Colour wash a small room to add dimension
Does your small room look confin-
ing and bare-Without dimension and
texture on the walls. you can feel sti-
tled in a small room. Spruce it up
with a new and simple faux finishing
technique - colour washing. The
technique of colour washing is quick
and easy, and the end result is a ren-
ovated room with character.
Experts recommend following
these steps for colour washing.
Getting Started
Decide how many walls you wish -
to paint. Traditionally, all four walls
of a room are painted the same
colour. But, you can accent the room
with a splash of colour by painting
just two walls and leaving the other
two a neutral tone. This not only
adds colour and enhances the mood
of the room, but increases dimension
as well.
Next, select the paint. Think about
how the colours you choose will look
together. The base coat in colour
washing is the one you wish to see
least and the top coat, that you wash
on. will be the most prevalent. You
can choose the same colour for both,
or decide on a lighter shade over a
darker or vice versa.
There are several finishes to
choose from - a low luster, semi-
gloss, gloss and others. Deciding
how much luster you want from the
paint will help you choose the appro-
priate finish.
Mask off the area you are painting,
so the edges are straight and there are
no mistakes.
Colour Washing
For maximum smoothness and
leveling, pre-condition the base coat.
Apply the base coat as you would
any ordinary paint application.
Allow it to dry fully according to the
manufacturer's recommendation.
Next, mix the colour wash. If using
an oil or alkyd based paint, mix one
part paint and one part Penetrol. If
using a latex paint, mix one part
pint. one part Floetrol and one part
water. Flood suggests using Penetrol
and Floetrol because they condition
the paint to improve brushability and
increase the . wet edge time.
Professionals rely on these qualities
when performing any faux finishing
technique.
Apply the colour wash using either
a rag or sponge. Dip the rag or
sponge into the colour wash mixture
and squeeze out any excess. In a cir-
cular motion, similar to waxing a car,
apply the wash on the walls. If you
apply a trifitimal amount of wash, the
walls will have a distressed look to
them. The more paint you wash on
the walls, the softer and more subtle
it will look.
