Painting of premises. We paint the walls ourselves with decorative paint Ways of painting walls

Is it possible to do decorative painting of the walls by hand? Of course, this is a completely affordable way to update and decorate the interior in all respects. To accomplish this task, almost any paints and varnishesdesigned for interior decoration.

There are also many ways, and new ones appear almost every day. And tools for decorating can be purchased at a building supermarket or built from improvised means.

Paint roller

Wall decor is most often done using this particular tool. The effect obtained when painting depends on which nozzle is used in the work. A decorating nozzle is made from different materials:

• sponge, foam rubber,
• artificial or natural fur,
• rubber-based materials,
• plastic, cellophane
• different types of fabrics.

Standard Option

A roller is a very simple tool that consists of a handle, a cylinder that can be changed into different "fur coats", and a holder made of metal. Often, for convenience, the paint roller is additionally equipped with a telescopic handle; this device makes it possible to paint ceilings and upper sections of walls without climbing a ladder.

Zoning by shade

The easiest way to decorate is to create a series of solid colored surfaces. Zoning (dividing the surface when painting into sections different colors) is made using masking tape, which allows you to make the boundaries between the zones perfectly even.

Making patterns with a roller

To apply a pattern to walls or ceilings, paint the walls with a patterned roller. The special nozzle leaves a colored impression on the surface. To apply an ornament efficiently, you need at least a little experience. It is quite possible to master this skill in a short time, which will allow you to combine different types of paint, combine nozzles of various configurations in the work and carry out rather complex design solutions.

"Author's" tool

Rollers for decorative painting of walls can be equipped with textured devices of our own production. Options:

• tightly wrap the cylinder with a thick textured rope;
• tie together several long pieces of fabric of different density and tie the cylinder of the roller with the resulting blank so that the knots "look" outward;
• an unusual figured print can be created simply by sewing pieces of sponge or foam rubber, hard and soft fur, braids, as well as fragments of other materials, the use of which will seem interesting, to an ordinary "fur coat".

Important: all this "constructor" must be fixed in such a way that its parts do not create splashes, that is, it is undesirable to have too long or bulky elements. The surface of the roller, despite the texture, should be more or less uniform so that no streaks or gaps form on the painted wall.

Such bold experiments often lead to remarkable results, but before painting the main wall, it is better to test the resulting tool on a piece of cardboard or plywood to ensure the quality of the print.

Painting process

To decorate the walls with a curly coating, you will have to use at least two shades of decorative paint: the base one and the one that is applied directly to the ornament itself.

You can make the main painting in a darker tone, and put a pattern of a light color on top, or vice versa. The main thing is to observe the relative contrast so that the shades do not merge. Staining is carried out as follows:

1. The surface is carefully prepared, that is, cleaned and leveled, if necessary (in any case, it must be perfectly clean and even). To solve the last problem, use the usual and finishing puttyas well as sandpaper.
2. The walls are treated with a primer to create strong adhesion (adhesion of the coloring material to the surface), as well as to make the decorative coating more economical.
3. A base coat of paint is applied to a completely dry base. At the beginning of this stage, you will have to work with a brush to paint over the joints, corners and other hard to reach places, bypass sockets and switches. The remaining area is treated with a roller, moving from top to bottom, and alternating vertical and horizontal movements in order to thoroughly paint over the entire surface.
4. When the first layer is completely dry, they begin the most interesting thing - work with a curly nozzle. A firm hand is important here, because you need to act carefully and accurately. With some practice, you can be sure of success. The roller is rolled from top to bottom, meticulously combining each new strip with the previous one (there should be no overlaps).

Sometimes the resulting dry surface is also treated with transparent varnish to give the coating strength and extend its service life.

Alternative methods of decorative painting

In addition to working with a paint roller, there are other methods of creating beautiful patterns on the surface. For this, various devices and decorative compositions are used.

Stencils

In stores specializing in the sale finishing materials, you can always purchase stencils, with which it is very easy to apply a pattern of any complexity to the walls. To implement your own ideas, you can make this device yourself. It will take suitable material, eg:

• sheet of thin plastic,
• dense polyethylene film,
• rubber-based material.

Important: the stencil must have good moisture-resistant properties, otherwise the pattern will turn out to be blurry due to soggy edges.

