Paint Tips
Eggshell paints are particularly desirable when
living room spaces are used for family relaxation,
as they contain low angle sheen combined with durability.
Depending upon the look you desire for your living
room, matte paints are also available which possess
good wash ability and stain resistance. |

More often used for family relaxation
than formal entertainment, today’s living rooms reflect
comfortable, stylish spaces. An ideal location to highlight
a unique decorating "persona",
color choices for living rooms can be as bold or relaxing as
the individual preferences of the homeowner. Decorative
Paint Techniques: Techniques that are utilized
in
living room spaces demonstrate a homeowner’s preference
for
added texture, color and style (see Decorative
Techniques).
 •
Utilizing a "Combing" or "Dragging" technique,
for instance on one representative accent wall that is
within in a small, square living room area can lend the
illusion of added length and space.
• Consider decorative techniques that provide
fabric like appearances such as leather, suede and silk
to impart an elegant appearance for living rooms that portray a formal
air.
 • Denim, chambray and chenille fabrications can also be
achieved through the use of decorative paint techniques for
the more casually styled living room space.
•
Consider adding distinctive flair to the living room space
by incorporating color by means of painted picture frames
used as decorative accents, painted "faux" fireplaces
add ambiance and charm, or contrasting painted moldings
and trim within the living room space.
