Add character to your walls with textures and decorative finishes.
Texture and decorative painting can add depth, character, and visual interest to selected walls and spaces in your home.
Unlike a standard flat paint finish, decorative treatments can create different patterns, textures, and visual effects depending on the material, technique, surface, and desired look.
Decorative finishes can be used selectively rather than across every wall. Common applications include:
Living room feature walls
Bedroom accent walls
Entryways and foyers
Dining areas
Selected architectural features
The right location depends on the overall design of the room and the effect you want to create.
There are many possible decorative effects, from subtle textures to more prominent feature finishes. Your choice should consider the room's existing colours, lighting, furniture, wall condition, and the amount of visual emphasis you want.
A feature wall can sometimes create more impact than applying a decorative finish throughout an entire room.
The underlying wall should be suitable for the selected finish. Cracks, peeling paint, dampness, or uneven areas may need to be addressed before decorative work begins.
Good preparation helps the finished texture look more consistent and can make the final result easier to maintain.
Before requesting a quote, decide which walls you want to highlight, the type of look you prefer, and whether the existing surface needs repair or preparation.

The final cost depends on the selected finish, surface condition, area, materials, and work involved.
