Textured Painting

Textured painting refers to the type of painting that uses paint and other materials such as sand, ribbon, metal, lace and wood. Textured painting stimulates different senses including site and touch. Art has four types of textures; simulated texture, invented texture, actual texture and abstract texture.

Textured painting may refer to how the painting looks like and how it feels when touched. It may be associated with heavy build up of paint, the impasto effect or the addition of materials.
It is possible to create visual effect of the texture without necessarily adding texture. One can create an interesting texture by adding alternate materials so as to create interesting texture. Invented texture is objective even though it may appear abstract.

Textured painting can be used to create a wood-grain appearance. Tools such as trowel may be handy when you want to attain the desired visual effect. One may also use special rollers to attain the desired effect. Retail Store Painting is a commercial painting contractor that specializes in all types of painting .

Textured Painting applications

If you are looking forward to updating the walls of your home, using textured paint makes it easy to achieve the desired results. It is inexpensive and will give your walls a new look. In modern houses, textured painting is used instead of wallpapers. It is the easiest way to cover imperfect and uneven walls. This is why it has become the most popular trend in home décor. There are many beautiful styles that have been invented as house owners attempt to do the project by themselves.

Textured painting comes with a few options. We have the premised form which contains gravel particles that looks grainy. This paint can be applied on ceilings because it is not easy for the ceilings to be closely scrutinized.

There is the variety that comes in a bucket. This paint is thick and smooth. It requires special application tools such as knives and trowels. Once the paint has been applied, it gives the walls a tucco appearance. Available in stores is an agent that can be applied to control the roughness and smoothness.

If you want to achieve the best textured look, it is recommended that you purchase high quality paint. You are free to choose between durable synthetic resin and flat finish latex. The latex paints are ideal on ceilings since they do not require a primer. They are durable and will easily cover the seams and make the wall dry.

If you want to obtain a high quality textured finish, you can use metallic finishes that are silver, copper and gold in colors. This is one of the options that will create a glossy and a shiny presence.

You can also use textured paint to create a faux finish. The most common ones include the marble, wood or stone. These materials easily add the required depth and texture. The technique may require that you use additional sponges, trowels and special rollers.

If you don’t know the paints that can give you the best textured results, visiting paint stores could be ideal.

Wall Paint Colors can affects our mood, our opinions and senses and their powerful and unusual influence releases emotions, encourages imagination and improves perception. There is no doubt that colors can inspire us, calm us and fill us with energy. Of course, sometimes they can make us feel upset and anxious. That’s why choosing the right wall paint colors for certain rooms plays a vital role in case we want to feel good while playing, working or resting. It is true that each individual has their own favorite spectrum of colors that makes them feel relaxed and comfortable, but it always a good idea to analyze the most commonly used colors and find out which color and shades will match your personality. Colors are linked to our emotionality, aesthetic preferences and they are often described as carriers of general and subjective symbols. According to the method of treatment known as chromotherapy some colors have therapeutic properties.

The perception of any space can be changed completely depending on the wall colors that can optically change the dimensions in that space making it deeper, narrower, bigger, smaller, wider, higher or lower. Colors add atmosphere to the rooms and by making combinations the space can be emphasized or “hidden”.

Many experts suggest leaving the ceilings in white color no matter what shade of white you will choose because the ceilings reflect the light most intensively and make the space higher. A ceiling that is painted in black or dark colors will significantly reduce the light and no matter how much lighting you add the space will produce an effect of a falling ceiling. A ceiling painted in some intensive color will “suffocate” the area.

The interior design can be divided into two basic styles – classic and modern. No matter what kind of interior design you choose, you must select adequate wall colors. For example, if you choose a classic design you should choose an “antique” color.

Light wall paint colors

This type of paint color is recommended in areas where there is not enough natural light and in smaller spaces. Simple white walls that can be seen after a regular painting leave a dull impression. On top of that, they can become dirty really easy and they are difficult to clean. That’s why if you want to have white walls, experts suggest choosing some shade of white color – crystal white or vanilla or white coffee shade. These colors contain elements that provide freshness and softness, they cannot become dirty easily and they are easy to clean.

Dark wall paint colors

One of the major misconceptions is that dark wall paint colors reduce the space. Dark colors actually absorb light and that’s why you need to make sure to add adequate lighting if you are planning to paint your walls with darker colors. Dark colors are not recommended in small rooms, but keep in mind that there is always a room to paint at least one of the walls with darker colors. You can paint all other walls in lighter colors and use your favorite violet (for example) color on only one of the walls.

No matter if we choose one color to be dominant in the space or we decide to include several colors in our home, it is very important to keep a harmonic relation between the colors. Retail Store Painting has expert salespeople that can assist you in choosing colors that are right for you and we offer free estimates for all of our commercial painting services.
