White walls are blank canvases with the potential to establish a subtle backdrop for a room or define its style. This comprehensive sourcebook of innovative ideas contains hundreds of decorating techniques designed to add a touch of visual interest everywhere in the home. From varnishes to pigments and limewashing to sgraffito, every eye-catching transformation is accompanied by an enticing photograph, materials list, and thorough instructions. Alongside thoroughly modern styles, the classic, standard, and even the old-fashioned techniques are reinvented by changing color, scale, and texture. A recipe and skills section, and separate chapters for pattern, texture, color, and style, provide all the information needed.
