Faux Finishes
By Terri Oh
A little planning and thought can prove to be beneficial time-wise during the holidays.
There are many new and innovating finishes for walls. Trying to figure out which one is right for you can be confusing and scarey, especially if you have never tried this before. When contemplating this kind of a job, there are a few things to consider first.
Picture the room you want to do.
What kind of feel do you want?
What is your style?
How much time are you willing to put into this project?
It all sounds so easy in the brochures. Directions look like they will just walk you through it easily enough, yet these applications can prove to be very time consuming and labor intensive, not to mention expensive in a large room.
Take sponging for example. Corners are very hard to blend. If not done correctly they will spoil the whole effect.
My suggestion would be to think small until you find out if this is something you can do well. A bathroom or hallway may be a better place to start out on. Even one anchor wall in a room can give you a dramatic effect. If you find this is something that's right for you, you can always continue around the room.
With the holidays fast approaching, minimal time and effort is a plus. Always remember, if you don't like it you can always paint over it. Re-painting one wall or one small room is easier than a large room.
Good Luck!
