Do-it-yourself decorative painting of walls

Choice

Modern stores selling goods for repairs have a very wide range of paints, which complicates their choice. All paints are divided into 2 large groups: paints for interior and exterior works.

For painting walls and ceilings in the house, it is imperative to use paints for interior work - they are not toxic, practically do not have an unpleasant odor.

Water-dispersion paints are very popular and convenient for interior decoration. They, in turn, are divided into latex, silicone, vinyl and acrylic. These paints have many advantages: they support natural moisture exchange, are resistant to fading and abrasion.

The new generation of paints can easily tolerate even wall washing. A huge advantage of water-dispersion paints is the possibility of their tinting, which gives boundless scope for imagination. The same reason is also a minus - it is necessary to clearly calculate the amount of paint required for the work, otherwise when you re-hover paintwork with tinting paste, you can make a mistake with the color intensity.

Application of stencils

For textured painting of walls, it is permissible to use various stencils. There are many options.

Varieties

Today, many varieties of stencils are known. They differ in certain rules of application.

Thin vinyl

For the manufacture of a stencil, vinyl film of different densities is used. This is a fairly convenient device, the paint on which spreads evenly.

Polyvinyl chloride

The initial material differs in thickness of no more than a few millimeters. It allows you to cover the walls with plaster-based designs.

Combined

Such stencils involve the use of several shades. To obtain the correct pattern, markings are made on the templates.

Themes

When choosing a theme for a drawing, you should definitely take into account the purpose of the room.

Hallway

In the hallway, drawings are often made that help highlight the area of ​​the cabinet or mirror. Usually images are made symmetrical. However, you can apply an unusual pattern to the entire wall.

Kitchen

For this room, drawings related to food are suitable. These include fruits and vegetables, kitchen utensils. Flowers look good.

Children's room

Usually, children prefer images of cartoon characters, fairy tales and other objects that relate to their hobbies.

Bedroom

In this room, you should not use too bright shades with defiant contours.

It is important that the atmosphere is calm. Floral and geometric patterns, romantic prints work well

Living room

Symmetrical floral patterns are often used in the living room. You can also use images of animals or birds.

Some special examples

To choose the right pattern for the walls, you should use ready-made design solutions.

This is one of the most popular options for wall decoration.

Animals

Animal images are very popular with children.

Procedure

In order for the staining to be successful, it is worth following a number of recommendations during the procedure.

Printing and preparing a template

To achieve good results, you should first print the template. This is done using a conventional printer.

Then it is worth preparing materials and tools that will help carry out the staining.

Additional picture adjustments

Finally, the pattern is corrected.

How to make a DIY stencil for decorating

To make a stencil with your own hands, you need to take cardboard, pencil, knife, scissors. You will also need a flat table and masking tape.

Making a template is easy:

• print a suitable drawing;
• cut out its middle and edges;
• attach the workpiece to thick cardboard;
• press the paper well;
• outline the contour with a pencil;
• cut along the contour.

Creating an embossed pattern

There are many ways to create unusual embossed wall art. An excellent option would be to scratch out the drawing with accessible objects. First, paint the wall in the usual way. Then take a spatula and apply patterns to them.

The use of a thick stencil allows you to get three-dimensional images on the wall. These can be curbs or other decor. The paint is applied over a stencil, which is fixed to the wall.

Step-by-step instruction

The whole process includes 3 main stages: initial surface preparation, application of a primer layer and, in fact, painting.

The preparatory stage involves the following algorithm of actions:

1. Removal of old finishes.
2. Assessment of the general condition of the surface. It is possible to apply a textured coating even in the presence of minor defects, however, the irregularities should not be more than 2-3 mm. If there are serious damages and cracks, it is necessary to first putty them.
3. After the putty has dried, the surface of the walls must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and other possible contamination.

The next step is to apply a primer. This compound penetrates deep into the walls, providing a more reliable adhesion to the subsequent coating. It is recommended to apply the primer 2-3 times, while before applying each new layer, you must wait until the previous one is completely dry.

The final stage is the application of the paint coating

It is important to observe the following sequence here:

Preparation of the solution (it is important to strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations indicated on the package).
Delimiting a surface. The wall should be divided into several sections of about 2 square meters and only one specific section should be coated.
Highlighting decorative elements.
Application of a base coat in the form of acrylic or water-based paint (if you plan to create a multi-color coating, the base shade should be different from the main one).
Covering the walls with a basic, denser composition, giving the desired texture using special tools (embossed spatula, sponge, brush, etc.)

