Description
The Paint Effects Manual is the ultimate reference for home decorators wishing to do something a little out of the ordinary- all in one chunky volume. With one hundred different paint effects, each clearly illustrated with step-by-step instructions, there is a finish for every room, whether contemporary or traditional. The simple, logical structure and handy spiral-bound format makes selecting the right finish straightforward and means you can concentrate on painting, rather than looking for what you need. The core paint effects section is divided into five categories: Working with Colour, Textured Effects, Traditional Finishes, Metallics and Patterns and Motifs. Each has twenty stunning paint effects, large swatches and easy-to-follow instructions.
