Keeping up with the latest painting techniques can dramatically improve the look of your home, making your spaces more vibrant and modern. Explore what’s trending and where each technique shines.

Textured Finishes

Sponging, rag rolling and stippling add depth and character. Use them to mimic stone, linen or plaster without the weight or cost.

Ombre Effects

Gradient blends from light to dark create calming feature walls. Works brilliantly behind headboards and stairwells.

Geometric Patterns

Masking tape + bold colour = impact. Try chevrons, hexagons or angled blocks to energise hallways or office nooks.

Colour Blocking

Frame an area or architectural feature with contrasting blocks. Great for zoning open-plan rooms.

Metallic Accents

Brushed golds and soft silvers add a luxe note. Best used sparingly on trims, panels or art walls.

Faux Finishes

Replicate wood grain, concrete or marble for a custom look. Pair with durable sealers in high-touch zones.

Chalkboard Paint

Functional and fun for kitchens, playrooms and studios. Use quality primers to keep edges crisp.

Eco-Friendly Paints

Low/zero-VOC paints improve indoor air quality—ideal for bedrooms and nurseries.

High-Gloss Finishes

Ultra-smooth and reflective; fantastic on doors and cabinetry. Prep is everything for a mirror finish.

Custom Murals

Turn walls into art with hand-painted or printed murals. Perfect for feature walls and brandable workplaces.
