While you don’t have experience, you can still make your rooms nice and colorful with one of these easy decorative wall painting methods.
Before painting your room, pick out a color scheme for your walls. Have in mind, most of the painting methods use two shades of the same color for their designs. Incidentally, if you also choose a pattern that has two shades, pick your base coat shade darker than usual, as when you give the lighter top coat the base coat will become lighter making the final result lighter.
To sponge or rag a wall, paint the base color first and let it dry fully. Dip your sponge or rag in the top coat shade then and sponge or drag it across until you like the result. Keep repeating the procedure until the entire wall is done.

First, paint the walls with the color your choice for the mortar between the bricks or stones. After it becomes dry, stamp or stencil your bricks or stones over the base coat.
