Murals

• Stencil – This is done by rubbing the color with sponges or brushes into a cutout shape. This will create a pattern when you remove the template. This method is used mainly in rural-themed homes. The templates are made in the middle or on the top of the wall as a border or even on the risers. Stenciling does not require artistic skill to create the images. All you need to do is spread the color inside the cutout shape on the template.

• Stripes: it is about filling the color within the lines of a particular space. The interior painter will place heavy-duty masking tape in straight lines on the wall. The farther the tape is, the wider the stripes will be. After the wall is painted, the masking tape is removed, revealing light streaks. If you want to put colors, you can tape both sides of the strip and paint between the strips of masking tape. When you remove the strips of masking tape, you will have a colored stripe between the main colors on the wall.

• Sponge: this is a very simple technique to add decoration to your walls. All the interior painter has to do is dip a sponge into the paint and stamp it on the walls. To give more depth to mottled results, different shades of the same color in dark, light and medium tones. When performing this painting technique you should use a type of porous or natural sponge so that you get a strong texture.
