Sometimes it is difficult to decide if the latest home design trends are something that will stick around or will you cringe at your new decor picks 6 months down the road? If you want to update your home and put a little of your style on display, decorative painting techniques may be just the right fit for your home.<\/p>\n

Painting a beautiful color on your walls can be a great refresher to any room. But what about taking it a step further? How about using a decorative painting technique with your beautiful new paint? If you think of your plain wall as an empty canvas, you are only limited by your imagination.<\/p>\n

Decorative painting techniques easy enough for anyone to try<\/h2>\n

These techniques can take an ordinary wall and turn it into a statement of style in your home:<\/p>\n

\"waves<\/p>\n

Waves<\/p>\n

Rather than stripes, get creative and add some rolling waves on your wall. You can use a couple of complementary colors for an even more eye-catching piece. This is a great way to tie in other colors from your room. There are stencils you can use for an outline. Or simply use painter\u2019s tape to create lines, or if you are particularly artistic, you can freehand it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"abstractAbstract<\/p>\n

Pick colors that contrast your wall to create a visual installation. Don\u2019t worry about patterns and symbols. You need not be too specific. By painting the colors in a random mish mash can create patterns that are pleasing to the eye. Think of uneven and intersecting lines, or a burst of color from the center of the wall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"paintersTape<\/p>\n

Painters tape is a great and cost efficient way to create an accent wall. Try using two or three different complementary colors already in your decor to create a beautiful, cohesive design for your accent wall. This is also a handy technique for a child\u2019s room. It adds whimzy to the room and you are able to paint right over it when your child outgrows this look and wants to redecorate.\u00a0 Painters tape can add all kinds of creativity to any room.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"typographyTypography<\/span><\/p>\n

Personalize your space with statements of typography. Paint a monogram on the wall for the kids\u2019 rooms. Use a quote or phrase to establish your mantra for the room. Pick something that speaks to you and remind yourself of it daily by putting it on the wall. Define spaces in your office with letters or numbers. This painting technique allows you to let your imagination run wild with ideas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"stripes<\/span><\/p>\n

Stripes<\/span><\/p>\n

Stripes are timeless and well received. They also offer a variety of looks. Go wide, thin, mix them, different directions, it\u2019s up to you. The possibilities of stripes are literally endless. Two colors is a great choice, but don\u2019t limit yourself. Highlight colors on a dark wall creates a rich effect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"chevronChevron<\/span><\/p>\n

Another variation of stripes, chevron is an easy and effective way to stylize an accent wall. Coordinate your color with the room or choose an accent that works with current pieces in the space. If you are feeling particularly creative, you can try to connect the chevron across two adjacent walls.<\/p>\n
