  2. What to consider? • Walls are the largest background space • Wall condition • Cost • Room function • Desired look • lifestyle

  3. Paint • Usually least expensive but depends on shape of walls • Time consuming to prepare • First wash • Fill holes • Maybe apply primer • Paint • 1 gallon for 350-400 feet

  4. Types of Paint • Solvent-based • May be oil or alkyd (synthetic resin) • Dries more quickly • Doesn’t use lead • Durable • Washable • Good for kitchens and bathrooms • Clean with solvent

  5. Latex Paint • Water based • Quick drying • Easy to apply • Doesn’t stick well to bare wood or alkyd paint • Cleanup with warm water

  6. Paint Finishes • Gloss • Semi-gloss • Satin or eggshell • Flat (dull) • Textured Easiest to clean Look more formal Adds interest but hard to clean

  7. Decorative Paint • Sponging • Apply base coat • Dip sponge in color(s) to add texture and depth • Ragging • Base coat • Wad of fabric or plastic wrap to add next layer • Dragging • Drag tool through wet paint to create a texture • Stenciling • Apply pattern through cutouts using up and down motion • Mural • Scene painted on a wall or ceiling

  8. Wallpaper • Used since 16th century • Vinyl and vinyl-coated • most used • Good for kitchens, bathrooms, kids rooms • Most are water and stain resistant • Hassle to change

  9. More Types of Wallpaper • Foil-makes room appear larger • Embossed- raised surface areas, formal • Grass cloth- loosely woven plant fibers

  10. Steps to Wallpaper • Cut appropriate sizes • Size walls (thin coating to make walls tacky) • Soak briefly in water • Or spread paste on back

  11. Paneling • Solid Wood- pretty, expensive, many colors • Manufactured- thin layer of fine wood bonded to less expensive wood backing, more affordable • Laminated plastic- layers of paper and resins baked at high temp, colors or patterns

  12. Molding • Strips of shaped wood for trim or decoration • Doors, windows, walls • Crown molding: wide trim on walls next to ceiling • Chair rail: molding that runs about 3 ft. from floor • Baseboards: hide break between wall and floor
