How To Color Wash Your Walls: Tips And Instructions
Color washing your walls is one of the easiest faux painting techniques and also one of the nicest techniques! Color washing requires very little specialized faux painting skills, is easy to clean up and is hard to mess up. The main technique in color washing is using a wiping motion to apply the glaze to your walls. In fact, to create cool visual effects, all you need to do is vary your wiping motions as you apply the glaze. If you will be color washing an entire room, then glaze walls opposite from one another first. This will allow adequate time for drying and avoid smudging wet glaze in corners. If you want a look with richer color depth, work with three colors - a base color, a glaze darker than your base color, and a third deeper glaze color.
Here are 3 Simple Color Washing Steps:
Step 1 – Preparing the Walls
Clean your walls thoroughly and patch any wall imperfections. Use painters tape around walls, moldings, etc. Read more paint preparation tips here.
Step 2 - Apply base color
Apply the base color you selected and follow any special instructions that come with the paint. Let the base color dry before going to the next step.
Step 3 - Apply glaze mixture
Start by dipping a soft cloth or sea sponge into your glaze mixture. The soft cloth will give glaze a more subtle appearance, while using the sponge will give a more textured look. You are now ready to apply the glaze and this is where technique matters. Start by applying the glaze mixture to your wall using a random wiping or circular motion, as if you were washing the wall. Continue this wiping technique until the entire surface is covered.