An invented ornament is drawn with a pencil or bright crayon on a clean piece of the selected material, and unnecessary pieces are carefully cut out using scissors with thin tips. The resulting stencil needs to be tested to make sure that the picture is of good quality and to eliminate possible errors.

Working with a stencil

The device is applied to a pre-painted in a base tone and dried surface, securely fixed (this work is well done in tandem with an assistant who will press the stencil against the wall). With a paint roller or brush, carefully paint over its surface.

The crucial moment: disconnecting the matrix from the base. This must be done quickly and carefully in order to prevent smearing of the still wet paint.

Thus, the entire wall or its individual sections are processed in accordance with the creative idea.

Unusual coloring compositions

Market building materials offers the modern consumer a wide selection of paints and varnishes:

• fluorescent paints glowing in ultraviolet light,
• luminescent compounds that absorb and accumulate daylight to give it back in the dark,
• coverings with the effect of velvet, mother-of-pearl, brocade and marble,
• paints with fillers in the form of small stones or natural shell crumbs, multi-colored glitter and flakes.

A surface painted with one of these materials looks very stylish and unusual. These coatings can last for up to 10 years.

You can paint the walls decoratively using very unusual methods. For example, use the following materials as a drawing tool:

• a piece of foam rubber or a sponge,
• a crumpled piece of tissue
• crumpled sheet of paper.

These simple devices are simply dipped into the dye composition, remove its excess and "print" on the surface an arbitrary pattern over the previously applied and dried base tone. The resulting pattern creates the effect of the texture of the coating, imitation of marble or natural porous stone, coral walls and, in general, gives the result not only no worse, and sometimes even more interesting than rollers for decorative painting of walls.

One of the solutions for creating an original interior is also decorative wall paint, of which there are many types, and its combination with in unusual ways application is a fun and generally not financially burdensome creative process, but it takes time and imagination.

With the help of paint and improvised means that can be found in every apartment, you can change the interior beyond recognition. And there are many ways to paint walls that will not only transform the space, but also give a lot of pleasure to those who will participate in this process.

Get away from boredom

Using paint on the wall, you can create an exclusive pattern that is not found on wallpaper. This allows you to make the interior special and different from others. You can experiment with colors and shades, shapes, textures. When using several colors, it is worth remembering that in this case it is better to combine:
Different shades of the same color;
Related shades;
Contrasting colors that go well with each other.

Gradation, blots and mold

Today it is fashionable to experiment not only with colors... More and more, designers are trying bold wall designs. For example, they age the wall, make the effect of mold or a damp wall, but use blue, pink, green shades. Large blots, spots and streaks look bold and extraordinary. It is appropriate to use such decor on one of the walls in order to highlight a certain area in the room or make it the compositional center of the interior.

Bold DIY Effects

You don't need to be professional designer, artist or painter. And special tools are not needed in this case. You can make the wall unusual with an ordinary sponge, a clothes brush and a rag. To create textured reliefs, it is recommended to use glue or glazed paints. You need to work with them only after the base paint has completely dried.

Marker and chalk to help

Increasingly in modern interiors walls and furniture painted with slate paint appear. This allows you to take notes on the surface and draw all sorts of images. So the interior is always updated depending on the mood of its owners.

Marker paint also belongs to innovative types of coatings. After its complete drying, which occurs within seven days, you can draw on such a surface with dry-erase markers.

Using stencils

Unusually, you can paint the wall using stencils, buying them at a hardware store or making them yourself. For self-made stencil comes in handy thick paper or cardboard. An interesting effect is also obtained if you wrap a roller with a piece of twisted rag and paint the wall with it.

Painting the walls is the right solution for quickly refreshing the interior. But a monochromatic finish sometimes seems boring, so many refuse this method of decorating rooms. There is a way out: there are modern design ideas wall painting, which will make the interior uncommon at no extra cost.

Preparing the walls

Painting the walls in an apartment is easy to do with your own hands. The painting technology itself is quite simple, but the result will please only with high-quality surface preparation. If the wallpaper can hide minor flaws and defects, then the paint, especially matte paint, will only highlight them. Only textured materials are able to hide pits and small irregularities, and ordinary paints cannot do this. Wall problems will be especially noticeable in good lighting: they will immediately catch your eye.

