Trying to find a unique and different finish for any home decorating project can be expensive and most people opt for wallpaper as that seems the easiest way. However learning how to create a faux marble finish is fairly simple and does not require expensive equipment and materials.
Most painting techniques can create an individual and unique feel to any room that you want to decorate. It may be easier just to call in the professionals to do the job for you, but if you create a stunning looking room all by yourself, the rewards are not only aesthetically pleasing, but you will be much more likely to enjoy the finished design knowing that all your hard work went into it.
Another great thing about learning new painting techniques is that once you have mastered the skill, you can use it almost anywhere you like, not only on walls but also any furniture, counter tops or even boring perimeter fences.
You can get the whole family involved and the kids especially will love to learn how to create a faux marble finish. All children love painting and when decorating with painting techniques there is usually a lot more “tools” involved than the boring old paintbrush.
Sponges, crumpled up newspaper and rubber stamps are just a few items that the kids are sure love. If your décor project is not in an area that you need to be perfect, like a kid’s bedroom, let them have a wall all to their own. The finish may not be perfect, but the joy on their faces will be priceless as they stand back and admire their “Mona Lisa”
