Nowadays, during cosmetic repairs, many refuse to wallpaper the walls and choose an alternative way - painting the room. No need to peel old paper and throw away a lot of construction debris, combine the pattern and glue the lagging seams. The advantage of painted surfaces is that they are easy to clean. And so that the walls are not oppressed by monotony and boredom, there are creative and economical methods of their own design with the help of a variety of unique textures.
Cellophane
Using cellophane film when painting walls is very easy to achieve an unusual effect of crumpled paper. This will require a minimum of effort and time. After applying the paint roller to the wall, while it has not yet dried, you should lay on it a large bag in one layer. No need to align the formed folds - the effect of them will only be more interesting. On fresh paint, the bag itself holds well.
It is necessary to hold a clean roller on top of the film without strong pressure so that the cellophane prints better on the painted surface. The procedure is pretty fast. Immediately after this, you can remove the package. It is most convenient to pull it by one of the corners.
If the selected paint dries quickly, it is not recommended to paint a large area. It is better to process small surfaces in parts.
Rag
Masters and craftsmen have come up with many ways to use a banal piece of fabric to create an original texture on the wall surface. Staining begins by applying a layer of paint of the selected color. After some time, when the coating dries slightly, the crumpled rag is dipped in dye and methodically pressed to the painted surface, leaving textured prints on it, creating a chaotic surreal pattern on the wall that resembles marble stains.
The texture of the pattern will depend on the frequency, method and intensity of clicks. So realize a lot of unique patterns and shades.
If you place prints close to each other, the pattern will be homogeneous. If you use a clean white cloth without wetting it in the dye, the result will be a less saturated coloring of the walls. To speed up the painting process will allow a cloth wound on a roller. In this case, the effect will be no less remarkable.
The uniqueness of the pattern is obtained with all sorts of tricky tricks:
- knotted knots on fabric;
- twist it;
- wrap the roller with threads;
- use a relief towel.

Sponge
The use of porous foam sponge for washing dishes in painting walls allows you to give the surface a grainy texture that resembles a painting in the style of impressionism. To get a successful staining result, you need to know an important trick: there should not be too much paint on the economic sponge, otherwise it will turn out not a pattern, but a daub.
The device is dipped in dye, but then carefully squeezed and be sure to make a test print on paper. Only then can prints be made on the wall. Saturation and brightness will depend on the intensity of the pressure and the distance of application of the paint.

An interesting effect with small vertical stripes is obtained when using a home broom (brushes, panicles).Texture paint is best suited for this experiment due to its denser texture. On it, the picture will look more prominent. It will take two contrasting colors. First, a lighter tone is applied with a conventional roller and allowed to dry for about half an hour. Immediately after covering the wall with a second - darker - layer, you can begin decorating with improvised objects.
To get small strips, with effort without tearing off, they hold a broom in the direction from top to bottom - from the ceiling to the floor. Vertical stripes also look good. The effect of a fine mesh or woven linen is achieved if, after vertical processing, horizontal strips are also carried out. Moreover, you can work with a broom, as well as with a regular hard shoe brush, which is even more convenient to hold in your hands. To clean the surface, excess paint should be regularly removed from the tool.
With the independent creation of a textured drawing using improvised devices, you just need to demonstrate your imagination. In addition to the described methods, you can come up with many other creative ideas for the original painting of the walls that do not require large expenditures of money and effort, and the room will look like a unique design project.
