Advantages of Decorative Painting

Decorative painting is the process of using a range of paint materials and methods to embellish surfaces. These include furniture, walls, floors, kitchenware, and other things. The benefits of decorative painting are numerous. With most homeowners looking to this type of service for modern enhancements that are both affordable and beautiful, it's hard not to say no. Here are just a few of the many reasons why you should consider hiring us or for your next project:


Add Personal Style – Decorative painting adds style and personality to any room in the house. By using your favorite colors and textures, you can create spaces that are functional as well as fun to live in.


Enhance the Visual Perception of a Room – If your rooms lack appeal, painting them with brighter hues can give them a new lease on life. Just think about how much lighter the spaces will feel and how much more inviting they will look after we finish.


Increase Curb Appeal and Value – According to our experts, decorative painting is the fastest and most effective way to improve your home's exterior appeal. That means it can help you sell your house faster or get a higher asking price for it.


An Option Better than Wallpapers

Do want to have walls with a rich texture and pattern? If so, you don't have to always stick to wallpaper. Decorative painting, such as a hand-painted mural or an ombré wash of color, can produce a similar look w ithout the need for glue or mismatched seams. You'll be able to design a distinctive appearance that no one else will be able to achieve. Some techniques of decorative painting include:


  • Marbleizing
  • Graphic Shapes
  • Rag Rolling
  • Strié

An Overview of Decorative Painting

Our professionals are particular when it comes to the equipment they use for decorative painting. Before starting, we need to prepare the tools we need. These may include:


  • Professional-grade airless sprayer (We recommend using Graco Magnum X5 since it can produce a high level of output)
  • An electric roller or paint pad
  • A small bucket and a rag
  • Sandpaper in different grades of grit (we recommend #40, #60, and #80)
  • High quality 2-inch angled and 12 inch angular brushes for cutting-in


Once you're all set, you'll have to prep the surface. Start by cleaning the walls, making sure they are free of dirt, dust, or grime. Then, sand down the area to create an even surface. When done, you can proceed with priming using a quality primer that's water-based. A water-based primer is easier to clean up and will dry faster than oil-based primers. However, if you're painting on wood, you should use an oil-based primer.


After the primer dries, you can start painting using your airless sprayer or an angled brush, leaving the sanded area for last to give it a rustic feel. Using an angular brush gives us cleaner lines compared to using a roller. Make sure to let your painting dry before applying a second coat.
