10 Gorgeous Spaces Transformed by Textured Paint
Give a makeover to plain walls with textured paint. Here are breathtaking spaces that will convince you
Textured paint can take your walls from flat to fab and give the illusion of dimension and depth without any remodelling fuss. This look is usually attained by mixing additives into standard paint or using specific painting techniques or going for readily available textured paints. Here are some standout textured paint designs that break the monotony of smooth and make your walls look like works of art.
1. This textured orange wall serves as a gorgeous backdrop for the painting. The paint used here is sand quartz, which sparkles in both natural and artificial light. Its rugged finish gives it the look of sandstone. The soft hues exude warmth and help bring out the peppy stripes on the couch.
2. This quaint living room is finished with a texture-painted or popcorn ceiling. While white can make a room feel brighter and bigger, it can also look dull when you’re faced with flat, pale walls. Adding the textured ceiling along with the white panelled wall breaks the monotony of plain white.

3. In this space designed by Richa Bahl, the vibrant burst of reddish-orange draws attention to the niches. Plain white along with a dash of colour and texture conjures up a lively, dynamic wall to display art pieces. One can get such patterns by using techniques like rag rolling or combing.

4. This foyer leads to the living room featured in the previous image. Richa Bahl maintains continuity by painting it in similar hues of rust with a white patterned band dividing the wall horizontally. Using the brushstroke effect, combined with traditional vintage Indian decor, gives this area an earthy vibe.
5. Different textures combine in this alcove with a carved wooden jharokha in distressed finish by The Raj Company. Shades of yellow give the sense of dawn on the horizon against the sky-like textured blue wall.
6. Splashing this wall with bright textured paint injects visual interest and adds an inviting vibe to this outdoor seating area. What look like petal-shaped stick-ons bring a sense of playfulness. The jali window introduces another element of complementing patterns.

8. Grey is anything but boring in this relaxing balcony space. The textured effect of mixed dull blue and grey is given a lift with eclectic hues of pinks and turquoise. The Japanese scroll artwork brings an added dollop of sophistication.
9. A wall in tints of bronze and copper brings an old-fashioned charm to this powder room. The two metallics play off each other and lend a subtle metallic lustre and sheen. This is usually achieved through a combination of oxidised paints, patinas and rust activators.
10. The ombre (a graduated-colour technique) wall paint livens up the clean, straight-lined furniture in this seating area with the right blend of texture and colour. Contrasting rustic concrete pillars funnel the eye straight towards the painted show-stealer.