To prepare the walls for decorative finishing you need to do the following:

• clean the base from the old coating, especially from smooth paints;
• to close up all defects, if necessary, make putty;
• sand the walls well;
• apply a primer in 2-3 layers.

You can start painting only when all layers of the rough finish are completely dry, otherwise the paint will go unevenly and will not last long.

Painting tools

You can apply paint in any way: with a brush, roller, spray. On small surfaces, a roller is preferred, which gives good results and is inexpensive. Also, depending on the chosen design option, stencils, sponges, fabric rollers, different spatulas, hard brushes may be required.

Types of paint

Interesting ideas for decorating walls can be carried out using a variety of colors. There are several types of materials on sale that are suitable for indoor walls and have a rich color palette... The properties of paints vary depending on their composition.

Acrylic paints

Such materials are most often used in finishing worksbecause they have the best price-quality ratio and a large assortment of shades for tinting (about 1000 tones). Acrylic paints are fireproof, harmless to health and the environment, and strengthen walls. Finishing with such material will last a long time, because it will not be subject to destruction from temperature extremes. In too humid rooms, you should not use acrylic paints: they are not highly moisture resistant.

Latex paints

Usually such materials are purchased for rooms with high humidity. Once applied, they form a strong protective film that protects walls from water and damage. Latex paints are environmentally friendly, odorless, fireproof, and dry quickly. When thickened, they can be diluted with water. Unfortunately, the color gamut of such materials is less extensive; they are usually tinted in dull tones. Harmful microorganisms (molds) can grow under the film, so it is advisable to apply a primer with antiseptic additives to the walls before painting.

Water based paints

These materials have the lowest cost, are completely harmless, breathable, and do not disturb the indoor microclimate. They are recognized as the most popular for painting walls, since they are economical in terms of consumption, they are sold everywhere and can be tinted in any color. Minus - the need for frequent updates, the speed of flushing.

Alkyd and oil paints

Alkyd paints give bright, saturated colors, they are very durable, not prone to scratches, are suitable even for damp rooms, and serve for a long time. The disadvantage of paints is significant: they are harmful to health until they dry completely, since they contain toxic organic solvents.

Oil paints are now practically not used in interior decoration works. They dry for a very long time, give an unnatural-looking coating, have a huge consumption and a high cost.

Silicone paint

This material is well suited for walls with slight irregularities. It is able to fill in small gaps, pits, visually leveling the surface and giving it an attractive look. Silicon-based paints prevent the growth of fungi and have excellent water-repellent properties. The downside is the high cost of paints, therefore they are used in decoration less often than acrylic and water-based ones.

Silicate paint

These materials include pigments and liquid glass. They are perfect for concrete, plastered walls in dry rooms, in conditions of high humidity and unstable temperature regime do not apply. Silicate paints are fireproof, have a high degree of vapor permeability, their coating will withstand more than 10 years of operation.

Acrylic vinyl paint

In the composition - acrylic dispersion and polyvinyl acetate, which is the basis of PVA glue. The paint is considered budgetary in cost, is widely used for interior decoration. The material has a lot of disadvantages. It does not belong to the category of wear-resistant coatings, does not tolerate humidity and temperature changes, requires perfectly flat walls, otherwise all defects will be visible on them.

Acrylic latex paint

Due to the addition of latex, this acrylic paint becomes more beautiful, matte, allows you to get a durable coating that is resistant to moisture. The material is characterized by high decorative and operational qualities.

Structural paint

This paintwork material is characterized by high viscosity, the presence of special particles in the composition, which allows it to give the wall an unusual texture. The paint can be acrylic, silicone or mineral based. It is non-toxic, odorless, has excellent water resistance, the painted coating can be washed with SMS.

The material masks the defects of the base, serves for a very long time, allows you to make an original drawing on the wall and show your imagination. The paint is applied with a sponge, a hard textured roller with teeth, a special comb or spatula. Cons - the high price and the need for certain work skills.

Advantages of decorative paints

The use of paints as a decoration for residential premises has a lot of advantages:

• high service life when compared with wallpaper or different types of plaster;
• no joints, cracks, creating a perfectly even coating;
• a large assortment of colors, shades, the ability to choose any desired tone;
• moisture resistance (for some paints), they are used even in the kitchen and in the bathroom, toilet;
• no need to clean the paint layer if you want to change the color (repeated applications over the old coating are possible);
• ecological cleanliness, safety, they are used in children's rooms, in living quarters for allergy sufferers and those suffering from lung diseases;
• suitable for all types of substrates: concrete, brick, plaster, drywall.

