Effects Examples
Bagging |
Dragging |
||||
A bag is used to make the pattern. |
|
 |
|
This is a very controlled classical look and ideally should be done on a sound surface, as any imperfections will be accentuated. |
 |
|
|||||
Decoupage |
Gilding |
||||
The art of decorating surfaces by applying paper cut-outs and then varnishing. |
 |
Generally used over small areas, gilding can be carried out with Gold Leaf, Waxes, and Powders. |
 |
||
|
|||||
Rag Rolling |
Frottage |
||||
Three stages are involved; the glaze is put on, it is then stippled to knock out the brush marks and finally the surface is rolled. |
 |
This effect is useful in producing Block Work. It is a good technique for disguising older, uneven walls. |

Colour Washing |
Sponging |
||||
One of the most simple methods of painting walls. It is ideal for use on walls in poor condition as imperfections disappear if the base colour and top are similar in tone. |
 |
This finish looks best on a coloured background - as opposed to white - with a range of colours or tones applied on top. |
 |

|
|||||
Ragging |
Stippling |
||||
| A rag is pounced on the glaze to produce the pattern. |  |
Uses a special brush to produce fine dots over a surface. |  |
||
|
|||||
Aging |
Stencilling |
||||
| There are many ways to age, ranging from rubbing back (distressing) a colour to expose another colour or surface underneath, to over painting to replicate age. |  |
An excellent method for producing personalised wallpaper. Stencils can be made to copy any motif or design in the home. |  |