It is necessary to create a relief until the base layer is completely dry.
Application of a protective layer (varnish, wax), which will ensure the reliability and durability of the result.

Compositions for the kitchen, corridor and bathroom

Water-based acrylic and silicone paints are suitable for hallways and kitchens. They are abrasion resistant and washable. A pronounced relief in the kitchen will be inappropriate, so it will be more difficult to maintain cleanliness. And with mother-of-pearl stains, the room can be visually made more spacious.

But for the bathroom, you need to choose paints that are resistant to temperature and moisture. The options listed below are best suited for these purposes, but not for painting the walls in a room:

1. Alkyd. They resemble oil compositions in consistency, but differ greatly in their performance characteristics. Painted surfaces perfectly tolerate high temperatures, high humidity, ultraviolet radiation. Vapor permeability is average, can be applied to metal and wooden elements. Alkyd mixture can be matte, glossy, semi-matte. Among the disadvantages: it is diluted with organic solvents, which cause a characteristic pungent odor. An inexpensive option, but not particularly durable.
2. Silicate based. An excellent choice for the bathroom. Thanks to the special chemical composition, you do not have to worry that mold or mildew will form on the walls over time. The result is a durable and durable coating, very high vapor permeability. While the composition is drying, it is unhealthy - this is a big minus. Work in protective clothing.Silicates are not compatible with other types of coatings, so they are not applied to surfaces that have already been painted with other paints (it will need to be completely removed).

Painting design

There are a lot of options for painting the walls in the apartment. You need to find the right combination of colors, but this is often a matter of taste. But different methods of combined painting can significantly modify the home interior.

Horizontal division into zones

It is considered the traditional way. More often, the room is divided into two zones: the bottom is painted over with dark shades, and the top - with light shades. Classic: division in height into three parts. Here, the bottom is decorated with a dark shade, and the two upper parts of the walls - with light shades. If you want to decorate the walls with dark shades almost to the very ceiling, then you need to remember that such a technique will visually make the ceiling lower.

If the painting is done on its own, it is difficult to achieve the perfect border of the two colors. But you can decorate the flaws with the help of moldings. Or, before applying other colors, you can carefully glue masking tape along the entire length, helping yourself with a level. After staining, the tape is removed and a perfect line is obtained.

The use of moldings can be attributed to the classics, it is acceptable for country and ethnic styles. But the design with a shiny stripe or just clear borders is closer to hi-tech or minimalism.

Color accents

Accentuating a wall is a fashionable technique when decorating a room. One of the walls is highlighted in a different color. This is usually a darker tone for the background color, or a color that matches the background color. Both options look attractive with the right details. This is an easy way to transform your interior by making it brighter.

But in the bedroom, it is advisable not to use harsh combinations - there the atmosphere should be soft. Sharp contrasts look good in children's rooms, living rooms.

Stripes on the walls

Color type "Horizontal stripe" is appropriate when you need to pay attention to certain decorative elements. A fairly wide strip is placed at eye level

This technique is suitable for the hallway: as the ceiling height decreases, the corridor itself visually becomes wider.

Striped walls are also a very interesting design technique, but it's better not to use it throughout the room. But for accentuating one wall is fine. An interesting effect will be obtained by combining stripes of the same color, but different textures - glossy and matte.

Highlighting interior details is a technique that is used very often. Sometimes, some details are emphasized with a calmer or brighter color: frames, niches, space for placing a beautiful decorative shelf. A popular option is to circle the walls along the contour with a dark strip, highlighting all the corners. A small room will immediately become more spacious visually: it will "expand" both in width and height.

Peculiarities

Painting the walls in an apartment is popular among owners largely because they are able to perform such a procedure with their own hands. This does not require any special knowledge or skills - it is enough to have at least minimal experience with a brush (this should remain from the time of school) and follow the exact procedure for the result to come out both aesthetically attractive and durable.

If paint is used quite rarely for wall decoration in residential premises, then in household premises it is still very relevant. Correctly selected dyes withstand the effects of water, high temperatures and steam much better than even good wallpaper would do, while the painted surface is washed no worse than the tile, and is much cheaper.If necessary, repainting the walls for the sake of cosmetic repairs or updating the design is also not difficult - the procedure will take a maximum of a couple of days and, again, does not require outside help.

