modern paint techniques for 2013

A colourful wash is a great faux finish for the walls, try doing it as a band around the room instead of a whole wall.

Drip marks are fun and in a simply black and white, very classy.

This room features a beautiful Benjamin Moore paint technique, finished with vintage furniture...a romantic look.

For a funky modern look,  highlight a feature or area in a room with rolled out, rough edged design.

Visually expand the look of a room by using stripes or bands of colour.

Chevron is a very trendy pattern to use as a wall pattern. Stencils are easy and with a continuous pattern looks like wallpaper.

A feature wall of waves is so fluid and fun, great idea for a kids bedroom.

Ceilings are never to be forgotten, the perfect place for an unexpected pattern.
