Decorative Paint Finishes

by Louise Hennigs, Marina Niven
 

An inspirational and practical home decorating guide aimed at both the curious newcomer and the more practised home decorator. It features more than 20 special paint effects including faux finishes such as malachite and lapis lazuli, as well as essential techniques such as ragging and sponging. The authors, both of whom are professional decorative paint finishers, share the tricks of their trade. The chapter on material and equipment introduces everything needed for the finishes described. Guidelines are given for preparing the chosen surface, while a chapter on colour theory should enable the reader to mix and match confidently. Step-by-step instructions make up the main part of the book and demonstrate the basic skills as well as the more challenging techniques.

 
Published October 2000, 128 pages, softcover.