In general, wall painting is considered one of the cheapest solutions; a number of possible additional costs must be taken into account. First of all, it all depends on the readiness of the walls, because they must be even and clean, otherwise they will have to be leveled and cleaned from any dirt beforehand, which can lead to an increase in costs even several times. In addition, for better adhesion of paint to the wall, it is advisable to use soil mixtures, ideally in several layers, which also increases the cost of the project.

A separate cost item is the purchase of painting tools, if, of course, you cannot find them for free. First of all, you will need brushes, ideally two: a wide one for painting large spaces and a thin one for drawing small details and painting hard-to-reach places. If the latter are not so many, but the flat surface of the walls is large enough, it makes sense to purchase a paint roller, which will significantly speed up the process. It still needs to be chosen correctly depending on the type of wall surface: foam rubber for smooth surfaces, fur for rough ones. When buying a roller, you will definitely need a painting ditch - a special container with a raised bottom, which allows the painting surface of the instrument to be fully saturated with paint. If you need to provide a clear outline that separates surfaces of one color from surfaces of another shade, you cannot do without a special plastic spatula or masking tape.

This set of tools is typical, but not required or exhaustive. To simplify painting, a spray gun or even aerosol-type cans can be used to replace brushes and rollers. With a small area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe room and the use of paint without mixing shades, in some cases, they refuse from a drill with a mixer, replacing it with any available means like a stick.

If we talk about the amount of paint required to paint the walls in the house, then it must be carefully calculated in advance, because in case of a sudden lack of material, the work will have to be interrupted, and it’s also good if the pieces of the walls painted with the purchased mass do not differ in shade. Such calculations are performed according to a fairly simple formula, according to which you need to calculate the area of ​​all walls planned for painting. To do this, the height of each wall is multiplied by its width, and if there are several such walls, the areas of all walls are summed up. Although this area often includes window and door openings, they should not be subtracted to ensure that there is enough paint. Manufacturers in the instructions on the cans usually indicate the typical consumption of their products per square meter - it is enough to multiply this indicator by the area of ​​their walls, and also add 15% for insurance to get the amount of paint needed for painting in one layer. If multi-layer painting is planned, the required volume of material is multiplied by the number of layers.

Options and photos

The following are interesting options for work with a description and photos that will help you decide what is better to choose for wall decoration.

One color

The easiest and easiest way to dye, since the work is carried out in only two stages and does not require special skill skills. After all, the excess is shaded and the decorative layer is fixed.

1. First, the mortar is prepared and placed on the wall surface in an even layer.
2. Reliefs and grooves are painted over in several layers so carefully as to hide all visible excess. Thorough staining occurs with an ordinary roller. It must be rolled out over the entire surface evenly and with low pressure.
3. After the paint layer is completely dry, it is covered with a special protective varnish.

Roller painting occurs according to the usual scheme, which is easy to follow at all stages of work. Movements are carried out up and down, vertical stripes are applied overlapping until they are completely shaded. A more uniform application of paint occurs precisely with a spray gun.

In two colors

This method is good for embossed wall surfaces. The protruding parts can then be trumped by a different color scheme. Execution of work and technology consists in simple actions that even a beginner can perform. The three stages of work are as follows:

1. A base coat is applied to the prepared surface, that is, free from dirt, dust and debris. This is the main layer, which also serves as the background for the entire structure of the drawing. In this case, the coloring material is applied in a thick layer, but at the same time it is very evenly rolled out with a thick roller.
2. After drying, apply a second layer, but not with a roller, but with a special sponge. Paint is left with this sponge only on protruding wall surfaces. These are embossed parts or depressions that must still contain the base color.
3. The final (finishing) layer is applied to the finishing and dried coating.

A double shade can also be achieved by tinting. At the same time, a pigment dye is added to the primer, which creates the background color. The protruding parts are outlined with a contrasting shade. The effect after such work is just wonderful. It allows you to clearly see the pattern on the wall and surface protrusions that emphasize all the subtleties.

Dry brush

A similar method for applying two shades. The difference is only in the quantity and quality of the materials used. After the first coat has been pre-painted, the surface is not allowed to dry completely. Immediately after applying the base part, contrasting shades are highlighted with a special brush. They also select it depending on what shade they want to get.

Also, the choice of this tool affects the state of the highlight or throw effect. The smaller the brush, the less noticeable the effect.

