas on how to revitalize your old walls, create an eye-catching or simple background, or merely add a touch of visual interest to your room, this title serves as a comprehensive guide to decorating, disguising and transforming your walls. Walls define a room and mark out separate zones within a home. In addition, they are also blank canvases that can define or enhance a room design, and we are now beginning to pay them due attention and consideration. Alongside this is a revival of decorating techniques and styles that, until recently, were thought of as old-fashioned and fussy paint techniques such as sponging, colour washing, textured cork tiles, and, at the forefront, wallpaper. "Wall Effects" shows you how to use these techniques with confidence and style and in a contemporary manner.
