Tried ombre for your hair? Or bought an ombre dress- then it is time you experiment with this passionate pattern on your bedroom walls. We suggest bedroom walls for the soothing feel it offers- whether early in the morning or after a day’s hard work, an ombre pattern is sure to ease your stress. The most common are the hues of blue for a cloudy feel inside the warmth of your bedroom or indulging in misty hues of natural green to bring in the rain forest theme into your living spaces. For an extratropical feel, you can deck it with real plants, succulents, creepers, and flowering plants alongside the wall space.

Sponging
Ideal for beginners or novice DIY enthusiasts, the sponging painting technique is probably the most cost-effective and easiest of the lot. You can use a sponge paint roller and cans of your favorite colors to get started. If you have the usual sponges at your home, you can start using those as well. Sponging gives a dense and dynamic texture to the walls and provides a professional feel when done correctly.
Sponge paint if not done properly will leave a clumsy look, hence it is advised to initiate a small patch, work on it and later protract to a larger space. There is every chance the sponging can lead to paint drips if taken in excess. Hence it is wise to do homework on how much to apply and the technique to that right.
A DIY paint job is undoubtedly super fun when all goes well. However, it is recommended you try initially from the walls of your garage to plug in all the loose ends and get pro as you move to your living, dining, and bedroom walls.
Irrespective of the painting method or style you choose, be sure to execute it with patience. You can start experimenting with small surface areas to see what looks best and what needs improvement. You can also take the assistance of professionals in deciding the colors, method of painting, and finally selecting the perfect weather & day.
