  2. When Selecting Wall Treatments Consider: 1. The size and shape of the room 2. The desired feeling 3. The floor covering

  3. Paint • Cheap • Easy • Fast

  4. Paint Flat Satin or Eggshell • No gloss • Soft finish • Does not wash easily • Used in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and on ceilings • Least expensive • A little shiny • Washes better than flat • Used in the same areas as flat

  5. Paint Continued… Semi-Gloss Gloss or Enamel • More sheen than satin • Can be washed regularly • Used in kitchens, bathrooms, children’s rooms, and laundry rooms • Used on woodwork and furniture • Highly reflective • Protective • Can be scrubbed • Decorative look • Used in same areas as semi-gloss • Used on windowsills, radiators, and heating pipes

  6. Paint Continued… Texture • Gives wall a rough surface • Used to give special effects or hide flaws • Different texture can be achieved based on the thickness of paint and what is added to the paint • Can be rolled, sprayed, brushed, sponged, toweled

  7. Tips Before You Begin Painting • Choose a color lighter than you want • The amount of paint needed depends on: • The type of paint • The color of the wall being covered • The condition of the wall • Measure the distance around the room and multiply by the height of the ceiling • Give this measurement to the sales person • If unsure, buy more • Matching colors within a room?

  8. Wallpaper • Decorative paper or vinyl • Can be used to enhance any room • Can be used in kitchens and bathrooms • Can be scrubbed • Prepasted or not

  9. Other Wall Treatments Brick or Stone Fabric • Used mainly for decorative walls and fireplace walls • Requires little care • Expensive to install • Creates a warm, cozy atmosphere • Adds color, warmth, texture, and interest • Expensive • Not too durable

  10. Other Wall Treatments Continued… Ceramic Tile Paneling • Available in many colors, patterns, and shapes • Durable • Easy to maintain • Many different colors and textures available • Appropriate for any room

  11. Other Wall Treatments Continued… Carpet or Cork Mirrors • Adds texture • Absorbs noise • Adds warmth • Gives the illusion of space • Dramatic • Costly

  12. Ceilings • Should be white or light to give the feeling of height or space

  13. Remember: • A room will look larger when light, cool (colors), dull (intensities), smooth (textures), and small patterned treatments are used • A room will look smaller when dark, warm (colors), bright (intensities), rough, shiny (texture), and large patterned treatments are used