Painting walls in an apartment: design techniques

The easiest way is to paint the wall completely in one color, but this method can seem boring. It is better to choose a fashionable design option for staining, because a huge number of such techniques have been developed.

Textured coloring

This finishing method combines different methods of decorating one surface. The result is a coating with a unique texture and interesting shades. Due to the different arrangement of strokes and overlaying tones, it is possible to mask small defects in the base, which will reduce the time for its preparation.

Frottage

No special experience is required to implement this technique. First, a section of the wall must be painted, then, even before the paint has completely dried, take a piece of paper or cellophane, mold a lump out of it and blot the wall. You can make regular prints or ones that will overlap each other. For frotting, it is worth choosing thick paints that dry longer, and the prints on them will be more pronounced.

Sponging

This is another way to create a textured surface. In this case, thick paint is applied with a sponge or brush, resulting in an interesting texture. Best for work water-based paints pastel colors to visually increase the size of the room.

Using a cloth roller

You can buy a fabric roller or make it yourself: wrap a regular tool with a lint-free cloth in the form of a tourniquet. Taking coarse textiles, you can get an interesting effect that looks especially beautiful in a children's bedroom. The procedure will be as follows:

• paint the walls in a neutral tone;
• wait until dry;
• prepare a paint of a different, darker shade;
• moisten the tourniquet on the roller with paint;
• paint the walls in different directions at a time.

Ornament

You can make an ornament on any wall that has already been painted in the base color. First, you should draw it with a pencil, then paint over with other paints with a brush.

Color combination

For painting the walls, you can use 2 or more colors - at will. The main thing is that they harmonize well with each other, so it is better to test the painting in advance on paper. To visually raise the ceiling, darker tones are applied to the lower part, the top of the walls is decorated with light colors. It is better not to use paint that is too dark: it will irritate and oppress a person.

Gradient and ombre

Gradient is an interesting staining technique that uses different shades of the same color. You should start from the bottom, taking darker tones. The gradient can use 3 or more colors, if desired. Ombre is a technique similar to a gradient, only the shades here smoothly transition into each other from saturated to light.

Borders

You don't have to be a professional painter or artist to combine different colors when painting. To obtain even boundaries, lay a strip of adhesive tape in the desired direction, and after the paint dries, remove it. Also, you can make the borders clearer, more highlighted with the help of slats, borders, moldings, beams, mosaics. The same devices will help hide ready-made joints that come out uneven.

Stippling

This method involves painting the walls with the effect of an old shabby surface. First, the wall is covered with the selected paint, then a contrasting colored glaze is applied on top and chaotically passed over it with a wide brush. Additionally, you can touch the wall with a round paint brush while the glaze layer is still fresh. As a result, the coating will look like the old one.

Skin effect

Usually this method is used in the office and the hall. After staining, it will appear that the wall is covered with leather. You will need a suede brush and a piece of suede to paint. The order of work is as follows:

• cover the base with latex paint of any color;
• mix darker latex paint and glaze separately;
• apply the mixture with an ordinary brush to a specific section of the wall;
• wet a suede brush with water, wring it out, lightly touch it along the base, making stains;
• attach a piece of wet suede to the area - this will help to leave a "leather" pattern;
• process the entire wall in small parts in this way.

Venetian plaster effect

This method gives an excellent effect, although it is time consuming. Pour latex paint into a large container, sprinkle some dry pigment on one side. Next, you need to mix the pigment only ½ mass so that the rest remains light. Then take a light paint on a plastic spatula, apply it like a plaster. Make a dark stroke nearby. After the appearance of multiple dark and light spots, it is necessary to drive the spatula along the wall to obtain a stained coating. As it dries, the paint is sanded with fine sandpaper, covered with a special wax composition.

Horizontal division

This technique visually expands the room. It involves the use of a horizontal dividing line. It is best to decorate the bottom of the wall with a darker tone, and the top with a light one, although various experiments are possible. A border is placed between different shades of paint.

