Texture painting of walls
Texture painting of walls is used to give them relief and create a bright accent in the interior. When carrying out work, it is possible to use various technologies with which you can transform any room in accordance with your taste.
When using texture painting technology, the surface does not need to be leveled, thus replacing a certain section of the wall is possible at any stage.
Below are practical tips that will help you quickly and efficiently decorate your walls, while getting an excellent result.
Preparatory work
To get the best result, before starting work, the walls are plastered in one layer, good are being cleared, then covered with paint on an emulsion basis. Texture paint is applied to the surface in three ways.
- The wet method is to use fabric.
- Dry method - using a brush.
- And the last method is the rolling technology of “rolling” textured fabric along the wall or ceiling in the same direction.
Texture painting technology:
- To begin with, the walls are cleaned of old paint, all cracks are sealed, the putty area is sanded, after which the surface is coated with a special primer.
- Next, to create a tint, a base coat of paint is applied. Typically, acrylic paint in light colors (light gray, beige or white) is used for this. The paint is applied with a regular roller, which can be purchased at any hardware store.
- After application, you need to wait for the paint to set and only then begin to create painterly textures.
- The glaze is applied to the wall using a brush, pressing the ends of the bristles into the fresh coating, so that a clear structural mark remains on the surface. To ensure that the deep pattern is not blurred, it is recommended to clean the bristles of the brush as often as possible.
- Depending on preferences, the brush can be replaced with fabric, the fibrous structure of which will change the texture of the wall, giving it an interesting and unpredictable pattern. Particular attention should be paid to the corners; they must be perfectly even. For joint finishing it is best to use small brushes.
- After the glaze has completely dried, it is necessary to apply several layers of varnish or cover the surface with a transparent glaze without texturing it. It is recommended that two people work together to process a strip from floor to ceiling in one step.
Even amateurs can do this type of work, but achieving an excellent result will require perseverance and patience.
Wall photo gallery
Decorating one of the walls with photographs brings a feeling of family unity into the interior, creates a special mood, awakening the kindest and brightest feelings.
These can be large portraits, genre scenes or ordinary shots captured from everyday life. A collage looks great, allowing you to fit many images into it. If desired, it can be made themed, dedicating it to a significant event, anniversary, or one of the family members.
Volumetric photographs are an elegant addition to a modern interior
Photos in frames different sizes and shapes give the interior a modern dynamism. For example, what makes a space more conservative and static is decorating the wall with rectangular frames, which are arranged strictly horizontally in one or several lines. What unites this composition into a single whole is the color shade of the frames.
You can move away from the usual way of placing photographs by decorating the wall with a stylized image of a trunk, successfully placing portraits of household members on its branches, creating a whole family tree.
Photographs that are not framed, but pasted onto thick cardboard in rich colors that echo the color motifs of other items will help add sophistication and uniqueness to the interior. They are fixed on stretched cords, fishing line, chains.
Wise quotes, important wishes, monograms written on high-quality thick paper in an elegant font and framed with a gilded frame will be emphasized and romantic. They are placed next to photographs or on an adjacent wall, thus creating a space permeated with rhythm.

In order not to disturb the harmony, the color scheme of the facade planes is selected to match the overall style of the interior. The color stylized as noble marble looks advantageous.
Frames as a decorative element
Frames from which glass is removed, cardboard is painted in bright colors or removed altogether can create an amazing world of aesthetics. The material and color scheme of the frame are selected to match the specific style of the room.
- Strictly shaped rectangular products made from noble wood species will easily fit into the classic surroundings.
- In Provence style it looks harmonious with smooth lines and rounded corners.
- For eclecticism, you can choose frames of the same shade, but of various shapes and configurations.
Another option for wall decor would be a single frame shape, but with a different color and texture of the material.
Empty frames are arranged in various combinations and shapes. They can create strict horizontals, verticals, and move diagonally. Geometric shapes or dynamic curved lines are created from small frames.
An interesting stylish image arises if several frames are fixed on one image, breaking it into several fragments.
Use of paintings
It is possible to create a certain mood with the help of paintings, which have long been a win-win option wall decoration.
Wall decoration in style will be supported by images with clear, ordered lines on an achromatic background. They should have a simple frame without unnecessary decorative elements.
Important! If several small posters are selected, they are aligned along one line.
The noble, ancient Provence style presupposes the presence of paintings depicting idyllic village landscapes or genre scenes, and frames stylized as solid wood with impeccable varnishing and carving will add greater attractiveness to the interior.
A touch of modernity is brought into the interior by modular paintings, which allow you to create compositions in accordance with your own preferences. Red furniture and black and white paintings combine stylishly. For those who prefer calm, elegant solutions, floral motifs in beige tones will suit them.
Mirror fantasies
Mirrors are held in special esteem by designers, especially when decorating the interior, since with their participation the space visually expands. When fixed under the ceiling along the entire perimeter of the wall, a mirrored border creates the impression of a significant increase in the height of the room.
You can bring a feeling of celebration and freshness into the room if you place small mirrors on a free section of the wall, framed by frames stylized as aristocratic marble or mysterious malachite. They are placed randomly or in a clear order. The free layout brings speed and makes the interior more dynamic.
