What to consider when combining staining
The basic rule is a reasonable combination of colors. There are 3 combination options:
- related shades - classic black and white, neutral, pastel cold tones;
- degrade - the transition within the same color from dark to light tones;
- a combination of different colors, taking into account saturation, temperature.
The combination of colors requires accuracy. You will need a high-quality masking tape that will protect the surface and easily detach. To design insufficiently perfect borders, you can use polyurethane molding, paper and stone borders, mosaics and decorative battens. All markings must be done only after the paint has completely dried.