Attention
For work, it is important to know one important point, namely: the brush should capture as little paint as possible in the tray. Light strokes will allow you to paint over the protruding parts of the embossed surface. At the same time, they will be painted in a different color.

In this case, they will be painted in a different color.

Contrasting colors are:

• sequins;
• gold;
• silver;
• bronze.

With a dry brush, you can make various pattern variations that will appeal to many apartment owners. This paint application is ideal for any room, including bedrooms, kitchens, hallways and even bathrooms.

Paint options for wall painting

In order to choose the right one, you need to know with what composition the floors were initially processed. For example, if the surface is covered with acrylic paint, then only the same option can be used for painting. This also applies to other types of water-based materials.

Accordingly, oil paints can be applied over alkyd enamels. It is better to first consult with a specialist.

Acrylic compounds

Acrylic paints are considered the best option for wall painting. Their demand is due to their ease of use, environmental safety, lack of unpleasant odor and quick drying. Thanks to this, they are used even in children's rooms. Acrylic paints initially fit well on walls, they are suitable for concrete, brick, wood.

With the help of such paints, it is possible to draw the texture of a tree or natural stone, convey the finest shades of flower petals, etc.

There are 2 main types of acrylic paints - with synthetic and organic pigments, but they are based on artificial resins. The difference is that metal salts are used to make synthetic pigments. They are safe to use, but always give brighter and more saturated colors. Therefore, if a master wants to make drawings in pastel colors, it is better to use formulations with organic pigments.

With the help of fluorescent paint, you can create interesting drawings for the children's room.

Fluorescent paints

Such mixtures create an interesting effect - the image applied with their help appears under the action of ultraviolet radiation directed at it, but only at night.

Considering all the features of such mixtures, they do not create detailed images with their help, limiting themselves to simple shapes and contours. These can be silhouettes of butterflies, flowers or animals, planets or mountainous terrain. Sometimes craftsmen use fluorescent paints to emphasize some details of painting made with other compositions.

Oil and screen paints

Stencils are a simple solution for creating ornaments.

Oil paints for wall painting are used less often. This is due to the fact that they have an unpleasant odor and are difficult to work with.

If the owners want to do the painting with their own hands, then it is better to refuse oil compositions. And professional artists use them often.

In addition, oil paints dry for a long time, the process is accompanied by an unpleasant odor.

So it is important to establish proper ventilation of the room.

But with the help of oil mixtures, you can create a detailed image with a drawing of many subtle and small elements. With acrylic materials, this effect cannot be achieved.

What is decorative wall paint and methods of applying it

Decorative paint is a paint that creates some visual effects. This group does not include conventional opaque monochromatic compositions. Only those that differ from them in some way. These formulations reproduce different natural materials. Silk, velvet, plush, sand, natural stone, leather, velor, etc. They are sometimes called decor paints, since it is not just a background, but an independent decorative element.

Decorative wall paint with a silk effect is a decorative element in itself

Most often, decorative paint is applied as usual - with a brush, roller or spray gun. If the texture itself is "rich", this is quite enough. The walls already look unusual. In this case, they are just a background. Beautiful, unusual stylish, but background.

Embossed rollers - easy and simple to get an unusual wall decor

To obtain more interesting surfaces, special application techniques are used. The simplest are embossed rollers. They break the monotony of paint by adding relief. There are other tricks as well.

• The applied paint is rubbed off. So from the "silk" paint you can get wet silk or plush.
• Partially wash off the paint with crumpled paper, a sponge, a piece of fur, plastic or metal notched spatulas, metal wool, etc.
• Pass from above with a semi-dry roller or a hard brush with a darker or lighter paint.
• Apply a plastic wrap to the painted piece, crumple it a little and remove it.

Some ways to get creative

In general, there are a lot of options. This process is completely creative and there are a lot of variations. And the result can be very different, even if you use the same paint.

