Try Decorative Painting Patterns To Spruce Up Old Walls

By Jose Turner


Decorating spaces can be a fun task if a person is creative or has a vision for a space in their home. Unless they already have a knack for drawing or painting, they may want to practice before tackling a large decorating project. To get the symmetry they desire decorative painting patterns are often used to ensure continuity.

Most people find that using a pattern is a lot more effective than using masking tape on walls or objects. This is especially true when tackling projects alone, as it helps to have a measuring tool to ensure even spacing. Although some may want to use painters tape to create a complementary border for a design, this is better for those who are more experienced.

Most people would go with a favorite color but sometimes using a combination of colors is the most fun. Let us say that the color scheme of a room is hot pink, navy blue, and pale yellow. Assuming that the blue will be the base color throughout the room, the colors used in the pattern may use blue as the accent color instead.

When decorating for self, there are few rules or limitations but the idea is to keep things as simple so the final product is visually appealing. If a person has a vision but no patience to paint long strokes, a pattern or template is the perfect tool to use a number of painting methods. These can range from the speckle effect to sponging, which is also great when using more than one color.

When using an item to bring color to space, it may help to go with something that gives a little contrast. Vibrant colors like fire engine red, magenta, and royal blue can give neutral or earth tones a nice pop. In most cases, if the item is large enough, it does not require a lot of accompaniments, such as picture frames or Bric a Brac throughout. Perhaps matching another item that is large or medium in size, like an area rug, is ideal for simple decor hacks.

Choosing the right coloring medium is essential to the overall design. Most people find that acrylic and watercolor paints are best for beginners, as these are easy to correct or simply paint over. Oil crayons come in an array of colors and are easy to use but leave a permanent mark on most surfaces. Mediums made from oil can also stain all surfaces that come in contact so protection of skin and other objects is advised.

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.

Some people may find that their new painting skills can be applied to different rooms throughout the home. With some practice, they will find they can change the look of a room in less than one day. These paint methods can also be used for objects that may not look the best but are still functional. Once people get the hang of the painting process, they may find they can sell their goods online or at live craft shows in their area.
