Special painting effects

There’s little art in painting a room once you are well prepared, but if you’re the type who likes a challenge, then you might just feel like creating a more dramatic effect.

There are many different painting techniques used by professional decorators which you could try your hand at. The most well-known are rag rolling, sponging and colour washing.

Choose your colours carefully before undertaking any of these techniques. If you have decided on rag rolling, then pick out two colours which complement each other.
