If you’re looking for a more creative look for your walls, consider one of the following techniques for a chic, modern, stylish paint job.

Stenciling

If you like the idea of a wallpaper-like design but don’t want to paper the walls, consider stenciling. Painting a repeated pattern on the wall with stencils makes an interesting focal point.

Metallic Paint

Metallic paint makes a big statement. It is best used in small rooms like a guest bathroom or a small powder room.

Strié Technique

This gives a room a sophisticated but subtle look by adding texture to the walls. Mix a satin base color with glaze and paint the wall in sections. Drag a wallpaper brush over the paint horizontally and vertically.