Staining technique

If the suitable paint has already been chosen and everything is already clear with the style, then you need to know how to paint the walls yourself correctly. And even if each paint has its own characteristics in surface preparation and application, but often the process looks like this:

1. The old coating is removed first.This will determine how well the coloring composition will cover the surface. If the surfaces are compatible, then it is enough to remove only the exfoliated fragments, but if they are incompatible, you will have to clean off the entire old coating completely.
2. Next comes the putty of the walls using standard technology: a suitable composition is applied with a spatula, all irregularities and cracks are covered.
3. For grinding the surface, a special mesh is used, located on the holder, or sandpaper. All unnecessary is removed in a circular motion, the walls are leveled.
4. Then the surface must be thoroughly cleaned of dust after sanding. To do this, you can use a vacuum cleaner or simply wipe it with a dry rag a couple of times.
5. For each paint option, the primer is selected separately. It is better to buy it right away with the paint so that the consultants in the hardware store will recommend the best option. You cannot do without priming: it will improve the adhesion of the composition to the surface, thereby reducing its consumption.
6. Next comes the painting itself. It is produced in several layers: first from top to bottom, then from right to left. Each new layer should be applied only after the previous one has dried. The instructions for the composition indicate how long it will dry.

There is nothing difficult in making cosmetic repairs with your own hands. The paint is simple to work with and the finish is smooth and attractive. A wide selection of color palettes and different textures allows you to choose a finishing material for a certain style direction, which is planned to withstand in the room during the renovation.

What is this material

Textured paint is produced in the form of a thick viscous mass based on an acrylic, mineral or silicone binder, which includes fillers that give the surface a relief. It can be colored or white. Mineral compositions for finishing facades can also be sold in the form of a free-flowing mixture, which is diluted with water.

For reference. In the white version, mainly water-soluble paints are produced, which can be independently tinted using special pigments.

Samples of textures created with textured paint

The walls already finished with it are difficult to distinguish from those on which decorative plaster and ordinary paint are applied. That is, the effect is almost the same, but do-it-yourself textured paint is applied much easier and faster.

Types and sizes of filler

By the type of particles included in the composition of the paint for density and relief, they are subdivided into compositions with the following fillers:

• Granite or marble chips;
• Crushed gas silicate;
• Quartz sand;
• Particles of metal with reflective properties;
• Sawdust;
• Natural and synthetic fibers.

They can also include modified starch and other thickeners, as well as special pigments that give the coating a silk or mother-of-pearl effect. In shape, these particles are most often scaly or teardrop-shaped.

Fillers of different fractions

And the depth and severity of the future relief depends on their size:

• Fine-grained paints include paints with a filler diameter of up to 0.5 mm;
• To medium-grained - 0.5-1 m;
• For coarse grains - 1-2 mm.

Application area

Like all other paints and varnishes, textured paints, depending on the composition, can be used for both external and internal work. Therefore, before buying, you need to familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's recommendations.

As for the type of base on which they can be applied, these are:

• Wood;
• Plaster;
• Concrete;
• Brick or masonry.

Manufacturers and prices

Despite the fact that this material is relatively new, it is produced by many manufacturers.

Among them, the following brands are especially popular:

The price depends on many factors: the type of binder and filler, the presence of unique additives, color, manufacturer. It is rather difficult to announce the average cost, since the spread is large.

For reference. For example, a 20-kilogram can of Prorab Sandeco textured paint from Bayramiks costs about 1,500 rubles. The same amount of SuperDecor paint from Baltikolor will cost 4000 rubles. And Arabesco from Clavel is already 9400 rubles.

Paint Superintendent Sandeko (Bayramiks)

If you want to save money or create something of your own, there is a way to make textured paint with your own hands. To do this, add clean sawdust, granite chips or quartz sand to the acrylic paint. The latter are sold in hardware stores. But select the original composition carefully, taking into account where you plan to use - on the facade or in the interior.

Expert advice

Experts advise to adhere to the basic instructions and not deviate from the instructions on the packaging. In addition, every owner who decides to perform such a responsible job should remember that adherence to all the nuances will affect the outcome of the work.

The recommendations are as follows:

It is good to use acrylic-based facade paints for work.

They are durable, but it is important to remember that the walls must be well primed beforehand. If necessary, you can primer in two or even three layers.

Give preference to proven brands that have been on the market for a long time and have won the favor of consumers

In this case, you will be completely confident in the quality and reliability of the formulations. In addition, good paints are durable.

Do-it-yourself painting of decorative plaster can be done without problems both indoors and outdoors. Work begins with surface preparation. If the walls have recently been plastered, you must wait until they dry completely, then clean them of dust and debris.

A dye of one shade is applied to the plastered walls. For this purpose, water-based paint is used, with which the treated area is covered.

It is advisable not to use paints of different composition, as they may not suit each other in different parameters. Drying rate is the most common case.
If one paint dries within 30 minutes, and a pattern from another paint applied on top - in 15, then such paint will quickly come off the base, since it will not have time to properly distribute before drying.

