Summary

Three simple sections put a fresh coat on designing with paint. "The Paints" details finishes, illustrating the qualities, appearances and possible uses of various paints. "Techniques" explores a range of textures and patterns, from the familiar stencilling and sponging to the more complex marbling, relief, color washing and woodgraining. Using the first two sections to achieve "The Look" is how your personal sense of style and inspiration from your surroundings will color your rooms. Whether you are an apartment or country dweller, prefer white-on-white or vibrant colors, graphic, floral or historical decorating schemes, New Ways With Paint will shape your signature designs.
