wall effects

Wall effects are achieved by using wall paints which are applied in such a way that they have an iridescent structure. This technique enables rooms to feel very lively without being overbearing.

The paint is applied in several layers and the structure is obtained with the using a variety of tools (such as brushes, sponges and rollers) and techniques (dabbing, wiping....)

Over the past few years there has been an increasing trend to achieve different colour effects from just one colour.

 For this reason, many do-it-yourself techniques have sprung up to achieve similar optical effects. These, however, cannot be compared to the old traditional methods of production which have been passed down as original recipes by generations of famous mural painters.

The difference is often easy even for an amateur to spot because these wall effects do not have such a fine structure and often appear patchy.

A wall effect can also be combined with various other effects. Crackling, for instance, is an effect which is very popular in England and the patina effect is widely used in France and Italy. The patina effect aims to make old things look new which is particularly successful for the renovation of old houses.

It is also possible to use these effects on other materials, e.g. medium-thick chipboard, or other kinds of board.

 As previously described, the different wall effects can be combined and divided into different areas. This creates a harmonic interplay of the effects giving rooms a wonderful atmosphere.
