blends in with the finish. For use mainly on walls.
Stoneblocking
is used on interior walls to create outdoor stone finishes. In the
past 2 centuries this method was used mainly in hallways and stairwells
of chateaux and stately homes. Nowadays it is used anywhere in an
interior room to create a stone look. This can be achieved either
with a highly textured paint which will give a more rustic effect,
or a traditional paint with a softer finish.
Ragging
creates a definite print, with a very sharp effect. Suitable mainly
for walls.
Stippling
is a textured, mottled effect which consists in a ‘pin-prick’
effect of colours. Suitable for walls, furniture and objects.
Liming
is a beautiful finish for open-grained woods such as oak. Suitable