Before choosing paint for painting decorative plaster you should pay attention to its expiration date. It is better not to take a base that has a few days left before the expiration date
This will save time, which can then be spent on additional work, and will also help you not to worry about the quality of the purchased material.

When working with a roller, staining is done in vertical stripes. Each subsequent strip is rolled with an overlap of a few centimeters to the previous one. For uniform coloring of the wall with a wide brush, the coating is applied first with vertical movements, then overlapped with horizontal ones. You can also paint the wall first with a thick layer of paint with a brush, and then spread it evenly over the surface with a roller.

Painting of decorative plaster is quick enough. The simple and important point is choosing the right paint and its correct proportions. Even a beginner in this business can quite cope with painting plaster at home or on the site.

What tools can you work with

What the finished surface will eventually turn out depends not only on the type of paint and varnish material, but also on how to apply it. Many formulations come with an instruction manual. But for most of the textured paintwork, you can use a variety of tools. Thanks to this, it is possible to obtain varieties of textures that differ from each other:

roller (standard). Driving it evenly over a fresh layer of paint, you can get an attractive-looking rough texture;

The variety will depend on the material of the roller (foam rubber or fur).

• roller (curly). This is a special roller with a convex pattern. It is often used for two-tone dyeing. The first layer of paint becomes the background, and the paint of a different color is already applied to the roller pattern. If processed from floor to ceiling, you can get decorative painting of the walls instead of wallpaper;
• crest. With it, you can get a clear pattern if you just drive it over the paint you just applied. But this method is rarely chosen;
• brush / brush. Having applied the composition to an area of ​​one and a half to two "squares", you need to take a brush or a wide brush with stiff bristles and drive over the paint, creating patterned lines. You can choose whatever direction you like;
• crumpled paper, crumpled cloth. With their help, you can apply a chaotic pattern with short, stamping movements;
• rubber gloves. A non-standard tool, but also used quite often. Mostly by artists who prefer to paint with their fingers on the walls;
• putty knife. The first step is to apply a thin layer of paint to the wall. Then use a spatula to make rare and rather rough strokes. The last of the methods of application is used by beginners quite rarely due to its complexity.

Working with textured compositions, you can not be afraid of experiments. For example, apply strokes of different colors or shades to the surface, and then blend them with a sponge. Thus, you can get a completely new pattern. However, it is worth considering that no more than a quarter of an hour should be spent on any decor. Then the paint and varnish material begins to dry out and it becomes more difficult to work with it.

Therefore, professionals advise to treat surfaces in parts or work in pairs - one applies the background, the second decorates.

How to apply paint correctly

To paint the walls, you should do the following:

1. Pour the paint into a suitable container, mix thoroughly with a mixer and, if necessary, add color and water. Pour the required amount of paint into a tray and carefully roll the roller. Saturate it with paint and squeeze out excess on the surface.
2. Start painting from the corner. First, paint is applied to areas that have recently been putty. They also process corners and areas around sockets, doors, switches.
3. For 1 time it is worth painting about 1 square meter and applying 3 strips of paint. Spread evenly over the entire area with a wrung out roller.
4. Apply 2-3 coats of paint. In this case, the drying of the previous one can not wait.
5. When painting in different shades, it is worth waiting for the main layer to dry - this takes 2-3 days.
6. Make decorative effects with a sponge, bag or roller.

Types of decorative paints

First you need to realize that paint for decoration is significantly different from ordinary paint. Using this paint, you can achieve unique visual effects. But craftsmen know how to decorate with ordinary cheap materials, and can achieve an exclusive look.

Today, the following main options for decorative paints can be distinguished:

1. Pearlescent. The wall from using this type of paint becomes silk. When viewed from different angles, the tint of the walls will change.
2. Velvet. It has several shades of different small fractions. Thanks to this decoration, the walls are visually deep with a slight shade of velvet effect.
3. Mosaic. Such decoration can be done exclusively with a spray gun. A similar effect is formed due to the spreading of small bubbles of paint when it hits the wall surface, forming textured inclusions. This type of paint imitates granite with great accuracy.

In addition to the above options, there are a huge number of decorative paints with different textured inclusions, for example, glaze, enamels, etc. If your budget is very limited, then any of the proposed options is suitable for decorating walls.