Horizontal and vertical stripes

Narrow vertical stripes on the walls are especially recommended if the ceilings in the house are low. It is better not to overuse bright colors in this technique. It is very important to choose well-combined shades, otherwise the room will seem pretentious. You can also paint several horizontal stripes along the walls, which visually expand the boundaries of the space.

Stencils

The use of stencils allows you to get original drawings and ornaments even without artistic ability. Templates are sold in stores, you can also make them yourself by printing or drawing. After that, the stencil is fixed in the right place on the walls, glued with masking tape and the central elements are painted in the desired color or different shades.

Divorces

Making stains is as easy as shelling pears - for this you just need to randomly move the paintbrush along the still wet wall, on which the paint of the required color is applied.

What range and style to choose

In order for the room to evoke only pleasant emotions after staining, you need to choose the right colors or their combinations. It is better to strive for your own desires, and not follow fashion, because it changes almost every year. Here are the most popular paint colors and their purpose:

• black - reduces space, is used only accentuated, otherwise it will make the room gloomy;
• gray - looks stylish, gives coziness, can become a background for walls, but it definitely requires dilution with more "cheerful" tones;
• red is an aggressive color, it is used with caution in the interior, it is practically not used in bedrooms and nurseries;
• yellow is a great color for creating bright spots and diluting dull surroundings, especially recommended for northern rooms;

• orange - gives a feeling of warmth, harmony, conducive to communication, popular in the living room and in the kitchen;

Today, many are trying to avoid all sorts of cliches and repetitions, making their interiors as authorial and unique as possible.

In this article, we will talk about decorative wall painting.

Preparing the walls

It's no secret that the walls must be prepared regardless of the type of finish. But it is worth saying that in the case of painting, the walls need to be prepared the best. Often it is the smoothness and evenness of the walls that is the formula for success. All flaws are visible under the paint, so carefully examine the walls.

• Plaster. The walls must be plastered, creating a base for putty work.
• Putty. The walls are putty with a thin layer, after which they are cleaned to a smooth state.
• Primer. All gaps between plaster, putty and finishing must be primed. The primer provides good adhesion of materials.

Which paint to choose

To choose a paint, it is advisable to understand the following about it:

1. How quickly the paint dries.
2. Does the paint smell too defiant?
3. Whether the paint consumption corresponds to that indicated on the package.

You can paint the walls decoratively in the following ways

1. Combining several common paints, but different colors.
2. By choosing a special decorative paint and applying it in a specific way.

If you choose the first method, then as a rule you will have a fairly liquid paint, which must be applied with a molar roller. In some cases, a spray bottle is used that allows you to evenly apply paint to every centimeter of your walls. However, in most cases, an ordinary roller is still used.

You should pay attention to how you apply the paint. It is better to do this with uniform movements and equally on all wall surfaces. This ensures that the paint will adhere equally to all areas of the walls.

It is necessary to paint the walls in several layers. Each subsequent one is applied to the dried previous one.

Use of decor

A stencil can be made from any thick paper by cutting out the pattern you need on it.

Contrast coloring

An excellent effect is achieved with the use of contrasting colors. For example, you combine cinnamon and pale burgundy, etc. If you are not deprived of imagination, then you can come up with interesting interiors.

other methods

You can also use decorative paint. However, to apply it, you need to learn some technological principles. For example, to make the walls silky, use silk paint.

• Apply it in one step and let it dry.
• After using a sponge, saturate the walls with a second layer, thereby forming a texture.
• Next, you need to wait 20 minutes until the paint dries a little.
• Take a wallpaper spatula and smooth out the paint with random movements.

Decorative paints - know-how in the world of paints

It is no longer fashionable to paint walls with ordinary paint. A modern and creative type of interior decoration is the use of decorative paints. It is both stylish and very unusual at the same time.

What is unusual in this finishing material and why, having appeared quite recently on the finishing materials market, has already achieved a certain popularity?

Let's start with the fact that most decorative paints are dispersion paints. And some of the important qualities are their safety, durability and wear resistance. Water vapor permeability is also an important quality that allows air to circulate. All this makes the decorative paint suitable for use in all areas of the house, and even in the children's room.

In addition, using these paints, you can hide minor surface imperfections, such as cracks, chips, small irregularities. It fills in the voids and makes them invisible.

It should be noted that this paint is usually used for wall decoration. This is what it is most suitable for. Occasionally, there are examples of ceiling design, which, given the peculiarities of application, is a more complex decor.

