To transform our house do not need to build it again or spend a fortune on furniture. Just know some decorating techniques and use them with ingenuity in our style and needs.

One of the most strikes me is the patina . And not only by the variety of applications, but because it is able to make the old take an air of novelty and imposing as a favorite trends of the moment.

With the patina is achieved that which he painted surface has a shadow play can give a warm and effective lighting to the room where they perform. However, there are variations depending on the particular material or application object.

The place where work is most often in the walls . Here takes place the fake stucco, which resembles the texture of the classic Venetian sculptures, the style of Romeo and Juliet.

To create this effect, give a coat of paint (preferably a shade of cream, pearl or ivory) on which you already have. And before it dries, pass a cloth on the walls in different directions, allowing it to mix the two layers in a very subtle and original.

But the patina is not only used on the walls. It is also very useful for covering old furniture that have been mistreated by the passage of time or simply to give a "new look".

With the aging takes advantage of the old style of these objects to enhance your shape and "cover" those flaws inherent wear. It is very similar to the fake stucco, only the surface layer of paint is a dark varnish and may contain some "splash" of golden glitter or acrylic paint.

And if we want to get as many complications and we will decorate small objects (not only used in them), it is best to apply the foam , which as its name suggests, gives the appearance of small sponges inserted on the surface.
