Try Decorative Painting Patterns To Spruce Up Old Walls

By Jose Turner


When it comes to giving a room more visual appeal, it is common to have great ideas but unsure as to where to start. Often a person may read about renovating a room in a weekend the easy way or for less money than hiring a professional. The truth is that unless a person is very organized and familiar with using certain materials and tools, this is not always possible. What helps most is to start with the basics and make progress from there. For instance, decorative painting patterns may be used to give walls a new life.

Using a pattern, as opposed to masking tape, to create designs is one of the easiest ways to create consistency of the design throughout. Even simple patterns, such as basic lines or circles, should have a guide or template. While masking or painters tape may be less expensive, an amateur would still have to use a tape measure to ensure that everything is even.

What most people like when creating something new is the colors. When making functional items or just a simple image to frame, using a combination of favorite colors is probably the highlight of the project. Although it can take a moment to get the perfect blend, using a pattern can make this process a lot easier.

Using various colors on a project can either enhance it or give it a psychedelic look. The latter can be fun in a room that is either neutral or uses at least two of the main colors when creating home decor. For those who do not care much for the traditional painting process, other techniques like sponge painting can be effective without a lot of worry about formality.

Choosing color combinations for a room may be personal preference, or if a person wants to have a professional look, using a color wheel is a great idea. Many that are found online explain how colors are grouped together and how these groups can be used together. There are also art and decor magazines that can be of assistance.

A fast way to use patterns or templates in decorating is to use textured finish paint. These combine a number of colors and designs that can simply be sprayed on most surfaces. Depending on what is being covered, it helps to read the directions carefully before buying. Some surfaces may require a primer or other preparation for better adhesion.

It also helps the new user to experiment with color combinations. While going with traditional colors may be safe, going outside the norm may be more exciting. Flowers, landscapes, and shapes should not be restricted to primary or secondary color groups. Trying unusual color families like fluorescents, shimmers, and iridescent can make a nice accent to simple design patterns.

Using these tools can also be applied to the flea market or yard sale items, old furnishings, or items that are being repurposed. While it helps to have a vision, some people have more fun creating as they go along. Even if it takes longer than a few hours, it is about making something that will look nice.