Applying decorative paint will make it possible to make the surface unusual and very original. Even imitation for materials such as stone, decorative paint with a silk effect, wood, marble becomes quite real.

The range of colors is very large, you can even decorate the walls in gold or silver and give the interior some luxury.

All this is possible due to the introduction of polymer or mineral components into the paint, which turn it into decorative, and this is done immediately before work.

To achieve a rough, embossed structure, sawdust can serve as a paint filler.

The addition of quartz sand will roughen the finish. But manufacturers do not stop there, and they add mother of pearl to the sand. The surface becomes semi-gloss with a slight pleasant shine.

For greater shine and elegance, sparkles are added to the paint. Such a coating becomes very solemn and sparkles in refracted light.

Modern technology makes it possible to create a chameleon paint that changes color depending on the lighting. This is surprising and very unusual, such a design will delight the owners and will greatly surprise the guests.

It is sold in two versions - ready-made and requiring mixing of ingredients and dilution. The second option is more troublesome, but not very laborious.

In addition, there are recipes for independently preparing decorative paint from ordinary and improvised material. And if you want to experiment and do something unusual with your own hands, then you should not miss this opportunity.

In fact, this can be called any wall painting - decorative painting. But unlike the monochrome method, any multicolor or textured finish will be called decorative. Distinguish between two large classes in the way these works are performed. The first is the use of decorative paints, the second is the use of special tools or techniques to create original colors.

Decorative paints and tools

The difference between textured or structural plaster and paint is conditional. They have a slight difference in density, even in the method of application, they may not differ, because there are types of works when the top layer of plaster is applied with a brush and vice versa. For example, a soft plastic trowel can be used at the final stage of finishing with mosaic paint. Moreover, textured coatings are made on the basis of ordinary paint, adding fillers to it. Depending on the consistency of the final product, they work with it either with a brush or roller, or with a spatula or float.

1.In the full sense of the word, this type includes mosaic (multicolor or structural) paints. Multicolored soft particles are mixed in a colorless binder base, but do not mix with each other. When the coating is carried out with a spray gun, then when it hits the wall, the particles are broken, creating the effect of a colored mosaic. If the work is performed with a brush or roller, then the colored particles are pressed with a soft spatula.

2. Flock coating is certainly not plaster, although it is often called that. An adhesive base is applied to the wall, on top of which, while it is not dry, solid acrylic particles (flocks or chips) are sprayed. After the base has dried and the crumbling elements have been removed with a brush, a protective layer of varnish is applied.

Decorative painting of walls - options and technologies

This category of process technology can be divided into two subtypes. Each of them, as a rule, uses at least two layers: background and main. In the first case, a special tool is used, in the second, a special technique for making a drawing.

The use of embossed rollers allows you to make a pattern with step alternation of a small pattern cut on the surface of the roller. For larger sizes, stencils are used. In both versions, you can alternate different colors.

1. Quite an interesting decorating technique is sponging. Using several sponges with large pores and different shades of paint, you can achieve the effect of a colored chaotic mosaic. The only condition is that each layer must be applied after the previous one has dried.

2. A similar effect can be achieved by spraying. They take a brush with a short hard bristle, you can even a toothbrush, dip it in a bath of paint, shake off the excess, bring it close to the surface and, holding a thin needle from the wall towards you, spray paint droplets. This way you can create interesting color saturation transitions depending on the density of the splash. Of course, for a large area, this method is quite laborious, but for painting inside the stencil, it gives a good result.

3. Simple, but effective, an unusual decor is obtained if a strip of fabric or leather is wound on a regular roller. This will simulate a relief without a clear pattern.

4. Even with a regular brush, using different shades of the same paint, it is possible to paint a marble effect using wide free strokes. It is then enough to draw veins of a darker color on top with a thin brush.

5. The combined method, using both a special paint and a special technique of execution, is an imitation of an "old" coating. The composition of the paint includes components that give the paint different shades depending on the force with which the brush is pressed - where the force is greater, the tone is lighter. The "scuffed" effect is enhanced by rubbing the surface with a sponge or cloth. Finish coating wax will protect against further impact on the material and emphasize the features of the decor.

There are endless examples. But it is obvious that the field for creativity is limitless, the tools are easy to use, and each creator is able to bring something new into his home.