- A beautiful carved frame with gilding turns the mirror into a bright accent of a classic interior.
- For rooms designed in high-tech style, mirrors are framed with a narrow chrome strip.
- The eco-style is supported by deliberately rough bamboo or wooden frames.
Soft decor
Soft panels allow you to create an expressive image of a room and bring coziness and comfort into it. Their surface is made of textiles, leather or faux fur. Eco-friendly padding adds volume.
Such decorative elements are most often used to decorate the wall at the head of the bed.

Often, extraordinary techniques for decorating a room with your own hands become the main highlight of the entire interior. But here it is important to take into account the style and design of the room: futuristic objects are a very dubious decoration for an English-style living room, wooden pallets with inscriptions in the rhythm of Provence are not suitable for the interior of a high-tech kitchen, just as aluminum plates are unlikely to fit into an elegant Art Deco. When trying to create sophisticated eclecticism, you can easily make a mistake. It is very important to think through everything in advance, namely the location and fastening of decorative elements.
We invite you to consider interesting solutions for the room, in addition to paintings, posters and photos. However, let's not forget about them either.
Window as a decorative element of the interior
A window mounted into a wall, which serves as an interior partition, is a rather extraordinary method of dividing space. Such a solution will not only become the main decoration of two zones at the same time, but will also allow more natural light to pass from one room to another.
A window frame can also be an extraordinary independent art object. Hang it on the wall or place it on the console - this technique will radically transform the atmosphere, adding lightness and elegant charm to it.
An aged wooden frame with a large number of sections looks very colorful. It’s easy to make such a decorative item yourself at minimal cost.
A decorative window frame can not only serve as a decoration for a room, but also be a functional piece of furniture. So, mirrors with glazing like a window frame look quite interesting. A clear example is shown in the photo of the bedroom interior.
Door against the wall
In addition to windows, used old doors can become an unexpected decoration for the walls of a room. A sophisticated idea is to hang on them something obvious in traditional wall decoration, for example, paintings, panels, photographs.
Large scale panels
Decorating a room with a three-dimensional panel is an excellent opportunity to show your creative imagination. Here, try experimenting with textures, colors, materials and other components.
The dimensions of the decorative panel must be correlated with the square footage of the room and the load on all other walls. A large panel in a small room will look ridiculous: after all, its texture and color sometimes consume the space. Please note that panels and wallpaper are two different things! The larger the panel, the brighter its role in the home interior, the more neutral the adjacent walls should be.
Take a fresh look at ordinary material. An old metal sheet suspended on a chain will become an original and extraordinary backing for a poster or photographs.
Squares from sections of simple fiberboard, painted with stain and silver (by the way, you can safely use painting and stencils) will be beautiful in the form of panels. In this presentation, it will fit perfectly into the luxurious industrial loft style.
You can also easily decorate one of the living room walls with your own hands. The composition of impressive large-scale tiles captivates with its originality and simplicity. You can fantasize about this topic endlessly.
Look how the tic-tac-toe on the accent wall unobtrusively spreads its playful mood throughout the room.
Panels with 3D effect
A recent fashion trend for multi-dimensional decorative elements is rapidly gaining popularity. The 3D panels presented in the next photo literally attract the attention of others. Reasonable prices allow many to purchase such panels for decoration, while the texture and pattern can be chosen to suit your taste. There are many design options: engravings, plaster bas-reliefs, compositions from various multidimensional details.
Do not forget about the fragility of such products. Installing and transporting them is very difficult, but the visual result is worth it.
Decorating a room with shelves
Shelves in a room can serve not only as a functional piece of furniture, but also as a creative decoration in the room. It is important that the shelves contrast in color with the wall. Think carefully about how to fill them beautifully and harmoniously - half-empty shelves create a feeling of some imperfection in the interior. Excellent decorative contents will include candles and lamps, hourglasses, original book holders, and colorful ceramics.
An even greater decorative effect will be created by cute compact shelves of non-standard shapes (triangles, multifaceted cells, unnatural angles).
Posters and paintings
Decorating a room with paintings, photographs and posters is perhaps the most common decor today. In order for the result to live up to expectations, to look decent and unique, you need to carefully select the elements of fine art.
Show your imagination, choose a non-standard approach: frame herbariums of plants instead of painted still lifes, tin panels and retro-style posters instead of flowers on canvas, pencil sketches of animals instead of waterfalls and beaches.
If you still decide to purchase something unique, buy paintings at exhibitions, special sites or on trips abroad.
Photos can be designed in a completely non-standard way.
Unusual Attributes
Giant letters in inscriptions, quotes in posters, deer antlers - all these objects are so often found in interiors that today we would hardly like to see them again. But even from these seemingly familiar details you can create an original combination in your own way. You just need to interpret them skillfully.
So, for example, a composition of five medallions with deer antlers already looks unusual, and inscriptions made in a non-standard font and placed on atypical canvases (not in rectangular frames, but at least in a hexagon) are perceived completely differently.
More ideas for do-it-yourself room decor are presented in the bright selection in the photo.
