Some people are there whose sense of style and vision for interior décor cannot be satisfied with plain, simple painting on walls. A number of ways are there to feed their sense of style. Textured paint and faux finish are two of those techniques that can add texture and tone to liven up the interior of any home.

Highlighting key areas for your faux finishing:
Textured painting and faux finish are very effective in highlighting a specific space or creating drama in a rather insipid room. They are also an excellent choice to be used as a backdrop for a precious set of photographs or a prized work of art. In fact, by using texture techniques, you can transform a wall into a piece of art like a realistic image or a mural.

It is very easy to lose control while creating a dramatic texture. However, overdoing will be painful for both eyes and mind if the result remains before your eyes for 24 hours. Instead of exaggerating, try enhancing the existing character of a room with these painting techniques. For example, instead of using textured painting to all the walls of your living room, choose the chimney breast as the spot for a textured feature wall. Brick or stone texture in this place will create a wonderful contrasting effect against elaborate floral wallpaper.
Choose Colors Carefully
The textured wall can be painted by using the same shade as the other walls. However, a mix of contrasting colors will help creating a dramatic effect. For example, a yellow textured wall in a beige room or lilac texture in a pale blue space will enable the textured wall to advance visually.

Textured paint offers more options than the basic flat sheens, satin, or eggshell. It is also good for hiding blemishes of the surface, which may be not possible with normal paints. In addition, adding texture to the walls is an effective way to add flair and another dimension to a paint job.
